It's gone.... I think !!

Whatever nasty little bug had a hold on my blog page for the past couple of weeks is finally gone... I think !!
Anywhoo...

I was thinking again today about how sometimes we do things and really don't know why and then sometime later the "why" becomes perfectly clear.... Case in point--
Tuesday afternoon I was at school enjoying the peaceful atmosphere that comes when everyone is on Spring Break (or the weekend or whatever) and you are the only one there...
Actually, Caiti and one of my students from this year was also there with me in my classroom.. I got so prepared and ahead of the game I scared even myself!  We decided that we would go out and walk a mile and a half around the track because it was truly a beautiful day.  For some reason, after about the first 1/2 mile, I was just suddenly really tired and we decided to quit.  The student, Sara, said we had about an hour till she could be dropped off at the place her mom works-which just happens to be our family's eye doctor.  Since we were so close to the house, I brought her with me to introduce her to Dad and Mom and just kill some time.. Within 15 minutes of our arrival, the emergency with Mom started.. I was able to drop Sara off at the eye doctor and still come back to take Dad to follow the ambulance to the ER.  As I was driving, I realized that if we had walked our intended mile and a half, we would never have been at Mom and Dad's in time to help out!  Don't know if I was just "in tune" at that time or what----but it was just one of those instances that make you pause and think !!
