The blossoms blowing from the trees look like snow

It's a bit blowy out there and the white blossoms loosened by the rain have been picked up and it looks like a snow storm --cool.

I'm going to be really brave tomarrow and take a middle school history assignment. We'll see how I survive the day. I've enjoyed going over history with Richard even though I suspect he doesn't really understand when I'm talking about or we're reading about or what the films are about.

A run on the bank is still about people running to him even with a picture, and explanation and memorization of a bank holiday. Two days later he doesn't remember.

Unfortunately, I know how much teaching goes on in a 50 min. class time, then there is an assembly and the good point or bad is they are gone in 50 min and a whole new 5 groups come in.

As I told my 8th graders last year about Harriet Tubman and slavery and WW 2 they really didn't relate untill I whipped out Shindler's List and shocked them into consciousness. By the end they were numb and horrified.

I took a haul of stuff to Goodwill and Back to work a professional womans career closet that helps women get business suits and blouses and shoes to wear to work.

I hate to dump it when it was all on hangers in plastic just back from the dry cleaners. At least I got to say see attached list and include my itemized list on the reciept.

Gas is over $3.08.

I picked my 1st roses of the season today and the freesas are in bloom. They smell so good,

Lacey doesn't seem to have been affected my the pet food scare. She snuggled up to keep my feet warm last night. She gets one treat a day.

I owe a lot in taxes this year for the first time. I shouldn't have sold stock. I need to dump a looser this year. I need more deductions. I am so screwed.
