were there tornadoes in Oklahoma on THurs...

yes,
actually we had an evening full of extreme winds blowing a fire around west of OKC. it was on the news ALL night long on every channel, as all the tv stations try to outdo each other in the city for first news.
and also tornadoes near the ARkansas border last night. crazy weather for sure. destroying a few homes.
Many houses burned down near Midwest City and choctaw as they fought to contain the fire last night, this morning the news was all about the houses lost both from fire and tornadoes. sheesh.

At work, I made it through today, and my 3rd week of 6th graders now that I think about it. Man oh man, those kids had me hating the career I chose and convinced I'd never be happy being a classroom teacher again (not because it was out of control or anything, just my own perfect expectations of running the classroom sometimes, and it was really just one class not all of 'em), but today was all so better, a few detentions handed out in that one restless class full of IEP kids, and they were better. I ended all classes on a good note, and even had all my grades in the computer, now it's all about getting the absent kids' work turned in blah.
family times this weekend, and singing at the church service for good Friday tonight and again Sunday.
lot's of yardwork tomorrow on Saturday,and volunteering downtown again this week. I'm going to contact a gay couple tomorrow, one of the guys I know from the gym for a while now and we're supposed to hang tomorrow night. had a friend come over last weekend and my throats been sore all week but I'm blaming that on my allergies not my nicely HUNG friend. ;)
