Prom 2008 aka my first school dance since being a teacher

It was so much fun!
That's all.


















Just kidding. It really was so much fun. The kids were great and I got a nice formal dinner out of the deal. Not great pictures but a couple of really special ones. Two of my students dragged (is that a word?) me onto the dance floor with them and made me look like a fool, but who cares? And I got to catch up with some teacher friends that I hardly ever get to see.

It was fun and at the same time I am both ready for the seniors to go and sad for them to go. It is now the count down for their last two weeks. *Sigh*

On another note. C#. Just kidding again. The theme for today's sermon tugged at me about how much I need my shepherd. The shepherd was my mom's most favorite image of Jesus. The hymn "Savior like a Shepherd Lead Us" was sung and/or played at my and my sister's baptisms, my parents wedding, my children's baptism and my mother's funeral. I could have crawled under a pew and wept and been perfectly happy to be invisible today as it was sung right before the offertory. Some things about grief will never diminish, and that song is one of them. I hardly ever miss her - or the hardship in our relationship - or the hardship of her life in general - but music will always make me miss her. And today I do.

Sleeping in ... because of prom!

Can someone give me a WHOOT?
So tonight is prom night and guess who is going!! Can you guess? Well? Well?
You are WRONG! It's not DD. It's me!

This will be my first school dance as a teacher and I'm looking forward to seeing my students all dolled up. I'll be dressed up a bit, too, but not so much as them.

So we take the day off of school because of prom. I don't remember doing that... but let's get real. Why should you have to go to school when you have much more important things to do... like your hair and nails. Sheesh!

Nothing like driving into Buckhead during rush hour :)
Don't worry, I'll post pics!
