Scary Toilet!

The Toilet at the hotel scared me!  It was quick to flush... extremely loud and it had the suction of an airplane toilet.  I literally was afraid if I got too close it would suck my scarf off my neck and blow it out over Switzerland!  I learned to step away and flush as I ran out the bathroom door!  I have no idea why it was so powerful, but it made me wonder what kinds of quest they had had in the past to make them get the super sonic toilet system!

My 4th hour Blessings in disguise (except Micah. He is bad) lol

I have two hours with my 4th hour aides and those are the funniest hours of my day! Although everyone of these boys will work very hard to get the job done... in our more quiet moments I have got to spend some quality time with them.  This is what I have learned:

*Clay is a self proclaimed nerd who still owns a Lego Star Wars watch and wears socks that have caps and bow ties!  He seems to takes his school work very seriously but I know it is only because he doesn't want his sisters to have better grades then he does!  He is also very concerned that I will be taken during the apocalypse and he won't be.

*Micah is a mischievous one with a smirk on his face all the time. He plots against me... I know it! Well I can prove it.  Once after I returned to my office and he had just left, my computer screen was different, my chair was low, my iphone had a new background with a note attached telling me he hopes I found everything he had messed with while I was gone.

 *Ross is a tall curly headed blond boy that would fit right in with the friends on Big Bang theory. I see Sheldon's humor in him.  He always has a funny story about himself or one of his friends.  He dresses like someone in the 70's (or a Goodwill shopper) but always manages to look hip... which makes him a hipster!

*Tanner is my sweet guy that is shocked by what the others say and do. Must have paid a fortune for his smile and is the brother of our currant Miss Oklahoma USA.

*Matthew is the jock.  He is in all the sports and has a very none emergency thing about him.  He moves at his own pace and often shoves all the chairs together and tries to nap!

I am thankful for these crazy aids.  My day is much more pleasant with them in it.

On the OTHER side of the Trees.... there's a lake.

While driving to Fort Worth Texas... I had my friend take pictures of some of the landscape.  Oklahoma has some great scenery!  We were driving by this huge beautiful lake and the sun was shinning on it.  I said... "Tracey!  Get a picture of the lake." So by the time she fumbled around with the camera and took the picture... this is what we got. 

YEAH!  :(

Great shot of the "lake" TRACEY!  Don't quit your day job! lol

Goodnight

Lights are out. Alarm is set. Tucked in for the night and curling up to a romance novel. Going to bed at a decent time for the first time this week.

Parents anniversary

So weird to call my mom and not tell her happy anniversary.  This is the second year, and it just doesn't seem right that this very important date is not being recognized any longer.  We tend to shy away from it.  I know it is hard for my mom, so that is why we probably do that.  But still, I call her just to say hi.  I hope she knows I remember, and that was the real reason for the call.
