Today was a sad day, as it is again Tuesday, and TJ is again gone. I will say it was kinda cool, b/c Bob came to Columbia for a Baptist thing, and he took him back with him. So at least we didn't have to drive for three hours. That was a plus, but it didn't take the sadness out of our hearts of pawning off our child again. It's wierd, every week I can just feel my heart sink a little more at these moments. I can see it in Trey, too. We can't do this much longer.

On the bright side, though, since we had free time, we went to the movies. We saw The Grudge. It was okay. I liked Saw much better, and so did Trey. There were many moments that I was sure something scary should happen, so I went ahead and jumped. Of course, nothing happened then. However, when freaky stuff did happen, I already knew it was coming and wasn't scared. I don't really get the movie, either. I mean, the scary undead dead people, or whatever, would jump at you and scream or something, and their eyes were really big, kinda like cute little kittens (think Puss in Boots in Shrek 2 if you've seen it already), and then the people would die. There were a lot of questions that really didn't get answered, and a lot of details left out that shouldn't have been. Most of the movie didn't make sense to me. They tried to kinda explain, but didn't finish the explanation. I've heard there is going to be a sequel (duh!), and I'm sure I'll watch it out of pure curiosity just to see if they answer anything else. I really just thought it was okay, though. I much preferred Saw.

Oh, one last thought before I go. I had a fun moment today. I saw a student standing in the hall as I was coming back from lunch. He looked really familiar to me, but I was sure that he had not been going to our school. I thought for about two seconds, and it hit me. I went and asked him his name to make sure...and he confirmed my thought. It's funny, too, I was just thinking less than a week ago about the middle school students I student taught a few years ago, and who I thought I might see again at DJJ. There was one kid in particular that I was sure had either already been there, or would be soon. I even told another teacher about him, and we were going to look him up when we got a chance. Guess what....I don't have to look him up now....He'll be in my class tomorrow! Funny, funny stuff...

Okay then, you guys have a wonderful and exciting day! I'm out, and I'll see you tomorrow!
