This week began uneventfully, other than standing at the bus stop, taking write-up slips from the bus driver, and 100 times over telling the students to pull their pants up and tuck their shirts in. I want to put that on a continuous loop and just hit the play button as they get off the bus. I had slim classes this week because the juniors were out for testing most of the week.
Thursday evening was normal after school. I was making preparations for Fridays class, that never came due to bad weather. Muscogee County School District cancelled classes today due to the major thunderstorms and tornadoes that occurred last night. About 7 P.M. Thursday night, most all the power was off around Columbus. Tornadoes hit North Columbus, destroying some homes and businesses in the area, even as close as about 1/2 mile from my home and the school.
Many families in the area as well as in Alabama need prayer after the storms and tornadoes from last night. I did get up and go to the school this morning to see if there was any damage to the school, but it was all okay, so I stayed and worked on my industry certification for a few hours. When I left, I came home and enjoyed the sunny afternoon on my motorcycle. I guess I'll do my Fridays class on Monday. Whoopee!!
Hey Tony,
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear that you guys are o.k. Oh yeah, when you get that 'Tuck & Pull' loop together, let me know, I need a copy! HA HA HA!!!
Tony,
ReplyDeleteJust when we think our load is heavy, reality sets in and reminds us how fortunate and blessed we are. Today, I will lift up a prayer for the tornadoe victims in Alabama and Georgia. Please also pray for the baseball team and their families from Ohio whose bus overturned in Atlanta early this morning. Again, we have alot to be thankful for even in the midst of chaos.

WOW! Tony....... first of all, I'm glad you're OK. And I hope any friends or loved ones are OK too. I know it sounds selfish, but as a first year teacher, I was hoping to have at least one snow/ice day this year. I wanted to lay in bed at 5:30am and turn on the TV to see that Cobb County schools were closed and roll over to go back to sleep. But, obviously, this was a much more serious situation. And keep pulling up those pants and tucking in those shirts!
ReplyDeleteMother Nature is the the most humbling thing reminds me of my X can start off wonderful and then turn suddenely leaving distruction and sadness with everything she touches. Will include them as well as those involved in the charter bus wreak yesterday in our prayers.
