On April 8, North America watched as a rare total eclipse passed overhead. Olney ISD students and teachers took a break from the daily grind to ooh and ahh at the rare occurrence. The next total eclipse for North America is estimated to happen again in 2044, meaning some of these students may be watching the eclipse with their children or students if some go on to become teachers. This was a rare bonding experience for the Olney ISD campus and for a multitude throughout Young County.
“Remember your Creator before the silver cord is loosed”
Lately the baby and I have been engaged in one of those epic battles that two year olds tend to wage with their mothers. She wants to do what she wants to do, and I want her to do what I want her to do. Case in point: we both want her to walk instead of being carried. But I want her to stay close to me, and she wants to run wildly in the direction of something more interesting in the distance. So I hold her and she squirms and cries, and she agrees through tears that if I will only put her feet on the ground, she will stay right beside me. So I, ever hopeful, put her down. Her resolve only lasts for about 45 seconds before she is off again, and then as I’m running behind her making a grab for the back of her tiny sweater, I remember why it’s always better to just bring a stroller.
