Close Up of Our Scaly Pet

I was asleep for the majority of the morning while Leigh was wide awake. I finally woke up at 11:00 a.m. still with a stuffy nose, horrid cough, and a feeling as though any ounce of energy from my body was depleted and nonrenewable. BLAH! I vegetated on the couch while Leigh was working on the vehicle outside. We finally went out for a bit in the late afternoon, and we got this new pet before visiting Mom. We visited Mom for a short while since she was very tired and falling asleep.


Once we got home, Leigh worked on this project, and somehow I got involved with it as well---until I got the camera out and started going camera crazy. Then I got yelled at for taking TOO many pictures of the fish. So I was banned from taking anymore photos of the blue Betta. Geesh!

BETO RAMON

Friday was a topsy-turvy type of day since our schedules at school were changed, and we kept our homeroom class with us all day long. We made Mother's Day cards, and then at 1:00, we congregated in the air-conditioned gymnasium. Our school had a Mother's Day celebration, which included a visit from Beto Ramon, a famous songwriter who sang a multitude of his Tejano songs to the audience of parents, students, and teachers for a full hour. He sang songs in both English and Spanish. I found an article on Mr. Ramon. (See:http://lmtonline.com/news/archive/0328/pagea1.pdf

Afterwards, the children and their parents chose books at the RIF (READING IS FUNDAMENTAL) BOOK FAIR, and the children read to their parents. Then the day ended, and the workweek was once again, over.
