18 days-Yes, I'm counting!

Eighteen more DAYS!!!! Eighteen MORE days!!!! EIGHTEEN more days.

Remember (those of you who were there) the communication speaker we had last summer who put the emphasis on each word to change the meaning of the sentence:
I did not say your mother was stupid.

If you were not there just give it a try. Put the emphasis on the red words. Say it out loud!

I did not say your mother was stupid.
I did not say your mother was stupid.
I did not say your mother was stupid.
I did not say your mother was stupid.
I did not say your mother was stupid.
I did not say your mother was stupid.
I did not say your mother was stupid.
I did not say your mother was stupid.

Well, I thought that was a great illustration of communication.
But no matter how you say it,
it is still....EIGHTEEN MORE DAYS!!!!

  2. I wonder if God sees our lives like that. 18 more years! Yeah! It's almost over for her. Just 18 more years and she'll be free to enjoy all the things I have ready for her! I wish I were able to see it like that without fear of leaving loved ones behind. It would make growing older a whole lot easier!!!
    I DO remember the countdown as a teacher. There were days when 18 days seemed like an eternity!
