A Good Deed

First, school is OK. I think that there is a communication problem when the parents know more that is going on with the kindergarten program than the kindergarten teachers, but hey, I just work there! Our numbers in K continue to be lower than everyone else, I have 23 which seems like a lot to me but I fully expect to have more students soon.

I have been really trying to work on the organization of my stuff. There is still one area of counter space that is a horrible mess, but I am able to disguise it with some book filled crates in front of it and unless you have x ray vision, it looks pretty good!

Back to School Night tomorrow. Do you think anyone cares that teacher stayed til 6 to do stuff? I think not.

I was leaving Joanne's and a lady approached me and I thought she was going to ask me for money. Nope, she asked for a ride to the mall, about two long blocks away, her car wouldn't start. I hesitated and was so embarrassed when I blurted out, "You are a stranger!" She was an older lady, at least in her late 60's I think and had a small purse, hardly something that could be hiding a weapon. The minute I said it, I regretted it and then said sure but I needed to move some stuff from the front seat so there would be room for her. She apologized and said just to please drop her off at any store and her daughter would pick her up later. I asked if she lived far and it was not far at all, so I just took her home so she wouldn't have to wander the mall while she waited. How sad that things are so suspicious and we have to think three or four times before we do a stranger a favor. Maybe it is just me and any one of you would have said yes immediately.

Saw John Michael Talbot at St Bruno's. It was wonderful and brought back a lot of memories. Need to find a Mass I like. It all hinges on the music!
