It's Hot - And I'm Mad

Today was Trent's day to celebrate his summer birthday at school. Just before school got out (it was an early day) I went in with juice boxes for him to hand out to classmates. It was SO HOT in his classroom. The poor teachers & kids. I think this is the hottest year that we have been here- and guess what? There is NO air conditioning in UT schools unless you're a year round school or new (that means jr high & H.S. too). Yes, you read me right- no air conditioning. It was a whopping 89 degrees in his class. The poor teacher a 26 year veteran, had a cold compress around her neck. There is a portable swamp cooler & fans (that she paid for with her OWN money)...but yes it's 89 degrees. His teacher told me that a boy in the class had heat exhaustion threw up & had to go home early. I am so MAD. It would be cruel & unusual punishment for prisoners to go without air conditioning~ but teachers & kids- who cares?! Well I do & I am writing to the school board & my legislators today. If you are interested here are some email addresses for you. Just for your information the computer rooms, offices & administrative office have AC- you see they are open year round- YA Right

Obviously I am not running a political blog here & on a lighter note have you seen these...?

I have & I love them.

I love this picture of trent- who looks like he is cherishing this candy bar. By-the-way, they are really good. Truthfully he almost never eats candy, would much rather have an apple. He does love cookies though.
