Back and Forth, Back and Forth


I can't believe it's been a week since I was here last! The days have flown by!
I finished up Spring Break alone...no kids. They all wanted to stay with their dad's new fiancee. Which is ok....she's a great girl (and I do say girl...she's only 29.) They love her and her kids, and she adores them...so I can't complain.

The weekend saw me at a baby shower for my sis, and preparing to go back to school.
This week has been crazy there. My aide has been out all week due to the death of her sister so our routine has been interrupted. We've also been "test-prepping" for the state tests next week. And the weather has been back and forth, back and forth, rainy/sunny/rainy/sunny...which always stirs the kids up.
I'm ready for the weekend!

My truck is driving me crazy. Should I fix it, should I trade it in?
Greg says fix it to get more out of it..but what I'm fixing won't be seen in a trade in...but it'll be paid off in December....but it has 101,000 miles on it...
I dunno. I'm back and forth on that as well.

Speaking of Greg..his health has also been up and down. We didn't get to go out for my birthday last Thursday b/c his blood pressure was too close toghether. 135/113.
He was sick in the bed all day that day, and barely making it Friday.
Today....again...153/103.
He came home from work after being there a very short while.

We are suppose to go out this weekend to make up for not going out last weekend. I bet we don't.
I just wish he'd get this under control. Do what he has to do. Let them admit him into the hospital and get the dang pacemaker he needs.
But he won't.
So we go through this often.

The kids will be gone this weekend to their dad's again. Maybe I can get some stuff done for school. I feel behind.
I've got a ton of stuff to do for Junior Auxiliary this month...plus the annual conference at the end of the month, in Franklin, TN, outside of Nashville.

busy busy busy.
as always!

Sometimes I think that ultimatums are needed, but at the same time I understand not giving them.

Personally, I think you should turn the truck in now. I understand you not wanting to have to go through that hassle but why fix it when it will only (more or less) be temporary?

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

Image
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...
