Mysterious Teaching

Insights behind the perils of being a teacher

Lost in the Great Unknown!

I spent my Christmas break in the frozen wastelands of Nebraska!  It was ZERO! a couple of days.  It was a white Christmas though.  I loved it most of the time.  My sister bought me a smoking hat.  It is one of those hats like they wore in Fargo.  It really helped me a lot.  The hat and the scarf made a huge difference.

HOWEVER...my twin does not have a computer at home.  No email.  No internet.  I was truly locked away from the real world for 2 whole weeks.  Boy did I miss it.  But, I am back.

The first day back at school, I had a flat.  I got it fixed and got home and another flat.  I went to the tire shop and had both rear tires replaced and the next morning I had another flat.  The seal broke and the air leaked out.  I was three hours late for school yesterday.  Thank God for cell phones.  I worried all the way to school this morning. but I got here with 4 tires aired.  I am hoping for the same on the way home.

Anyway, it will be all uphill from now on.  I mean, it really couldn't get much worse than that.  Could it?

I can't even imagine being that cold or having that many flats.  I hit some object in the road the other day on the way to meet my sister to shop and just knew the tire would go flat.  I was shocked that it didn't.  Then, we lost my car in a parking garage the next day.  We kept beeping the horn and following it but couldn't quite locate the car.  We went up and down the different levels until we finally found it.:) At least we got some exercise.

Betty, that losing the car think really made me laugh.  I wonder what people walking by thought when your car beeped and beeped..."Did they do something to set it off?"

We just kept making it beep until we found it.  We would hear it and go towards the noise and then realize that we couldn't hear it anymore.  If we were on some kind of monitoring system, I'm sure people got a big laugh out of it.  We would think the car was up a level, go up, and then realize it must have been down a level.  It was crazy.  Seinfeld has nothing on us.
