Miracle
Jill and I watched the movie "Miracle" tonight. It was so nice to see our team win for a change. No more Red Wings. I probably should have gone to Ann Arbor tonight, but being the weiner that I am, I decided not to. Last night was spent with an old friend whom I adore although I realized that we have absolutely nothing to talk about anymore and have nothing in common. Our conversation was ridiculous and centered around things that happened ages ago. I think I could have had a more thought provoking conversation with myself. We had a nice enough time...went a few places I had never been before.
I had a relatively stressful day on Friday. The day ended with having a siren going off telling us that we needed to take our kids down to the basement because of the storm that hit at about 3:00. Hearing that siren was all one boy needed to go into a complete meltdown and cried and wailed and sobbed. This, in turn, got the rest of the kids in the class worked up, and soon they were convinced that a tornado was coming and that their parents were going to die because they were all outside in their cars waiting for them to come out. All of this happened less than 30 minutes after I got back from the Emergency Room. One little girl in my class fell off the monkey bars and dislocated her elbow. I have never seen a child in that much pain before. So although it's a huge liability, I took her to the ER. My principal didn't want to call 911 and get an ambulance since it wasn't life and death, and her mom wouldn't have been able to get there for a half hour to take her herself. I couldn't take seeing her in so much pain, especially since they would be able to pop it back in so quickly at the hospital. Watching her shake and her teeth chatter because she was in so much pain just broke my heart. I thought that I was going to cry.
Just when I was starting to think that I had finally gotten rid of J, (I hadn't heard from him in three days, an all time record) he left me a message that his father was in intensive care, but he didn't want me to think that he was blowing me off. I appreciate the sentiment, but it's not like he hadn't returned a phone call of mine or something. We aren't anything to each other to worry about blowing each other off. There's not supposed to be any attachment there. I really wished I liked him...what a great guy he'd be. As usual, you don't want what you can get too easily.
