THE DAILY DIVERSION

Today is the big day! My beautiful wife started her career, officially, this morning. By now, she's well into the day, and I'm sure she's doing great! I am very proud of her, and that's the truth. One of the stipulations of our getting married was that she'd get her education. She checked that off last December. I never made any stipulations that she had to have a job, but she wanted to (I think). I think she'll be a great teacher. First off, she loves kids, all of them; even the bad ones, really! Secondly, she loves school. Well, at least being in school and school supplies. All she needed was a reason to be around both all day. Of course, this may all change after a little while of running a classroom, but I doubt it.

I had a crazy dream this morning. I was dreaming that I couldn't wake up. I needed to wake up so that I could tell Adrianne something before she left. In my dream I was yelling at myself to wake up, but it did nothing. I was punching and slapping myself, hoping that would work, but it didn't. Somehow I ended up walking into the bathroom where she was getting ready and telling her "Honey, come wake me up! I can't wake up! Right now I'm sleeping and dreaming about talking to you, so I need you to wake me out of it!". She just looked at me like I'm crazy and told me to leave her alone.

I finally snapped out of my dream when I stopped breathing for a moment. Yeah, that was a lot of fun!

We didn't do too much this weekend. It was hot, hot, hot down here, and really didn't make you want to be outside too much. Also, it was Tennessee Tax Holiday weekend, so all of the shopping centers were nuts. We steered clear of them until yesterday, and they weren't all that bad.

We spent most of Saturday putting the finishing touches on Adrianne's classroom. I hadn't seen it yet, and I never saw the beginning product (well, I did in pictures), but she did an awesome job with the place! I did a couple little things here and there to help her out, but not too much. She put a lot of hard work into making her classroom look great!

Alright, well, I gotta get back to the grind. I've got people waiting on me to show them how to do things. Yeah, it's a riot being a teacher!

By the way, here is my latest installment of "RULES OF THUMB". I know it get old me posting about it on this blog, but Adrianne told me, otherwise, that she'd never find it, so you can blame (or thank) her for that one. I always forget to post it to, and have to come back and edit later on!
