thursday december 7, year 0 (and yes next year will also be the year 0 - i just like it)

hello

how goes it for you all?

for me it is slow and steady and o.k. alternating with annoying.

just still sad about jack. i f..ed my back up a little.... either moving the gigantic tv upstairs or hell who knows i've injured myself rolling over in bed so shit if i know - what i do know however, is that it hurts.

other then that... i am of course as always from now till spring praying for a snow day. pray with me one time will you > "jesus, please let me get that early phone call saying that i can go back to bed, i promise i'll try to be a better person if you do, thank you" lets see what happens.

i cannot believe that christmas is so close. it is ooohhh how would you say ... SICKENING. not a fan of the holiday and all that jazz that accompanies it... i will as always fake the funk for the familys sake. the alabama slammer will not be coming to town (bogus), the semi-normal if not all together too normal, freakishly normal group of extended family we usually hang with x-mas evening will be out of town....so its gonna be pretty bare bones... i remember a christmas not too long ago - maybe a year or 2 when it snowed so bad (really not that bad but a little dramatic acting can go a long way!) that i called my family and said "truly i can't even make it out of the driveway" i got off the phone - into my pajamas and had what might be regaled as THE BEST CHRISTMAS EVER. (note to self beg jesus for a blizzard on christmas).

other then that... i just got a robert goulet cd - just so i can play "the impossible dream" over the p.a. at school... the children need the inspiration of robert goulet... i think.

anyhow i'm running out of time here at the berry so i must be gone. i will bid you good night (not in the dave "the murph" murphy of the harmonica murphy's way)

have cake, be warm and while i'm talkin to jesus later i'll throw in a good word for you all!

amen,

thea
