OK... That is a sizable group. Our church was so small that I am picturing a Sunday school class with about 12 people in a little room in the basement.

LOL! No, it's gigantic...we have tons of classes going on, both at 9am and another batch of classes start at 10:30am. We also have two seperate worships services.

The guy's behavior was totally agressive. I was sitting down and he came and just towered over me. His tone of voice was accusatory and condescending. I don't want him approaching me again. I'll allow an apology...but it better be good...none of this psychological "I'm sorry you got upset" business. Even then, I think the guy's a loon and don't want him around me.

I was upset earlier...now I'm getting mad. Can you tell? ;-)

Well, the boys and I are at my mom's house. Steve has to apply a primer on the floor that has some strong fumes and had to take up the toilet too, to lay the vinyl...so I'm on my mom's cable modem and the boys are happily watching Tom and Jerry on cable TV!

Hmmmm, wonder what good thing she has to eat??

When I was puttering around just now I was thinking about you and your sunday school class, and how you said you have never spoken up before.

This from the creator of the phrase, "Think for yourself you stupid cow!" I am not buyin' it for a minute that you are quiet in class! LOL!

LOL Well, it was the first time in this class! I had one Sunday school teacher in another class at a different church ask (I guess hypothetically) what was so special about Mary, Jesus' mother. Well, I went into a long discourse about how she was descended from David and how that was prophecied in the Old Testement and he scowled at me and said "Mary was not descended from David...it doesn't say that anywhere..."

Needless to say, I didn't stay in that class either.

And then, when I was a kid, I was told that since I didn't give to a certain shifty children's charitable organization, I wasn't a very good Christian. I stood up, bawled the teacher out and walked out. Didn't go back to church for about 10 years and that's the time period "Pam Ivey" showed up as my alter ego! LOL

Steve just got in...spoke with our Sunday school teacher and said he wanted him to tell the guy to stay away from me at all costs.

Just carry your Sting replica to Sunday school.

Oh that would go over well...LOL

Nope, I like working in the library more than anything about this chruch, I'll just and work there during Sunday school. Steve can go to the class alone...he's tough!

Oh...I dunno....bring a sword to church...a few dark and menacing looks...he'd start thinking that he messed in the wrong dog's yard (especially if you have Steve for backup). Don't you think that would be fun?

How was the nap?

I'm still at my mom's house. The boys have played outside and eaten supper and are now enjoying the cable again. I have enjoyed microwave popcorn and Chips Ahoy cookies and feel like I'm in the lap of luxury!

I know, but I got that look alot last year with these types of silly questions...

Just CALL the theater and ask them which movies are showing the TTT trailer. That way, if they give you the look, you won't know it, and they won't know who YOU are anyway!

Then she'll get this silence, as the half brain-dead person on the other end of the line tries to process what she can possibly be talking about. This happens to me frequently and I'm sure the person is standing there blinking stupidly (possibly slack jawed and drooling a little.)

Which reminds me...

We were driving down the road the other day and my three year old Joshua saw a guy just walking along the side of the road. He said "Hey Mom! Look at that moron over there!" I nearly died laughing. I don't know where he gets it!

We had a great day with the Girl Scouts! We took one of the Harbor Cruise boats out to George's Island. On the way out, we saw someone's big deep sea fishing boats sinking in the harbor! We found out on the way back that he had hit a shoal and began taking on water. We saw the tow boat on the way back.

It was just the most gorgeous day for being out on the water in a big boat. It was a little choppy for the smaller ones. Instead of the orienteering thing with the GPS devices, the girls ended up being divided into 9 groups and each had a list of questions about the Island, Fort Warren, and other Harbor Islands that needed to be answered. Each question had a point value, and the group with the most points won. There were also some special things you had to bring to the 'ghosts' in the fort. One of the things we had to do was to bring the 'ghost' of a Confederate prisoner some salt water and some fresh water, then perform the task he gave us. We had to create a song withe name of our group (the Dragonflies) and the name of the Island. We did a song to the tune of "Dixie" with some little dance moves along with it. Our group won best song! The girls were thrilled, and performed it for everyone on the boat trip home!

My achiness has subsided, but I'm thinking of going to bed REALLY early tonight, at least before 11; LOL!
