Life is never boring even for empty nesters!

OK, I'm taking a cue from you girls who don't always post pictures, so I figure if I have something interesting to say, I can say it without having to 'illustrate' it too! Here goes. Monday started out as a pretty regular day - I went for PT with Lori Ann, and she leaned on my shoulder with her elbow, and I'm really GLAD she did. I'll trade temporary pain for longterm relief! Tuesday I was going to clean the house, but I slept in the chair most of the day, except for the time I thought I might need to 'unload' the breakfast I hadn't eaten.... at least I lost a couple of pounds! Hope I can manage to keep them off....
Here's the really interesting part! Wednesday I subbed at CHS for the choir teacher. It was finals week, so we had 2 one our study periods, one 2 hour test period, lunch, and a final 2 hour test period. Mr. Nelson came through during the first study hour and introduced himself, walked through the room, checked out the practice rooms and left. I thought that might have been routine, but I found out later that it wasn't! In the middle of the first 2-hour test block, one of the administrators came into the room and handed me a pink square of paper with the words "For Your Eyes Only" printed across the top. (I have to admit my first thought was of James Bond, but this was actually reality...) He said not to mention anything to the students yet, but we were in a modified lock-down and no one would be allowed to leave the campus for lunch (it would be lunch time in about an hour). The police were searching for a student who was suspected of being involved in a theft the night before. He was a student at CHS. That's why Mr. Nelson was in the choir room earlier! They were making a sweep of the school to make sure the kid wasn't hiding somewhere in the school!
Well, as it turned out, they got the kid before lunch started. He was at LCHS - which ended up being in a full-fledged lock-down! He had stolen guns, ammo and scopes from a home and the police were tipped off by his parents. There were 12 police cars (both marked and not) at both schools, and when they saw him drive into the parking lot they nabbed him. Yikes! We didn't get the details until lunch time when it was all over. Some of the teachers complained about being left in the dark for so long, and I understand their point, but I was glad I didn't really know what was going on. I'd have been MUCH more nervous! You can read all about it in today's Press!
Oh, yeah, I was at school again today, but all I did was sit through the study times and one test. Ms. Monitz doesn't have a 7th hour class, so I got to leave at 11:45!
My advice? Prayer - don't leave home without it!
