weekend recap
trips to lubbock never fail to be eventful. my dad and i drove home together thursday afternoon and had a nice little dinner with the fam. right after we all finished eating we heard screeching tires and a loud crash. first thought that entered my mind: it did NOT happen again. my car could not have been run into just sitting on the street for the second time in 5 months.
so the family ran outside, there was a white tahoe in the yard across the street and a maroon blazer gushing gasoline and smoking in the middle of the street. the woman driving the blazer was bleeding from her head, but everyone else was ok. we live in a wonderfully close neighborhood, so of course everyone in a two block radius was outside within minutes. that is, except for the woman who had a tahoe in her yard. she didn't come outside until the ambulance and firetruck had gone and the cars had both been towed. i guess what cued her into the fact that a big accident had happened in her front lawn was when the police officer was fluffing up her grass.
moving on, friday morning i visited lubbock high for the first time since graduation. in one word: weird. the kids are young, most of the teachers i knew are gone, and there are actually teachers close to my age. then i headed over to my old elementary to visit my sister's kindergarten class (she's a teacher, not a student). i could never teach that age. they did so much random crap that made me laugh at the most inappropriate times. example: the kids are all sitting on the carpet waiting to get in line for break. my sister kat: "anyone who pulled their blurt slip today has to sit by me at break." her student austin: "i didn't pull mine today!" kat: "you just did." austin: "no, i haven't pulled it at all!" kat: "you just talked out of turn, go pull it." i seriously had to cover my mouth to keep from laughing. they're just so stinkin cute. but i did gain a completely new level of respect for elementary teachers, they really are saints.
friday i got to hang with my l's (tess and callie). i'll never find friends like my girls from back home.
the family is wonderful as always, and i'm afraid to say it, but i think i may be ready to move back. yeee, never thought i'd feel this way. i'll post pictures later and maybe another story. now i must sleep.
