Conversations with Jessie...

As many of you know, Jessie is a recent vegan turned carnivore but is still not sure what members of the animal family she will dine on or which animals belong in what family. Well, I mean....just see below.

Jessie:I just eat fish, chicken and ham. No red meat.
Heather:Jessie, pork is red meat.
Jessie:But they call it "the other white meat."
Bunky:Yeah, but it is still a mammal.
Jessie:Yeah, but so is chicken. Hello.

She's special.

Okay fine, I'll admit it...

..today, on my way home from work, I cried when I heard the Richard Marx hit, "Right Here Waiting For You" on the radio. I miss Grant.

My supervisor kept telling me that today was my lucky day. Maybe she is right. Things did seem to work out in my favor a lot today. Like for example, the pumpkin patch had an opening available on a Friday and portrait day is actually not October 24th when I am going to be gone, rather it is November 20th. (I know what you are thinking. I currently have very serious issues in my life) So like I said, today was my "lucky day."

Well, not really.

Today, one of my students asked me "Teacher can we listen to the ladybug song?" (The one that Grant wrote). I almost started to cry during circle time and had to say no.

So after work I decided to run around the lake to work off some stress and saddness. And on the way there I thought, this was something I always did with Grant. One thing we always did was walk to a small bridge before we began our run and look at the fish that were always in the water. I did just this. I walked to the bridge, I looked down in the water, and all the fish were gone. So I start my run and realize quickly that I am not going to make it anywhere close to all the way around. I started walking less than half way around the two mile path. I guess all my motivation is in Georgia.
