Bill survived. Spewing with broken ribs has gotta hurt. By that afternoon he was out mowing the lawn.
Not one other person in the house has come down with it……yet. There was much rejoicing and dancing.
It is spring break here, which does not mean much, except for the spring part, and even that is in question today as I type this in front of a roaring fire place.
Cory’s science teacher decided that she would send home a project for him to do over SPRING BREAK. Not a small project, but an elaborate project. He must put together a solar system mobile, label everything according to order of size and proximity to the sun. All moons must be present too……like, in EVERY MOON on EVERY PLANET. Styrofoam balls and such have been purchased. We got everything at Hobby Lobby, and left the store $40 poorer.
Gosh, its a good thing that spring break isn’t actually a BREAK!
Ahem.
I realize that this teacher is at home enjoying her break, and we are home, not surfing on the coast as planned, but stressing over Creation. So, since she asked for a solar system, she is getting THE SOLAR SYSTEM FROM HELL. I bought some 3 foot long dowels to suspend the enormous, styrofoam, glow in the dark painted, balls. It will be two tiered, with loooooooong hanging strings attaching the planets.
She is going to be so impressed. Don’t ya think?
Okay, so we will have a bit of fun doing it, but, I have to ask. What kind of sadist would send home a huge project like this over spring break? Does she know what the purpose of spring break is? It is to clear their minds, hence the name BREAK.
Would this post qualify for a rant?
Excuse me while we go explore God’s mind and make a VERY LARGE mobile.
Did I mention it was spring break?
my daughter has a huge sports project for her gym class which is stressing us out… especially since we are not much into sports around here… she has to do a six page reveiw of six different sports… (ie. rules, games, diagrams, pictures) and our printer just ran out of ink…so it is pretty frustrating… what if we HAD gone out of town for the holiday???
Oh my gosh, that sounds even more cruel. What are these teachers thinking?
Good luck with the report.
