Time to catch my breath. For a while there summer was one day after another with nothing of great excitement going on. Then school starts and it's off and running.
Two stories from the week...
#1
I share a bathroom (at school) with two other teachers (kinda cool that we have it pretty much to ourselves). These two other teachers have brought in super soft toilet paper for our use since the building opened last year. I've don't use it...I don't mind the school toilet paper & it's attached to the wall...all I have to do is pull & I have toilet paper. To use their toilet paper I have to grab the roll that is stuffed {and therefore misshapen} between the toilet paper dispenser and the handicapped bar, use two hands to hold it and unroll what I need and then shove it back into it's location. All the while risking dropping the roll on the floor or in the toilet. No thank you. It's just easier and pretty much a one handed job to use the stuff in the dispenser.
The other day before school I was speaking to one of the teachers when the second one came in with a huge pack of their special soft toilet paper. They were all excited & I was like, "I just use the stuff on the wall." They were aghast. One took a roll from the pack & rubbed it on my face to show me how soft it was. They couldn't believe I was ok with the regular stuff.
Fast forward to sixth period.
I go into the bathroom & see their special roll shoved in its usual location AND the roll from inside the dispenser...removed from the dispenser & sitting next to the special roll.
I know one of them did this. There is NO toilet paper in the dispenser. The plastic case is closed & clipped shut. It did NOT just fall out.
seriously.
So I go into the art room...and I glare & the art teacher just looks at me & I take her to the bathroom & point and say, "I know you did this." We are both laughing & her class must think we've gone nuts. She swears it wasn't her...but I know it was.

We {finally} had our first XC meet on {VERY HOT} Thursday. {#1 boy & 5 in the top 10 AND the girls beat Perry & Ridge, only losing to hello-we-finished-1-2-3-4 Memorial} Being that it was very hot & dinner time when I got home, I decided to run around 7:45ish. Around 7:55 I get in the car & head to my spot on Bates Road, where I park & run the sidewalk through town. The gates are coming down at the train track as I cruise down Bates & when I get to the track I see the train is slowing down. {UGH} I have to go about 100 yards to my parking spot past the train track, so I decide to wait & hope the train passes through. I stops with ONE AND A HALF cars left to clear the road. REALLY?!? So I turn around & drive to 528. As I get closer to the track, what do I see? The lights start flashing & those gates come down. Thankfully this one is not stopping. It goes by, the gates go up & we start to drive. The car in front of me gets to the next set of tracks...and the lights start flashing. "OH NO, not again", I think. I hit the gas & pass just as the gates start to come down. SERIOUSLY. The only thing that would have made it worse is if the original train had cleared the road before I got to the church to park. It did make me feel better when the lights were still flashing for that original train still sitting on the tracks. I was beginning to think the trains had it out for me.
And because it's Ohio...we've had super hot days this week. It was in the 90's both Thursday and Friday. We sat at that football game last night & just roasted. Luckily there was a good breeze (blowing in this cold front)...and today it hasn't hit 70. 24 hours and 30 degrees difference. So Ohio.
