We weren't bleeped out by a tornado warning!!!

Hooray!

Our luck might be changing. As we prepared to see ourselves on TV for the first time ever ("if" the camera adds 10 pounds... I hope it does) tornado warnings also began bleeping out pieces of the news. I laughed and said, "You know that will happen as soon as our piece comes on"... secretly, I was hoping it would so that I wouldn't have to hear my own voice. Alas, we weren't bleeped out and we were on the news- and Aaron was crying, a lot. I think they really liked to show him crying, and I liked it, too- he's soooooo sensitive ;)

I also had to giggle because my friend Jaynee messaged: OMG! Im watching the news right now and I was like… Oh dear lord, please don't put Diana’s story directly after this family whose veteran dad just got murdered during a car jacking and the mom is left home now with her four children, one being a brand new baby and one being a toddler who needs to get to chemotherapy and now they have no dad, no car, and no income.

Right? I can't believe the horrible awful things that happen in this city... in this world. My biggest worry about this fundraiser is that people will look at us and say "You don't need the money" or "You can just get another job" or "F. you. f'ers". or something mean. I don't deal well with negative people who rain on parades-- we know that there are so many people in the world who need so much- and we want to help them all, too (we are teachers after all). That's part of the whole idea here, you help us and we pay it forward!

So we were on the news. Here's to hoping it reached a couple of people... and here's to hoping not too many of my students saw it and will be calling to make fun of me ;)
