Are you sure it's not the 19th?


I have thought it was June 19th all day today. And I don't know why. And it doesn't really matter. Not a significant day..but it's messed with me all day!

I managed to pay some bills, set up online banking so I can start checking my balance from home, (shoulda done that years ago), clean off my computer desk, haul out all the garbage I'd collected since Monday in cleaning out Molly's room and parts of my room, and then spent the afternoon watching 2 movies and then going to a Crown Club meeting.

How can I be so tired when I haven't really done anything?

The two movies I watched were:

Spinning into Butter:


and Passengers:


I enjoyed Passengers more than the other.

Let's see..what else? nothing really.

I go pick up the kids tomorrow night. They've been going to Bible School in Glenwood this week and have their end of session program tomorrow night. Then the M&Ms will come home with me. Trey is staying there b/c he leaves early Sunday morning for church camp in TN somewhere around Chattanooga I think. It's about a 16 hour bus ride (they chartered a bus for just them.) It's the same place he went last year and he loves it.

Molly leaves Monday morning for a 4 day church camp in Shreveport. It was suppose to be a girls only GA camp outside Little Rock at Camp Paron, but there was a problem with booking, so they are going to this other one instead. No biggie, except that it's a regular church camp, so other churches will have boys with their groups, too. Not just girls. Molly and her friends are not too excited about that. Or so they say. We'll see. I was told that really tho..the only interaction the girls and boys have together is during the chapel services at night and maybe meal time. Classes, recreation time , pool time ...all those are segregated. She'll love it no matter.

Well..that's about it. Life as we know it will pick up again tomorrow with the return of the kids. I hope Maggie's ready!



JuPoThiMo---a month of positive thinking:

1. I always manage to provide for my family, even when things are tough. (actually, God provides for my family...I need to give credit to Him. So I guess I should say, "God allows me to provide for my family, even when things are tough.")

2. I work really hard to not forget others' special days. I do have good intentions, even if I'm late with things.

3. In taking time for myself, to let myself just "chill", I am restoring my energy, giving my mental acuity a chance to recharge, and allowing my physical body to rest. All of these things are good for me.

RYN: It IS a start!!! I'm glad you're going to do that. I got tired of the DVD's too. I like being outdoors and moving my body...maybe not as much as the boot camp instructors like me to move it, but I like being outdoors. It's invigorating in the purest sense of the word.

I'm proud of you too!

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...
