I have to say, this year we had actual tornado watches foe the first time and it made me really appreciate my principal and how much she does for our school. She kept coming on the loudspeaker to update us and keep the kids calm. Parents kept driving to the school (this was in the middle of a normal day) to pick up their kids but the MS building is separate from elementary and we couldn't let the kids walk outside to get to the main office, so parents had to then be kept in the office and kept safe, too. It was super crowded. The kids did a great job but some were nervous and one had an anxiety attack from being in the hunkering position so close to other kids for so long (about 30 minutes).<br /><br />As much as I miss Archie, part of me is glad we haven't gotten another bird yet. I get so anxious just thinking about times he may have been scared or confused, and I never want to deal with that again. I'm glad everything turned out okay for you, the kids, the kitties, and Paul!Ali K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15736472530374069410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003023702428993428.post-44126768925231358152016-05-29T11:53:11.375-04:002016-05-29T11:53:11.375-04:00Damn, what a day.

It seems like everything that could go wrong did, except in the end everyone was safe and that's what really matters.<br /><br />I can only imagine how worried you were for Christmas and Jelly. Growing up whenever I would have Hurricane Days off from school and my mom's work was still open she would bring me and the cats to her office! Lots of her coworkers would bring their kids, but no one else brought their pets. Looking back on it now, I'm sure some of her coworkers were probably like. "wtf did this woman really bring her cats to the conference room?" but the answer was YES because they were just as important to her as me! hahaKristinahttp://www.blogaboutrunning.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003023702428993428.post-64647545285484121132016-05-29T10:46:31.867-04:002016-05-29T10:46:31.867-04:00Yes, I read to the end!

Wow, that is scary and I can't believe I didn't remember this tornado stuff happening since I'm not that far away.<br />I have a Hurricane Sandy Story. Yup, driving up from VA Beach with 2 labs in the car, trying to get through the tunnel before it flooded. I'll have to tell you sometime.Fairytales and Fitnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11771224209536216240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003023702428993428.post-19950771195438975872016-05-29T10:40:22.102-04:002016-05-29T10:40:22.102-04:00Crazy story!

We went to every single one for my nephews Trent and Kyle while they were K-5, and now little Trevor (still in preschool) is starting them too! I think my favorite song was when they sang Silent Night and they turned out all the lights in the auditorium but the kids had glow in the dark gloves and performed sign language. I was glad the lights were down because I busted out into the ugly cry. It was beyond beautiful.<br /><br />Wow, that tornado scare would have been awful. I am sure emotions were running high. We have had tornadoes hit Berthoud and Windsor (so very close) and in 2013 we had the flood that wiped out Estes, Lyons, the canyon and parts of the front range.

Lots of trees up on Front Street!<br /><br />We still do night shows. I do an evening chorus concert in Dec. and May. Then every other year we do the "All School Show" which is now only 3rd and 4th grade! I decided it wasn't feasible to do the entire school at once (no room) and WAY TOO MUCH WORK to do two separate shows in the same week.<br /><br />Everyone can be rude/jerks- not just parents!! The only reason I was not mad at the videographer is because I figure at some point I am going to screw up royally and I hope when that happens people aren't mean to me! :)<br /><br />I would want to be near my kid too! Some parents were taking the kids to take them HOME though- in that storm!!! I didn't understand that. It was much safer in the school! Obviously we couldn't stop anyone from leaving. No one got hurt, whew!<br /><br />OMG THAT NIGHT WAS SO STRESSFUL!!! Hopefully I go through the entire rest of my career with nothing near as stressful as that night!Meg Go Runhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11707890742715926971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003023702428993428.post-10249504244623250742016-05-29T07:57:48.351-04:002016-05-29T07:57:48.351-04:00Oh wow !!

We parents can be pretty rude! Sorry you have to put up with jerks !!! I want to think that I complain, but will never take it out on a teacher. You are so much better than me, if my videographer would forget his camera, I would be really mad! I would have been a parent that snuck back into her kids class to be next to him... But I would help the teacher. <br /><br />I think I remember that day! I was at home with my son and my then husband, and I was watching the news, because the weather was being weird... We lived in a house without a basement, and our plan was to hide in the pantry, blocked by the mattress. My son saw us moving the mattress and got really scared, he was barely 2. We lived 1 block from Trindle. But no tornado by us. <br /><br />However, Harrisburg was a mess ! All around our office, lots of trees down, wires down, branches on trees, trees uprooted. I still Have pictures somewhere of all the destruction around our office. <br /><br />Sorry! My comment got really long !! Anahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16110855725544210793noreply@blogger.com
