Bursting in Flames

Sorry that i was M.I.A. yesterday. The school that i work for caught on fire and we had to evacuate so i did not get a chance to write and entry yesterday.

Everyone is ok and the school is alright the fire started in the storage area behing the stage and thankfully the sprinkler system turned on and that help countain the fire to just that area. So we stood outside in 80 degree weather for 2 and a half hours with hormonal, crazy, middle schoolers who were freaking out because they thought they were going to die even though they were outside and away from the fire before they sent us home. Yay for getting out of work early. Well kind of us teachers had to come back and get our stuff and blah, blah the whole place smelled of smoke and water and it was just gross.

Oh and before anyone ask no there were no cute fireman, police officers or EMTS. Trust me i checked.

So i went home and just hung out till it was time for me to go to my second job. Today we are back at work and the kids all want to see the "damage" that the fire made and we have to have a "classroom talk" about what happened yesterday.

I have an entry that i have been working on that i am going to try to post on here today.

YIKES!!!! Sorry to hear about the fire. Thank the Lord you're safe and not charred. It's so funny because kids get so excited when things like that happen, even if they are scared crapless at the moment. And they will tell that story for a LOOOOOOOONNNNG time. I still tell stories about things that happened in elementary school and middle school, so I'm sure they will do the same. Or maybe I'm just a dork...yeah, that might be it.

Either way, glad to see you are safe =)
