Well, still waiting for an assignment and still working on the patience thing. I spent my morning planning with the sixth grade teachers and I was sad and excited at the same time. I know that the Lord has something in mind for me and he has a plan so I know that wherever I end up, it will be the right place. I am finding that really easy to say, not so easy to believe sometimes. As it gets closer to the end of the year, 16 days, I am getting more and more eager to begin planning for next year. So, I will just continue swimming, toward what I don't know, and I will hope the waters stay fairly calm.
I was sitting on the couch yesterday watching some sappy movie again. Don't ask why I keep doing this to myself. Anyway, it suddenly occurred to me that my baby will be taking his SENIOR pictures this summer. What? When did that happen? As Slater's baby takes her first steps to becoming a toddler, my baby takes his steps to becoming an adult.
One last thought before I head off to bed. I was cleaning my laundry room when I spotted the box for my back up fire extinguisher. On the box it claims that it is a "multi-purpose" fire extinguisher. What exactly is a multi-purpose fire extinguisher? I always assumed that a fire extinguisher only had one purpose. So, can anyone tell me what, other than putting out fires, a fire extinguisher does? You know what happens when you assume.

Well I think that type of extinguisher means.... you can put out different types of fires. Now, this is something I learned a loooong time ago. Anyways, there are electrical fires, oil fires, and regular ol wood fires... so I think that is what it means. Also, if somebody breaks into your house, you can slam their head with that handy multi purpose fire extinguisher : ) That is probably all it means...
okay, now it is bugging me that I don't know for sure.... okay, I was close:http://www.illinoisfire.com/commercial.shtml
Hee, hee--that slam their head with it idea is extra funny when you are jet-lagged...hee, hee :)
I need one of Paul Bunyan's senior pics when you get 'em!
Funny you mention weird packaging. Filled my cat's food tray the other day and I noticed the cat food bag said,"new great taste!" And I thought how do they know that? Who checks the flavor of cat food? How can they say it's better or worse? My cat licks unmentionable portions of his anatomy does he care what his food tastes like? This line of thought continued along more disturbing lines until finally I just had to stop staring at the cat food bag and move on with my day.
I'm sorry that you still haven't gotten your assignment for next year. I hope that you find out soon! I know the not knowing is REALLY hard. I also know that you'll be great no matter where you end up :) Keep us updated!!
You girls crack me up!
Holly, thanks so much for your comment on my blog and for the prayers! God bless you.
I'll be praying your assignment comes SOON!
As for the fire extinguisher, I like Corrina's idea of it also being handy in the event of a burglar!
