Teacher Training

Today after church there was a teacher training for all the elementry volunteers who will be teaching in our church's learning center. I am one of them. Starting in september I will be doing a even/odd month rotation in the Learning Center. I will be with one other lady and a couple teaching 1st and 2nd graders on the odd months. This will definately be interesting for me, but I'm going to put forth all my effort to help mold these little minds, and hopefully in return I can gain the patience for my future 1st and 2nd graders.

However, I almost didn't make it to church this morning. I had just gotten onto the interstate to head to Ruston when I notice that my van felt like it was riding funny. I was already going to be a few minutes late so I didn't pay any mind to the feeling, but I was thinking about telling Nick that I needed to replace my front tires. While in the midst of thinking about my tires, my front drivers side tire just fell apart. I had a flashback to a couple of months ago when my back driver side tire did the same thing. Thankfully, I was able to keep control and pull over to the side of the road. I got out and assessed the damage and called Nick. He was working and wasn't able to come out there right away. I thought I would change out the tire myself but a wonderful couple felt sorry for me and came to my rescue. They were on their way to Ruston from Homer to mow their daughters lawn who went to Tech. The wife saw me and made her husband turn around because she would want someone to help her daughters. When he got my spare put on Nick showed up. Lucky Nick didn't have to change out my tire.

I am definately going to the Firestone shop this time. Because they really owe me 4 new tires and they need to fix the damage the tires did to my van. It's pretty bad. I just pray that Firestone will recognize the fault is theirs and take responsibilty otherwise they will have to deal with Nick. LOL and they don't want that.

But we made it to church and then we made it home safely.
