All of my good times are REALLY past tense now because my current existence is rough! I was listening to Apple Music yesterday and my chosen song ended, and this one showed up and it took me totally back to 2015:
I was still teaching back then and I was in my third classroom which was a converted closet off of the cafeteria. We used the cafeteria as a gym for the PE classes. I was still driving, working, and still using a manual wheelchair and I was going to Barwis Methods three times a week at that point.
I heard this song so much working in a middle school just as this movie was about to come out! Mr. Curl played music on Fridays during dodgeball and this song was on so much for the entire day. I also heard this song at Barwis as well! I was still working with Adam back then. It’s fall and it’s after daylight savings time because I would drive home from Barwis and it would be dark as I heard this song.
The Fifty Shades books were hyped way before the movie came out. I’m pretty sure that a bunch of teachers read the books at the same time. That sounds familiar to me. I had the three book set when Sean was playing football. I actually talked with another football mom, Jen, her son was friends with Sean.
I offered the books to her and suggested that she read them by herself. Don’t read them in public. she laughed and I brought the books to her at the next football game.
I brought them to her in a paper bag, similar to Gary in Parenthood. You know, the part where he has his dirty movies in it. Well, I had dirty books!!! She laughed when I gave her the bag and I have never gotten my books back, but that’s okay.
I fell to sleep thinking of this song and all of the memories from that time in 2015. Things were so different back then! I NEVER expected them to be how they are now!
