Yesterday I received an invitation from Iowa Governor Chet Culver. In two weeks, all the teachers who earned National Board Certification in the last year are going to be honored at a celebration/reception thingie. Cool!
I can invite 3 guests. I'm sure they're thinking husband, kids, etc. sigh. Not cool. I asked my dad if he and my stepmom wanted to go with me. He's going to get back to me.
I want my mom.
I love you.....I'm sorry.
ReplyDeleteNational Certified! Congrats! I'll go with you, but only if Chet wears his flight jacket ;-) Cheer up, at least you guys won today.
ReplyDeleteThanks, guys. Guess I just needed some sympathy. :)
ReplyDeleteFrank, I'll let you know if Chet wore his flight jacket. ;)
He wore that stupid jacket getting off "Iowa 1" at the Boy Scout Camp in Little Sioux for the press conference. Kinda like Bush on the aircraft carrier. What a goof.
ReplyDeleteYou KNOW that Duane and I will be there for you...just say the word, luv!
ReplyDeleteI called my dad again tonight about it, since I have to RSVP and everything. I honestly think he just doesn't understand what a big deal it is. He asked if I wanted to talk to my stepmom about it. When I explained it to her, she was like, "We'd be honored to be there." Would it have killed my dad to say that?!?!?!?! Harumph. Oh well. At least they're going. :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats. What an honor and you deserve it.
ReplyDeleteOh and sometimes parents just don't get it. They still love you, just not always the best at showing it.
Hugs!!!
