It's in the air

When people say it must be in the air, I am now agreeing with them! The pollen count must be out of sight! My left eye is always crying. Especially at school. I don't think I am allergic to work, but I do know something is making me miserable.

On a good note! I am almost 52 and am finally learning to live in the moment. The best moments are those with my little ones. And of course Robert. How come I didn't learn this one of the many times that I was told to "live each moment"? I guess you can teach an older dog new tricks.

Yesterday Rob took me on a ride on his bike. We went with some friends and had a great time. It was wonderful to be outside in the fresh air after such a cold winter. I did better this time. I didn't fall getting off the bike! Maybe I will become a biker chick after all. Just don't tell my mom and dad!

Where does time go?

Another week or so has passed. It has been too long since I last posted, so I will change that! My traumatic bump on the head is finally healed. I did end up staying home from work for two days. But, now I can think and talk clearly. Well, as clearly as I have ever been able to. No miracles have happened.

I must be really evil. I found out that another person-a man-had been conked by another set of doors. He was actually knocked out. Somehow that made me feel less klutzy. Both sets of doors are being modified to prevent others from injury. I am glad I contributed to the cause!

Last week was General Conference. It was a very good conference. We attended a solemn assembly to sustain the new prophet. President Thomas S. Monson. Our music was beautiful. Mack was pleased. He has a right to be. He has been stalwart and true. I really enjoy singing with Mack. He is a marvelous teacher. He has such an ear for pitch and flow of the music. He also makes you feel that you are important to the cause. This is something that I have lacked for quite a few years. I think that the choir will be blessed with his new direction.

At work last week a kind of scary, but cool thing happened. I was teaching in one of my weekly classes. The lesson was the life of a butterfly. I had the PowerPoint with video and projector going. Children were using switches to answer questions. I also had the video camera showing the children the live caterpillar. The video camera will project images with a projector. It is easier for the children to see because the objects are magnified. We were also doing some number recognition and counting using an activity in Intellitools. There was a lot going on and everything was working correctly. You never know what will happen with technology! Any way I looked up and saw the vice principal observing with a group of visitors. I didn't pay much attention since our school gets many visitors. Later that day the vice principal told me that the visitors were administrators were professors from West Minister College who wanted to see how technology was used with the severe population. They were excited about using these tools in teaching. They took lots of notes. The vice principal was very pleased. I have to admit. So was I. Not bad for a program I dreamed up!
