Here's a joke for you:
Two little boys, ages 8 and 10, are excessively mischievous. They are always getting into trouble and their parents know all about it. If any mischief occurs in their town, the two boys are probably involved.
The boys' mother heard that a preacher in town had been successful in disciplining children, so she asked if he would speak with her boys.
The preacher agreed, but he asked to see them individually. So the mother sent the 8 year old first, in the morning, with the older boy to see the preacher in the afternoon.
The preacher, a huge man with a booming voice, sat the younger boy down and asked him sternly, 'Do you know where God is, son?
The boy's mouth dropped open, but he made no response, sitting there wide-eyed with his mouth hanging open.
So the preacher repeated the question in an even sterner tone, 'Where is God?!'
Again, the boy made no attempt to answer. The preacher raised his voice even more and shook his finger in the boy's face and bellowed, 'Where is God?!'
The boy screamed & bolted from the room, ran directly home & dove into his closet, slamming the door behind him.
When his older brother found him in the closet, he asked, 'What happened?' The younger brother, gasping for breath, replied, 'We are in BIG trouble this time.
'GOD is missing, and they think we did it!'
So, who's ready to end the year in style? What sorts of things do you have in mind for the final month of 2008? Any goals that still need to be reached? Something you haven't tried but said you would? Whatever it is, I wish you luck in achieving it. I do hope that the New Year will bring many more opportunities for better ourselves!
(*24 more days to post lots of pretty Christmas photos :)
Well, 12 more hours and 2008 will be a memory. I can say that it was a very good year with many new opportunities and experiences. I'm especially glad to have "met" so many of you and I look forward to a fresh new year filled with possibilities.
It's a warm day here in Windsor--already 50 degrees! It's nice because it's melting the piles of snow but, it's just a tease because winter is just starting!
Boy, I sure do hate when the weatherperson gets it right! There's a blizzard going on RIGHT NOW! Today is the last day of school and we were hoping to have some fun. I took a few pictures of my kiddies making gingerbread houses yesterday but I was hoping for a fun group picture today. The problem is that the majority of them get bused in and it's looking like a great day for a cancellation.
I'm finishing up my first practicum with my Grade 4's. I've grown so fond of them--they are a great group of kids and it has been so fun to learn with them. I've still got a long way to go (classroom management is EVERYTHING!!!!) but, the assessments I've received from both my associate and advisor were very good so I'm extremely pleased with how things are going.
Does anyone have some time they can spare? I'm swamped with lesson plans and activities and have no time to just sit and think about exercise! All the best intentions have just been swept away with lack of time and some not so great health. My left ear (same side as the sinus that needs to be drained) has been plugged up since Saturday and has been popping constantly all day--it's like being inside a bubble!
