Clinton isn't the only one with a street named after himself in Kosova now. George W. Bush Blvd. is a new street in Prishtina. Click here for the article.



It's just strange to me that a country would change the name of a street to be that of another country's president. Do we have streets named after people in America?

ice storm

So Western Massachusetts got hit by a really bad ice storm on Thursday night. Its Saturday night and we are still feeling the effects of it...mainly meaning - NO POWER! Thankfully we have a small generator here, and wood to keep the furnace going...but no electricity to heat up water for a shower or to push the hot air around the house. I am about to go sit in the basement next to the furnace. Its warn down there.

Ok, I will see if I can upload a few pictures. Click on this link to see some pictures. Sorry they are still in raw format and aren't even straightened out yet. That will wait until I have decent internet speed and some power for my computer.

This was a conversation I overheard in my classroom yesterday, between two first graders.

A: You know that day it snowed?
B: Ya.
A: That was God.
B: No, it was magic.
A: Well, God has magic powers.

exhaustion

I definitely don't have the stamina I used to have during college. I remember going for days without sleeping much, now it wears me out. I suppose dealing with children who do not know the meaning of quiet or one person talking at a time helps wear me down also. I had three papers due this week, two of them got turned in. The great thing about grad school is that the professors are all reasonable and know we are all teachers and are flexible in the due date. The problem is that I do not actually have any extra time, as I have a big test next week on a textbook I have hardly opened. Well I am taking tonight off, just relaxing and watching a little TV. I will start back on my paper tomorrow.

I had another story to tell, but I forget it now...too distracted by TV.

My final comment - I love that my grandfather always compliments my cooking.

Sure sign that I am too tired - I have cried twice tonight because of TV. Thats just not right. I need sleep! Goodnight.
