The last time it snowed…
Mrs. Sweeney was an old school teacher that believed in spanking and smacking with the ruler when a child misbehaved. No one wanted her for a 2nd grade teacher and I got stuck in her class. But the thing is, if you were good, you listened, you were fine, the one’s that misbehaved, the unruly, the ones that had to make a spectacle of themselves, well, they got in trouble. I witnessed, butts being smacked for hanging over the tops of desks, ears being pulled for yelling in class, even experienced standing in the corner. No one wanted Mrs. Sweeney.
The year I got Mrs. Sweeney, it snowed. Not a “melt when it hits the ground” snow, but an “entire playground was covered in white” snow. Mrs. Sweeney was the only teacher that allowed us to play all day in the snow. She said, “you may never experience this again while living here”. And as the others watched out of the windows, we played.
I really hope it snows tomorrow. I hope some other child in the 2nd grade gets to enjoy what I did. I hope another child gets to experience a little miracle.
My computer decided to take a poop
I don’t know what happened but I’m missing about 50 photos. Maybe my computer is having tonsil issues as well. :::sigh:::
Things heard at Target today…
My tonsils are swollen which meant a trip to Target for meds. You’ve seen the people of Walmart, today I heard the people of Target and unfortunately, I was one as well.

About me
I tend to question everything (often getting me into trouble). At times I'll come across a quote that catches my attention, and makes me wonder what the person was thinking about when those words were conceived in their brain and escaped out their mouth. What was the situation the person was in? What was the context to which they were replying? I could research the meanings but sometimes, words are best left for you to interpret their meanings on your own.
