"Neighbors bring food with death and flowers with sickness and little things in between. Boo was our neighbor. He gave us two soap dolls, a broken watch and chain, a pair of good-luck pennies, and our lives. But neighbors give in return. We never put back into the tree what we took out of it: we had given him nothing, and it made me sad."

soapbox alert...
are you kidding? again?
Summer had a substitute AGAIN today. I asked her what they did and she said, "read and play games."
That is not cool. I do believe being a teacher is one of the most important and difficult jobs around, but PLEASE have a lesson plan ready in case you need one!!!
Hunter did too. I went in to read with a kid in the class and saw a bunch of girls doing cartwheels in the middle of class. I just turned around and went home and got on my blog. I don't even want to think about it.
I can't believe that. Jeez. I wonder if the teacher got sick or something at the last minute? It sounds like the regular teacher's fault to me for not giving an IDEA of what they were working on. They ought to just send the kids home at that point (although the all-day babysitting is nice I guess).

Honestly. Found out anything better yet? And look at you making cookies. Thanks, they didn't last long. I love those things.
