YA books, swine flu, and MJ

So after I blogged about the swine tag being played at school- it seems we may have a suspected case at the school (will see if they close the school and we start summer already)- Subjected myself to the 2 hours Greys Finale on Thurs- still cried like a baby even though I knew Omalley was the faceless man and the Izzie plotline.
Glad summer and visitors and trips are on the horizon has I have kind of hit a "I want to get home- the novelty of living abroad is over mood". It seems whenever this mood strikes a care package miraculously lands on my doorstep. Yes - my neighbors back home love me- US Weekly , gummy snacks, and enough art supplies to keep these kids rolling through the art work. Spent the morning on the treadmill at the gym watching all of MJ greatest videos. Still have great memories of 5th grade and wearing a MJ and his llama button on my jean jacket.

Other news- we have a dinner/dance with the nursery school parents tonight. (PRAY to god we don't talk about 4 year old education and what they will be doing next year)- That will be the quickest way to get me to drink excessively. We did have Open night at the school on Thursday - the kids loved showing us what they have done- still can't believe CJ and Casey Jane are siblings- CJ wanted to show us EVERY detail of the classroom and everything he does (including minute details like where his gym bag is hung up)- Casey on the other hand just checked out the dressup area and hung out with some older kids. Lastly- I have gone back to the YA (young adult reading section of the bookstore- I think I found the next blockbuster series- 1st of it is "The Knife of Never Letting Go" by Patrick Ness- highly addictive and I am so not embarrassed to be in the teen section awesome book.
