While I was at the hospital with her, Ralphie was "enjoying" his very first day as a substitute teacher. And with beginner's luck he got stuck with probably the most difficult age - seventh graders.
But he did it and lived to tell about it. He will probably post about it later today, after he brings our son to visit a college here in Connecticut.
Meanwhile Kid Two missed school because was helping out at a health and safety fair for senior citizens. The National Honor Society members were invited to spend the day doing some community service. It got a bit boring, I guess. But they got out of classes!
Last night I made my peace globe, with a little help from the aforementioned son. (See previous post. ) Dear Mimi, founder of the Peace Globe movement, likes it. So I'm happy. She sent me a T-shirt already for my blog (yay!).
Today after my mother gets her eye covering taken off at the doctor's office I am doing a story about a teacher from a local technical high school who is being featured on "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" Sunday night. That should be interesting.
P.S. Enjoy the comic. And have a sparkling day.

Glad to hear your mom's second cataract surgery is now behind her, and you. Can't wait to hear about Ralph's experience as a sub. Glad to hear that he lived to tell about it. Hopefully he will continue to get more and more sub assignments. Those middle schoolers can be really tough!
Hi Lynn, yes middle school is a tough age group. :-)
so happy for your mom and sarge went for his check up yesterday, his eyes are wonderful! and happy for ralph too! woo hoo...
smiles, bee
Wow...Ralph sure deserves a medal for taking on a middle school class as a brand new substitute. I sure can't wait to hear about his "adventure."
And I'm happy to read that your mom's #2 cataract surgery went well and that she's now on the recovery road. I bet you and she are glad she's done with it!
Maybe it's just my imagination but most days seem to be busy lately and then before you know it, the whole year is gone! Gee, that must have been the optimist in me that just typed that line!
Glad to hear that everything went well for your mom and can't wait to read about Ralph's first day as a substitute - with 7th graders no less!
I must have missed Ralph getting a teaching job but I am so very pleased. I am also happy your mom's surgery went well. It is a very easy surgery and the results are so "clear"!!!
Bee: thanks ~ glad to read Sarge had a good result at the eye doctor!
Joan: he does deserve a medal. My mother seems fine, thankfully.
Linda: I agree this year is flying by.
Moosie: Thanks, she seems fine..And as for R, it was just one day!
