It's so easy to forget how much I used to be like some of them. I've also reached a point that I have lived longer since graduating college than I did before graduating high school. Sigh. Still, when I drive by high schools, I thank God that I am not a student there any more.Paul Swendsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11759790121603396564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3801207462566510326.post-86472222758235549542010-02-27T16:01:32.563-08:002010-02-27T16:01:32.563-08:00Susan, thanks for complimenting my picture.

I find that when I use it, they stop in their tracks. I lost mine and think I'm going to break down this weekend now that I seem to be the go-to-girl for gym.

Elementary (especially kindergarten) PE is exhausting because they never listen to me, and I always end up yelling more than I originally intended.<br /><br />And the Silversun Pickups are awesome.Shelley Slyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07981620646634240160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3801207462566510326.post-57185149150312453052010-02-26T13:29:05.367-08:002010-02-26T13:29:05.367-08:00This brings back memories!
