Crazy

So I have a break from work and thought I would squeeze in a new post because it has been a while. Well my last class was very interesting. They are usually very competitive and it is between a girl and a boy but another girl joined the class that use to be in the class but she moved up. Anyway, this kid Billy always gets all work up over nothing and it is usually not a big deal. Well he hitting the girls books with his book and I told him to stop about four times. Then I tell him that if he doesn't stop is going to have to sit in the corner by himself. So he does it again and I tell him to go sit in the chair and he doesn't. I tell him again to go and sit in the chair, "NO" he says. So I get up and this kid is 12 years old and weighs about 150 pounds so not a little kid. So I physically move him into the chair. I felt like I was at some center for kids that have problems and I had to move him. He was kicking me and trying to go back and sit down so I move him into the directors room and leave him. He gets away from her and comes back into my class and sits down. Then she comes in and talk to him in Korean and tries to calm him down. Then he left with her and came back not really calmed down but a little.
Crazy I did not think that I would be restraining kids working but you know when it calls for duty you got to do what you got to do. Well it is Friday and Maria and I are getting ready for the weekend. They are always need after a long week of work so we might go and check out a museum but not quite sure yet. Sorry I have not gotten pictures up on flickr after last weekend I am going to get those up shortly. Things are good and we bought a futon so when you all come a visit you have a place to crash. It is going to be delivered probably sometime next week so we are excited to have a comfortable place to sit, that is not on the floor. Maria and I are thinking about joining a gym so we will come back to the states lean and mean. We have been using our jump rope that came in our high fiber beer that we bought so it is nice to get a little cartio going. Maria and I are getting really good, I got 174 jump in a row and Maria got around 120. The cavs really feel the burn after a while.
I don't even what to give you a sport update about college football because Oregon just went down and it looks like... well I was going to say something but thought why because someone else is going to loose. Well I love this years season for college football I was tired of seeing two or three teams go undefeated, it makes it more interesting. Pro I am not going to talk because we all know what,... the the Pats are going to win it all. My brother Cole did put the Colts Chargers game on threw skype and it work not great but good enough. NBA has started and like everyone thought Celtic are going to be the team to beat in the east. It not like Boston in hurting for teams to be good at sports, what the heck is going on it must be in the water. Well I guess I better go back and play teacher so for Ethan in South Korean. OUT!

I'm doing this again. For some reason I'm a bit braindead with the password sign in. Oh well. Grandma says HI!! WE sitting in Paulding at the library. Jim is back at the house mowing the leaves. We raked and raked yesterday at the lake so that was a bit out of the question. We also hauled 4 wheelbarrows of rocks to put at the lake shore. Our week on the road has been great but I think we're definitely ready to get home. The wedding, St. Louis with Diane, a stop to see Russ and Helen, seeing Sylvia, and a night with Anna, plus our last night with Mom in Pauling has been full but really good!!!! Now we'll get ready for the week of Thanksgiving. We'll be checking in with you on the webcam!!! I'll let you know for sure when. Will you be having any time off this week? WE saw some snow flurries at the lake, and a huge deer ran by the cottage when I was standing at the car and your dad was coming with the wheelbarrow. It was CRAZY!!! I'm sure thankful no one was in its way. They would have been toast. Well, I better see if this goes this time. Thank you both for being so special and such a blessing to our family. We are forever grateful!!!! Love, MOM/Marcia

Ethan, I just want to say that I think you are beginning to develop an accent that I can hear even in written word. While I understood the situation - too bad about the hefty 12 yr old that needs some reform - I just thought it was really funny that you didn't use pronouns or articles very well. It must be the Korean water!
Anyway, thanks again for the call! I can't believe I was actually in the game getting a call from Korea! It was awesome. I hope to catch you again soon!
