Swine flu

This week will probably be one of the MOST boringest weeks in my life. On Sunday night, unexpectedly we received a call from my school. Dad answered the phone and his first reaction to whomever had called was, "You're kidding me!" At first, I suspected that Stephanie had gotten in another car accident, or a ticket, or someone had died. Who knew that the school was calling to inform us that the Kinnickinnick School District 131 schools would be canceled till further notice. My immediate reaction was the same as my dad, "YOU'RE KIDDING ME RIGHT?!" Well, today time has past slowly but surely. I was bored out of my gored. My mom tried to entertain me by taking me with her to run errands. That was probably the highlight of my day.

After coming home, we got on the website http://www.kinn131.org and read the important letter on the length of cancelling. (Feel free to read it!!) It says that I will have no school for a minimum of 7 days. It also says it could add up to be 14 or more if necessary. This really stinks cuz I had plans for the summer and now we might have to make it up. According to Mike he said he heard in school today that you wouldn't have to make up school if it was cancelled by the Health Department. I wonder if that's true.

Well, we got new mailbox and mom and I were putting up the new numbers when I heard this buzzing noise. I looked to the side and saw this HUGE bumble bee. My immediate reaction was RUN!!! So, I did! I bolted around the yard like crazy. (Luckily no neighbors were out! :] ) Finally it disappeared. Then, we were walking inside when mom heard the bee again. She nearly jumped out of her socks. She did a little type of jump and then I heard it. My first reaction was a jump combined with a quick run/step and a scream. I instantly threw the garbage that was in my hand at the bee and started running towards the house. It was SO funny! I couldn't stop laughing for like 20 minutes.

Anyway, that was pretty much the other highlight of my day. I will be trying to work on the blog with my time off and hopefully I will be back in school soon and not have to do any make up in JUNE!

I hope this is good news (kind of) for you. I heard on the news that school go into the school year with a planned # of days to go over if need be. 5. Since we have already had snow days....the total is still 5, even if you are out the entire 14 days, you will only be held over for 5 days.
