That kind of day.

This morning I walked into work, more specifically the teachers lounge, and saw this written on the board. Apparently this is how our kids feel about finals week.

The PA: Stay off the field, spraying for Unicorns.

Over the announcements we heard "Walden students and faculty please do not go on the north field for the next few days, it is very important you do not".

Then Annette said quite unsure and hesitant of what she was about to say, "Maybe they are spraying for... un...i...corns...". This statement was followed by a very confused look even on Annette's face, and then by an eruption of laughter.

I can't wait to drive through the desert after night fall, maybe sleep on the shoulder and keep the stars all to myself.
