Back to School

Well, we've been back to school for two days since having a day off for Fay. The weather the past two days has been worse than the day we had off. Oh Well!!! We did not end up going out to Andy's to help get things cleaned up. Their next door neighbor has two teenage boys and they helped Hannah get things cleaned up, plus Andy took off work early too. We had a big happy family at our house Monday night, Tuesday and Wednesday. Right now different areas of the state are under flash flood warnings and Fay is slowly moving back across the state above where we are. I must say we are getting our much needed rain to help alleviate some of the drought.

Back to School --- For 1 day!

Today it was back to work and school.....but now Tropical Storm/Hurricane Fay is giving us an extra day off - maybe two days off. We get to make up the day in October. So -- tonight we will be going out to Andy's to help him get stuff "Storm Safe" at their place and then they will probably come spend time at our house since it looks like the storm will be coming right by them. It has already started raining here. Lord willing, by the time hits land and gets near either of our homes it will just be rain and slight winds instead of strong winds.

Back To School

Well, we went back to school today after an extra long summer. Normally we start back to school the first or second full week of August but last year the Florida Legislature passed a law that starting this year, public schools could not start any earlier than two weeks before Labor Day. Please, Pray for me and my fellow employees at my school. Our Principal projected us as having 450 students this year and we barely made 400 today. If we don't meet projection some of us will have to move to other schools. I work with Special Needs preschool children and we are supposed to have 4 students this year but only 2 showed up today. Even though the school gets more money for students in my class, they probably won't keep the unit open for just 2 or 3 students. I'll keep you all up to date on the situation. On the positive side...Several of the staff members painted the cafeteria over the summer and renamed it the Pine Castle Cafe. We are hoping that by giving the cafeteria a "Restaurant" name the students and staff will treat it as such and behavior will be restaurant behavior.
