Hugs and Happiness!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Truth be told, I was scared about today. Nothing has been going right for me for awhile, and today started that way, but I've already forgotten about that. I don't care anymore, in fact!

You see, my sophomore speech kids got straight I's on thier improv at the state contest! They came up and gave me a huge hug and we each had a huge smile on our face. I think the parents were just as happy--they were joking around with us about making it to All-State. Maybe we will, maybe we won't. But, heck, we gave it our all and had fun doing it! They're still sophomores, if they don't make All-State we still have two (er--maybe one for me) years to get there! Ah! This is so great! I'm so happy!
