What's happening

Charlynn's photograph was published in the chinese newspaper. Will keep the paper as momentos. My three students who bravely went up without the others were also published. The group that clinched the first for 4-6 yrs old had 5 of my students. seems like many o my students were rather happy with their achievement. as for those who never turned up, they all claimed parents did not know the way to the place. I rather believe them than believe that their parents did not want them to take part. Principal said to call up parents but I tried calling and guessed what, the parents are not picking up my calls. Frustrated that they did not answer my calls and wasting my time. I ended up buying 3 copies for the kids and guess what the parents really did not bother to buy any newspaper even though they know it will be published on Thursday.

channery and I have been down with flu for the past ew days. WE probably got it from Charlynn. She is getting better but we two are still trying to get well. My backache had recovered after taking the doctor's prescription but now the respiratory system very bad. coughing and I have lots of phlegm. Just hope we will get better soon. weather now lowest 9 and highest 14 deg but very windy so feeling super cold outside. I prepared jumper for boys the night before with their school uniorm but they discarded them on the floor. They really do not know how to take care of themselves.

Yesterday we could not start the car engine as the battery was out. Joe came back early and went to the mechanic. The replcement cost us $150. that's is always the case for old cars. We need to change parts occasionally.

No more meat in the freezer, will see if I can go shopping with kids after school. Stepping out now is super freezing as I am not feeling so well.
