My partner is in Boston, the kids will be sleeping soon, and I have no work tomorrow. What to do, what to do.

The boy's principal says "libary". Ack.

In a high school science class, I was taught that there is physical evidence that God stopped the earth for Joshua win a war (cf Joshua 10).

I am now the Treasurer for the Rucker Elementary Parent Club. Look at me, I'm involved in stuff!

I have configured things so that certain of my tweets get posted to my blog. That way, the blog won't be dead for months on end.

Memorial Day

The following essay by SKGP earned her a second place award and a $50 $75 savings bond:

What does Memorial Day mean to you? Memorial Day is an important day to me for many reasons.

Memorial Day is an important holiday to me. To me it means a special day when we celebrate people who sacrificed their lives to protect us. It is a time to love and be thankful for what we have. I think it is a time to show respect, courtesy, and honor to everyone. I am very thankful for all of the soldiers and everything they have done for us. Memorial Day is a day when you celebrate and remember the soldiers who have fought and died to save our country. I hope that lots of people honor all soldiers who are alive today. Memorial Day reminds me of the flag of the USA because it makes me remember what it was like before we were a free county, and I'm glad we are now. I am so glad many soldiers have gone into the Navy, Army, and the Airforce to help all of the people who live in countries where conflicts are going on. I wish that more people were thankful for people who sacrifice their lives for us. I would like to do something to help when I am old enough to show that I really do care. This is a time to be a respectful and a courteous person.

As you can see Memorial day is important to me for many reasons. I hope that lots more people appreciate how brave all of the soldiers are who have risked their lives for us.

Principal Prompt #17 - February 27, 2009

Parents are our first and most important teachers. Describe a time when you learned a valuable lesson from one of your parents or another relative who is important to you.

Have you ever learned a lesson from a important person who is relatied to you? Some people learned writing, reading, or sience. I learned how to do math.  When I was four my dad taught me how to do math.  When I asked what math was he said, "Math is when you use numbers to find the total."  When he printed out math problums on a piece of papper the printer went "ch. ch. ch."  The first kind of math he taught me was adition.  It was hard at first, but as I did more and more I got alot better.  Now math is my favorite and best subject. As you can see your parents teach yo important things.  Now you know about what my dad taught me.
