The end of summer was unavoidable...but the new year is over a week finished and it is not too bad! I miss Davey like crazy but I am emotionally much more prepared to work this fall compared to last. Last year I think I pouted about working until Christmas at least.
One funny school story...yesterday I was setting up a microscope lab and needed scummy water to see microorganisms in there. We keep an aquarium of algae for such an occasion in the greenhouse which is between two of the other Biology teachers' classrooms. Well, I went in with my beakers and let the door close behind me...this was weird because it is usually propped open. And you guessed it...it locked me out of the school, but in the greenhouse! And class was to start in 15 minutes! I had keys, but they were in the supply room...2 feet away through the door! Brick walls we between me and the classrooms so no one heard me yell! Luckily the greenhouse faces a small parking lot for teachers...but 3 cars went by without noticing me waving for help. Finally a new teacher saw my distress and came to the rescue! What a great way to start the day! LOL
Josh and I are convinced that Davey is the smartest kid alive! He amazes us every day with the things that he has figured out! His bubble gun was out of soap one day. So he unscrewed the container, went to the dog's water bowl, filled it up with water, and screwed it back together. When the TV has something on it that he doesn't want to watch, he brings the remote to us and points to the TV demanding something in his unique language. He uses the drill to "work" on his cars....the list goes on... I am just glad that he can say "YEAH!" and shake his head for no. That solves a lot of communication barriers!
