My dad is an artist himself, inspired me in many ways. He’s the reason why I love drawing – and my love for halloween.
My dad on right, doing a halloween project for his school, New Jersey School for the Deaf.
Hey October, I’m so ready to have you here again.
My students know my number one rule in my classroom – the safety rule of being deaf.
Welcome back to another school year.
HELLO MAUREEN HERE GA
HELLO THIS IS YOUR MOTHER. SMILE. GOOD MORNING TO YOU AND I HOPE YOU HAD A GOOD SLEEP SMILE OK REASON WHY I WANTED TO CALL YOU BECAUSE I WANT TO LET YOU KNOW THAT TODAY IS YOUR FATHER’S BIRTHDAY… SMILE. GA
Remember the TTY days? No, better – remember when there weren’t any “smiley face” days? Instead of that, we used the word, “SMILE” often – especially during our TTY conversations. I found this old comic strip about our “SMILE” days…before the “smiley faces” were born. I remember how annoying it was for me…. Was it for you too?
And no, I never had my mom call me to remind me that it was my dad’s birthday.
It’s officially over. My summer ended last night. This morning I woke up by an alarm clock and it was so weird. My husband said I looked like I was waking up at 3 o’clock in the morning. He wasn’t sure if he should laugh at me or feel sorry for me.
Today at work – yes, I made it to work if you must know. It wasn’t that hard – until I was sitting in a full theater room of co-workers, listening to the annual welcome report & presentations. Trying to stay awake – one little soft beep from my iphone. I tried to not take a peek but you can’t help it when you’re sitting there from 8am to 11am. I peeked and this was what I got from my sister. It was about a book on teaching your baby sign language. The best of all – my niece was on the cover. I don’t need to tell you which one – just find the most beautiful blue eyed girl signing “aunt”. I like to think that she was signing about her favorite aunt — me.
Check the book out and you can buy it from amazon.com – Here’s the link: http://www.amazon.com/Knack-Baby-Language-Step-Step/
After getting that email from my sister with this kind of news – everything felt so easy at work today. Yeah, I was very cheerful. Some people must have wondered if I was crazy enough to be excited to be back to work again.
