Ah, the magic of pregnancy!
As I am feeling much better today, I decided to spend a little time emptying my brain. I seem to be having the reverse of "morning sickness" and the nausea sets in at night!
Yesterday was a typical Wednesday full of business and running about. Usually, Anna has dance class in the morning, and then we enjoy a Wednesday, apres-dance Chik-fil-A date with our good friends. Yesterday, we skipped dance and dates to head up to Archway Programs, the school that I worked at when I first graduated college and where I met Pete, where Shelly and Greg met, and where I made countless friends (it's really too bad it paid so poorly or I would have never left!)!
The school held a memorial service for Greg, who had worked at Archway for at least 10 years. Greg loved his job, loved it, and sometimes, I can't imagine that he doesn't work there anymore, much less that he's gone! The service was so sweet, I know that Shelly was so touched by it. My favorite part was the poems written and read by the students, they were SOOOOOOOO Greg! One kid wrote a poem with a line about "And when the boys walked down the hall Mr. Greg said 'Hello, ladies!', and how Greg used to call him a "kinigget" (Monty Python reference). Another girl wrote about how half the time, she wasn't sure if Greg was being funny or not (his sense of humor could be a little off)! The kids really caught the essence of Greg, and that spoke to me more then anything.
