Tuesday, June 16th, 2009Go, Raphel, Go!
It’s almost 10 pm on a Monday night. Eyelids are getting too heavy to look at the fluorescent computer screen much longer. Way past my bedtime, especially on a school night (notice fragmented sentences). Nevertheless, my lemongrass ginger tea and I are still perched on the living room couch finding humor in close-up pictures of Raphel playing soccer from last weekend. At the moment she is walking around the house in a tired haze too. Our conversation just went something like this:
Haley: Raphel, I’m putting a picture of you in the blog
Raphel: Blog? Oh, yeah, okay
Haley: Do you have any insightful quotes to include about your game?
Raphel: uuuhmm, “ECC teachers’ community involvement transcends the classroom.” (Then walks off to her room)
Haley: Wow, eloquent, well said. I think I should not be trying to do something requiring brain cells at this time of night. I’m losing it.
Run like the wind Raphel! Transcend the classroom! I am your biggest fan.
Anyway, too bad they lost… and good thing the waves were breaking on the other side of the soccer field (they only THOUGHT we were diligently watching the game!).
