March

There's just something about the changing of the month from February to March that sets my soul afire.
The temps may not change overnight, but I definitely start feeling the spring in the air. Just knowing it's now March makes me feel more alive, more hopeful.
Like everything will be ok.

To Do:
1. set about getting truck fixed.
It died Saturday night in front of Greg's house. Starter or alternator...I dunno. But now I've got to see about getting it towed and worked on. Meanwhile I'm driving the big old tv station suburban. That will be cause for conversation at work today!

2. Delivering the last of the girl scout cookies...and finding a way to pay for the ones that can't be delivered yet. The money is all due Friday..even for the catch up orders which I haven't even gotten yet b/c I haven't turned in all the money from the first order. grrr. I'll have to cover it all up front and hope everyone pays for their orders. That's another $150.

3. The regular weekly stuff..school, tutoring, kids stuff, church stuff.

4. Bunko Bash this Saturday--fundraiser for JA. 80-100 women coming to play Bunko. I'm on the committee so it'll be a hectic week trying to get ready for that.

5. My sister from Phoenix arrives Saturday for a week. Her spring break. She's coming to "set my daddy straight" about his health issues. Good luck there. If she succeeds I think I'll let her talk to Greg next!

yes...just another week...
but at least it's March now!
The month of promise!

I hate car trouble! But you're right--it's March, spring is coming, and everything will be okay. Can you believe all the flowers blooming already?!

So..it's a new year. And I haven't posted here since..umm..May. I have been thinking of deleting this blog..or at least all the entries in it, and starting over. Maybe a school blog. I see tons of cute ones everyday when I'm perusing pinterest. I could do that. maybe. no...probably not. But I might try. This place did not turn out the way I wanted it to. I have my personal "diary" blogs/journals elsewhere. This one is too public for that anymore. I should make it something fun. I don't want to lose it. Erica made it so cute for me. I don't even know how to do that... or, for that matter, delete the entries I have here. I can't find the "dashboard" button that use to be there. hmmmm.. This may take more time than I thought.

Alphabee Thursday: E is for Expectations

Image
Today is Alphabee-Thursday. That means my blog is brought to you by the letter E. is for yep...that's right. Expectations Such a big word. Dictionary.com defines it as Something expected. hmmm....kinda vague, so I looked up "EXPECT": 1.to look forward to; regard as likely to happen; anticipate the occurrence or the coming of 2. to look for with reason or justification: There are certain things I just expect in life: * I expect the light to come on when I flip the switch. * I expect the microwave to pop my popcorn perfectly in about 3 minutes. * I expect whatever I'm plugging into the electrical socket to work when I turn it on. * I expect to be given correct change when paying for a purchase. I also have expectations of people in my life. *I expect people to do what they say they will do *I expect my children to do what I ask of them, when I ask it *I expect kindness instead of rudeness in public *I expect honesty from others. *I expect my dog to jump all over me as...

C is for Crayon

Today is Alphabe-Thursday. That means my blog is brought to you by the letter C...so let's get right down to it. is for ahhh...the simplicity of crayons! An essential tool in my profession, and yet such a vital part of our lives. Crayons have the ability to color our world. They add life to simple drawings, brighten up the darkest of pictures, and create rainbows on rainy days. After completing a writing assignment my students will often ask...."Do we have to draw a picture?" "Of course you do!! And use your crayons!" I will reply. And then the real feelings of their topic show through. Without color, how dull our lives would be. No yellow sunshiny days. No pink cotton candy. No blue skies and green grass. Lollipops would be tasteless and lemonade would be just water. The fashion industry would go bust and movies would not be worth seeing. Crayons add life. They add spirit. And they make me smile. Even tho a wee little piece of one was the bane of my world on M...
