attempted murder charge

so today after school our meeting..we "process" every day after school talk about the kids and why APD has been at our school -they are here at least once during the day. Today our school social worker was telling us about a new student that was coming into our school full time and how nice this young person was and then our principal asked if anyone else had something to add...and another teacher piped up that if he starts talking about the attempted murder charge you need to shut that conversation down very directly and quickly....other than that the new student has been wonderful in my class. Everyone at my table busted out laughing. "Other than that attempted murder charge" its been great...only at my secret school.

Spring has sprung and it is nice! Sun sets around 10 pm and light starts streaming in my windows around 5am -ish. The snow is completely gone -except for the tops of the mountains. Saturday I went for a short drive down to Beluga point and walked around a bit. It was nice. Then I went to a movie with a friend and the sunset was gorgeous. Pinks and purples around the downtown buildings with the mountains behind us and the moon was up and visible. Amazing!

Thinking really seriously about staying here another year. The though of saying goodbye made me re-think my choice to go home. I am wicked close the the McKinney clan that is for sure and the Sherwood gang too; however, I feel there is more for me to do here. Still not 100% either way.

23 School days left...and I can not believe it. It has really gone by so quickly! I will miss my misfits. I was telling them today about an old roommate Monica who used to always add up random things at the grocery store...stuff like this would escape her mouth....50 cents for a pack of gum and lets say they sell 50 packs a day that's 25.00 a day times 365 days that's 9,125. 00 a year. Seriously, every time we went. I don't know if she was just bored or wanted to go into business for herself selling gum, or chips, or bobbypin. Anyway, we were talking Science about Archimedes discovery and how our minds are scientific. We are naturally curious. We also talked about how most of us attempt flying at one time or another. The stories the kids told were cracking me up. One told me that they planted an apple seed in an indoor plant and it grew a little tiny apple tree with little tiny apples that were very delicious. --I was rolling laughing. Another told me one time they jumped off the roof and landed in the basement. These kids oh the joys!! Can't wait to have a few of my own.

Big Sissys

So apparently my family is so less effective at attempting to blog...big sissys....I still love them anyways. Momma promised me she was going to hook up the web cam when she gets here new computer. I hope that this new computer purchase happens soon. I am dying to see baby Daniel and Jake - my nephew with Down Syndrome. He has counted to me over the phone and that was sooo cute.

Spring has sprung here in Alaska and it is NICEY NICE!!!! I am leaning heavily towards staying another year here. I think I have some unfinished business and people that I am supposed to meet and help. It will work out either way.
