Forgive me for I have sinned

Sinful Story . . .

It was way after 11:00. We needed milk. There were triangular flags strung across the entire parking lot. There were American flags on the roof. I wondered what was going on. What was inside? I moved into the turn lane. James said, "Oh my land, I can't believe we are actually doing this."

Yes, we did it. We went to Wal-mart. Ahhhhhhhhhh . . . . .

We went inside. Got the gallon of milk. Some woman screamed down aisle 11. We made it to the check out stand. I asked the checker what was going on with all the flags. .

"We had our grand re-opening on Wednesday."

I asked, "What's new besides the new paint outside?"

She replied, "They rearranged things and did a new floor."

In other news . . .

Since taking a job at Murray High School, I can't tell you how many times I've been asked about you know who . . . THE David Archuleta. Well, for all of you who have asked, I finally have some news. Apparently, David Archuleta showed up at the fall choir concert on Tuesday night. Here is a compilation of the conversations I had with several students on Wednesday.

Student: "Mrs. Bing did you hear that David Aruchuleta was at the choir concert last night?"

Me: "No I didn't. That's cool. Did he sing?"

Student: "No. He was just there to hear the madrigals sing."

Me: "Did they make a big deal about him."

Student: "No, but a bunch of girls ran around him screaming."

Me: "Why doesn't he go to our school."

Student: "He's home-schooled."

Another student: "He still lives with his parents, though."

Yet Another student: "He doesn't want to cause a scene at our school, so he can't come here anymmore."

Yet again Another student: "He lives down the street from me."

Good Husband

This is my husband. His name is James. Lately he has been very stressed and a bit more like a drug-studying-mutating-ornery-non-sleeping-statue than the nice, relaxed guy I once new. Thank goodness for FALL BREAK! James had Guard Duty over the weekend, so that meant no midnight shifts at the hospital. Now, he's had 2 of 5 days off from school on top of that!! YEAH!!

Yesterday I came home from work and he was trimming trees and bushes around our community property. That was great! Then, I parked my car and came in the house and found it to be spotless. He cleaned the bathrooms, vacuumed, put all my piles of junk on the kitchen table away, and did laundry. He even cut down all of my monster zinnias outside in preparation for cold weather. I told him how nice it looked and he only apologized for not scrubbing the kitchen floor and not replacing the filter in the furnace. Oh well!!!

Thank you very much James. I'm glad you finally get to relax a little!
