Are you serious?? Snow?? I was totally blindsided by it this morning. I went to work at Hannah House in a turtleneck shirt with a 3/4 length sleeve sweater over the top and slacks. No coat and the sweater didn't even have buttons! I did know that I had a light jacket in the trunk of the car, but I didn't think I would need it. When I sit at my desk, I can look right out the window onto the street. Unfortunately, there is a crack house right across the street - seriously! Hannah House is located in the inner city and when I sit there I can watch all the drug traffic going on. I keep the blinds almost closed so that no one outside can see me. But, this morning?, I look out and it's snowing!! Above is a picture of my kitchen view onto the yard and Sheba walking around. I guess I should pay attention to the news and weather a little bit more. Oh well, I am glad it snowed. Once it's really over for the year, I miss it.
After work I went home and got on the computer. I was able to contact Wade on Skype and we had a wonderful conversation that lasted about 45 minutes. He showed me around his "hootch" and it was great to see him. He has just about everything he needs where he is. The DFAC (the place where he eats) is very close and is open 24 hours a day. So when he wakes up early, early, early, he can go over there and get himself a cup of coffee. They have just about any kind of food that he might want. The only thing he could think of that he may need are hangers and toilet paper! He is getting ready to write his first email message this Friday. When he was in Afghanistan, it would be waiting for me in my inbox when I woke up.
After that I spent the afternoon preparing for my Wednesday night class. Ms. Michelle is gone so I was the "main teacher" tonight. So I was in the skit as well as teaching the lesson. My character in the skit is still caving into peer pressure and wearing what people are trying to convince her is high fashion. The kids are going wild when I walk into the room. So much fun! Then later I taught a lesson on Samson slaying 1,000 Philistines. It was a lesson that the kids got to participate in as well. Those are always the best. Our props included a cowboy hat and a roll of toilet paper. It went very well and I had a blast teaching it. We had about 32 kids tonight. We have way more boys than girls, but if we keep it lively and active they maintain pretty good. Class goes from 6:30 to 8:30 and that wears me out.
Tomorrow morning I have my Beth Moore Bible Study, but I still have 3 days of homework to complete tonight before I go to class tomorrow. So once I post this, I'm off to finish my homework. I think I better go and take care of that.
