I’ve got a pumpkin pie in the oven right now and it sure smells good in here!<\/em><\/p>\n

We just ran around the house looking for the lunar eclipse.<\/p>\n

Me: Hon, I don’t mean to sound like an idiot, but where the fuck is the moon?
\nJoe: It could be anywhere!<\/p>\n

Too lazy to actually go outside, we were peeking out various windows but could not find that sneaky moon. There is a lot of cloud cover, so my guess is it’s hiding behind them. Damn!<\/p>\n

Did I ever tell the story of how in high school I got suspended for viewing a solar eclipse? It was my senior year and I didn’t have any science classes. All the people who did, if they had them during fifth period, got to go outside and view the eclipse. I had Honors Algebra, but I wanted to see the eclipse, damnit! So I went slipped outside with a bunch of people between 4th and 5th periods. The funny part was that I was standing directly outside my Algebra class the entire time! I even think a few classmates waved to me. <\/p>\n

Of course, by the time the eclipse was over, 5th period was over half over. What I should have done was hid in the bathroom until the next period. But no, I had to be honest, so I went to the attendance office to get a pass to get into class. When the woman asked me where I had been all that time, I once again told the truth, and that’s when I got in trouble for skipping class. I tried to plead my case, but the bitch was having none of it. I got a three day out-of-school suspension. I was so upset! I mean, I was the good kid! I was in tears walking down the hall when I ran into my Honors English teacher. When I told him what happened, he told me to ignore those idiots and not to feel bad. But of course my mother didn’t agree. She was so pissed at me that I wasn’t allowed to go to the White Sox game I was supposed to attend that weekend. My grandmother thought it was unfair but my mom stuck to her guns. <\/p>\n

When I returned to school and had to explain to my Algebra teacher where I’d been, he didn’t think it was a big deal either. He just shrugged and said, “So what?” Go figure. I may have been embarrassed at first, but now it doesn’t phase me. In fact, I’m happy I got to see the eclipse. To me it was totally worth the trouble I got into because it is one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
