You Know You are Getting Old When.....

Ok, so for those of your that don't know, I am teaching at Tupelo High School now. We just moved back to North Mississippi last year, and it is amazing how some things NEVER change.

Anyway, I am teaching 9th grade Accelerated Biology, and as you would expect, before the school year actually started, parents were walking down the hall an checking out the buildings. Well, it just so happened that I was working in my room and I heard these voices in the hall......I knew I recognized them, but really couldn't remember where I knew them from.

They stopped by my room and introduced themselves..., "Hi, you are going to be my daughter's biology teacher", he said. "This is Megan and I am her father Tom".....and then it HIT ME LIKE A TON OF BRICKS. It was Tom Campbell, from KZ 103.

When I figured it out, we started talking about the senior party at my house (he DJ'd for those of you who don't remember) and his daughter started talking about it as if she had been there with us. Tom said he had told his daughter all about the party and the pizza. He wasn't even married when I had that party and now, I am teaching his daughter!!!! Crazy world isn't it.......but it does make you realize that TIME FLIES!!!!!

Update on Me by Tony Sagraves ;P

Some of you know I have been in the hospital- in ICU of the Myelosuppresion unit of Baptist East. I was admitted through the ER on Sunday (6/17 Father's Day). I woke unable to go to the bathroom that morning. Anyway after about 13 hours of severe pain and multiple catheters they finally got me a room. Once my doctor got a look at me he called surgery RIGHT THEN. They went in my bladder and removed 1 liter of clots. After that surgery I felt like a million bucks, but by Wednesday I began to hurt again and yep it was the clots. By Friday the pain was so bad that I was ready to just roll over and give up. Well i refuse to do that - so the doctor came in, took one look at me, and 2 hours later I was in surgery AGAIN. So how long will I be in the hospital? I have no idea. I will try to keep you guys informed. Both my doctors told my mother that I had till around Christmas to live. I personally think they can stuff it I ain't going no where.
