I have no idea... it did it to me too, but cleared up after a few moments.

leslee did you try to call me lately? I had a number from VA and tried to call back but it was busy. I thought maybe it was a solicitor. I possibly should email you but I'm very selfishly writing my own stories and tales.... I can't keep up everywhere right now.

Teal. A good color to think of thank you

This house is a wreck, I need to flea dip the dog.... it's really stacked up. I did get a few things straightened out, appointments, back to work, that sort of thing. Still tapp tapping my adventures. My wall of words on the adventure shall be posted eventually (at the expense of a clean home) then eventually the photos. I keep sneaking my laptop to work so I can do this, but the kids WILL insist on wanting my attention! A Kindergartner crawled into my lap today, then melted down crying. Ever play Bingo with 16 squirming 5 year olds? Thankfully no runny nose.

I have so many Frank Lloyd Wright things to sort out too. THOSE were super nice to do, visit those sites. I found about 10 of them on this trip. Not to mention seeing houses my own dad designed. Poor daddy.... well he lives on in his homes.

AND my grandson has turned into a hellion. My daughter in law looked exhausted, and said to me the other day "I wanted so much to have a little Stephen".......... I laughed at her and said "Guess what? You got one! hehehe" she's got it good, at least her husband is paying the grocery and rent bills!!!! Sigh.... well no one said parenting was easy! heheeh.

My point being, if I disappear I'm very busy.......... but I think of you often over here leslee, rattling around the site. I wish more people would post and participate. It's sorta slow out on the other Moody newsgroups too, trust me. Facebook is where it's active.... sorta..... blblblblb

I'm sitting here fighting a cold that one of those darling kindergartners gave me. I was healthy all through my vacation too. If they try to crawl in your lap, it just depends.... at that level (and gosh it's the beginning of the year) you let some stuff slide, and the one crawling in my lap finally burst into tears right before lunch. They have no business being full day often, yet there they are because parents work. Go figure.

Professional approach to hugging kids: Yes some of them need hugs. Sideways hugs are all that is allowed in my classroom, no matter who is doing the hugging. I had two 2nd graders sharing a chair today and put the kibosh on that. (Noisy boys with a computer). I've had girls giving lap dances to the boys in High School.... shudder. I tell 'em at that age, I don't care what they do outside my class, just no touching in class.

Sideways hugs only, stay safe yourself... you don't know what the little darlings have been doing at home with their step dad. (Shudder) Since the ones who want to hold hands are usually very sticky, I discourage that. Or tell them "Go wash your hands, I don't HOLD hands, I'm a teacher!"

Poor little spuds.... I agree some of them do really need affection. A kind word and a smile often are more than enough, remember.
