Miss you Zaney! R.I.P

Hm, this past week wasn't the best. It was probably the worst week of school so far. I haven't felt good all week. My tonsels are swollen and pink. My tummy hurt last friday through wednesday. Today, Mr. Plowe's praying mantis died. It was so depressing. Mr. Plowe was sad! We had a funeral for her. Her name was Zaney. We picked her up on our last field trip, about 2 months ago. Since then she had 2 egg sacks and became extremely attached to Mr. Plowe, as he did to her. It was adorable. Every morning he took her on a walk around the school on his hand. I held her. Lots of kids held her. She was a great class pet. This morning, Mr. Plowe picked her up, she looked at him, tucked her arms in and bowed her head, then died. Now, she is in a coffin in a grave that we dug for her in the school yard. She has a tombstone. Saying "More than a mantis to me" How adorable! Then we started singing (in a sad tone) "Na na na na, na na na na, HEY HEY HEY good-bye" I swear we were all tearing up. Who knew how much a bug could mean to you? Ah. So we all gave him a big group hug. Then today we had a pep rally. I must say, that didn't make me feel any better. We have a scream off. Of course, 8th grade won because 6th grade doesn't know what to do at the first rally, and 8th grade voices just over power 7th grade. So that made my headache worse. My head was pounding by the end. But I got over it...

Hm.

Chloe said...: Um, Kayla? it's just a green bug. If you cried every time a bug died. You'd be crying multiple times at once and you would ALWAYS be crying.

So baby you my only love; the only love I want is yours. Nobody is going to take me away from you, and I hope it's the same for you. :)

If the person you are talking to doesn't appear to be listening, be patient. It may simply be he has a small piece of fluff in his ear.

Dance as though no one is watching you. Love as though you have never been hurt. Sing as though no one can hear you. Live as though heaven is on earth.

"Right now, you and me here, put together entirely from atoms, sitting on this round rock with a core of liquid iron held down by this force of this trouble you call gravity, all the while spinning around the sun at 67 thousand miles an hour and whizzing through the Milky Way at 600 thousand miles an hour in a universe that very well may be chasing its own tail at the speed of light.. and amidst all this frantic activity, fully cognizant of our own imminent demise-which is a very pretty way of saying we all know we're going to die-we reach out, to one another, sometimes for the sake of vanity, sometimes for reasons you're not old enough to understand yet, but a lot of the time we just reach out, and expect nothing in return. Isn't that strange? Isn't that weird? Isn't that weird enough?" - Martian Child.
