White Powdery Substances

About 1:30 the school goes on lockdown, and the teachers have to lock their doors and no students are allowed to leave the classrooms.

Then at 1:40 all after school activiites are cancelled and students must exit the building immediately. The administrative staff does a full sweep to evacuate all students.

Turns out, on the second floor there was some white substance found. A teacher & student drank from the water bubbler near the white stuff and started to have a reaction and their mouths were burning. They were sent to the hospital. Haz mat was called.

I figured if it wasn't safe for students to remain in the building i was outta there!

Then as i was walking out the vice principal was saying that if hazmat determines it is a toxic substance we might have to be out of the building for 72 HOURS!

woooohoooooyyahhhhhhhh.....this is better than snow! So now i have to watch tv all after noon for breaking news!

A Year in Review

So, I didn't think it was so bad that the last post was September 30....until it was so kindly pointed out by ficemook that it was September 30, 2005. Apparently I missed out on a whole year of my blogging.

Here it goes - a whole year - in one post. Are you ready for this? No I said ARE YOU READY...

September 2005 - June 2006 I get up at 5:30 everyday and go work at an urban high school teaching math...blah blah. I might have had some fun vacations: oh February I went to Colorado and kick butt skiing. It felt great, and surprised my boyfriend at my lightening speed. Fine, maybe not lightening, but I was able to get down the mountain without any major wipeouts. April headed to Texas to visit ma & pa. Back to June 2006 - schools almost out...

June 2006 - in a surprise move the boyfriend asks "Will you marry me?" I think he's kidding and tell him not to mess with my head, then he whips out "the" box "Will you marry me?" YES YES YES YES....June 24, 2006 I am a bridesmaid in my brothers wedding. It feels so much nicer to be standing up there, knowing that I too get to be a bride!!!

July - August 2006 Planning centeral

September 2, 2006 Mike and I are married in El Paso Texas with 12 of our family and friends with us in an amazing intimate ceremony. (agh yah that's right 2 months after the engagement hehe)

September 5, 2006 School starts. yuck...There are not enough teachers for the Freshman class, so the "school" thinks its a good idea to stick me with an Algebra class that is 120 minutes long to kill a period for the Freshman. Gee, thanks...Then there's no other sophomore teacher so my Geometry class has 35 (legal limit 31) hmmm...back to "yuck" and that's about all for school.

October 21, 2006 We have a big party (aka belated reception) and eat lots of lobster and celebrate with all of our friends and family at a local clamshack.

December 24, 2006 HONEYMOON TIME! Yes, most people are making fun of us at this point because we've manage to stretch wedding festivities from September - December...hehe. So we hop on a plane to Costa Rica for an amazing relaxing yet active honeymoon.

January 2007 I'm in the right year! We toasted the year off in Costa Rica at a pool side New Years Eve party, complete with buffet and dancing. And home we flew January 1, 2007.

February 2007 - our latest amazing honeymoon picture! A little bean at 11 weeks old...with a heart beat of 171 beats per minute.

And now your up to date....I asked if you were ready??!
