Last Day

That's right, tomorrow is my last day as a school-based therapist. I will be doing private practice and a receptionist job (starting next week). I am excited about this change and think that it is very good timing for me. I am very sad about all the kiddos that I will be leaving behind. That will be the hardest thing, even if they are in good hands.

But now, I don't know if I should change the name of my blog. Stuck in School just won't fit anymore. Any suggestions? I would love to hear them. Strange things like "Turkey Toes" keep popping into my head and I can't get something serious. Of course I could always just leave the "Stuck in School" and just pretend like I don't notice.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix

That's right I went to the midnight showing last night with all the other HP nuts. And it was good. They combined a few scenes, but it could have been worse. It was amazing how they did the whole sucked into Voldemort's mind thing.

Now that I have seen the movie--I can't wait for the last book. I am so impatient.

Tubbing in Townsend

This is the second year that I have done this, but basically we rented tubes from the River Rat and for one low price you float down the river and then are bused back, float down the river and bused back... For as long as you want until 5:00pm.

Now I know that it has only happened twice, but it hasn't failed yet, someone will fall at the first set of rapids. This year it was my mom. I went with parents, aunt, and 7 year old cousin. So we thought that we would tie all the rafts together. Not a great idea. It's okay for two rafts to be tied together, but with three or more, you have a middle raft. Mom was in the middle raft and her tube got stuck on a rock. Normally an untethered tube would simply spin around and dislodge itself from the rock and continue downstream. Being a tethered tube and a tethered on two sides tube, it was in a bind. No sooner did mom's tube get caught on the rock than the force of the other tubes flipped it over. I looked back in time to see my mother going feet over face into the water.

So, word to the wise--I would recommend the fun of tubbing in Townsend to anyone. Just don't tether more than two tubes together at a time.

I love alliteration.
