Noah, the fall-back guy
I've been teaching the Pre-K and Kindergarten class at Church the last Sunday of each month. Actually, this is my second time doing it. Last month, I taught them about the Lost Sheep, then we made little sheep on popsicle sticks. We covered the sheep in cotton balls. They were super, super cute!
This month, well, I didn't prepare anything nearly as cool. We got home Friday evening, and I didn't think about my lesson. Yesterday, I sat down and started trying to figure out what we would discuss. I thought about several different things, but didn't have time to get my crafts put together...so we're going to talk about Noah. Or as I call him, The Fall-Back Guy. Poor Noah...
We're going to color arks, and sing Rise and Shine. And I'm going to have the kids tell ME the story. Maybe I should bring my video camera...LOL
Whenever I teach about Noah, I think back to one of my friends and her son. Her son is named Noah, and when he was 3 or 4 he turned to his friend and said, "Hey Summer! Do you remember when I built the Ark?" Gets me laughing every time!!!

I forgot to clean up the DVR before I left...
I came home to 35 episodes of Judge Judy. I will never, ever find time to watch 35 episodes of Judge Judy...especially since there are two new episodes six days a week.
There was 1% of the DVR left available for recording in the family room; and 5% available left in the Living room. I have so much to get caught up on...that sounds so pathetic.

"Don't you watch the news while you're gone?"
Yesterday, That Dad and I were having a discussion about the rest of our trip. We're going on a boat ride, and That Dad said, "I sure hope they're safer than the Duck Boats!"
I said, "What happened on the Duck Boats?" "What do you mean, 'What happened on the Duck Boats?'? In New York, one crashed into a barge and sank. There were 30 people in the water, and 2 died! Don't you watch the news while you're gone? You probably don't even know about Lindsay Lohan's finger!"
"What about Lindsay Lohan's finger?" I answered. "OH MY GOSH...You don't know about Lindsay Lohan's FINGER?!? Did you know she's going to jail?" "Of course I know that, I do read celebrity news online while I'm here!!"
A few minutes later, this conversation came up. "What's going on in Oakland? It says,'Oakland Riots' are trending on Yahoo right now. What are they rioting about in Oakland?" "You're kidding me...you don't know what's happening in OAKLAND? You really DON'T watch the news, do you?" "No honey, I get my news from the internet. If it's not on facebook, I don't see it!"
You know...it's nice to be oblivious. If something major happened, I would know...but I really, really like not having the news shoved in my face every day. I'll get back to my news life when I get home. But for now, who cares about Lindsay Lohan and her finger!! All I want to know about is K8 Gosslin's botched botox. Have you seen her? She looks like a circus freak. :) I mean, she looks like a bigger circus freak than she normally does.
