Hump Day Happenings



I woke up in a feral mood this morning. I don't know why. Nothing happened. I didn't dream anything that made me mad (that I know of)..but I just wasn't "good" when I woke up.
Then, the sky was cloudy and I knew we wouldn't be able to go to the pool, and that made my mood worse.
I knew then, that if I had to stay in the house all day with my kids, and they started fussing with each other...there was gonna be bloodshed.
We had to get out.

So...we did.
We headed to Texarkana to the movies.
Molly and I saw "UP", and the boys saw the Terminator movie.
They loved it.
Molly loved Up.
I thought it was fine..not as great as I'd been led to believe by reviews and friends. But ok.

We came home, I laid down for a bit...having Disney Therapy did help my mood somewhat.
Got up a bit later and made dinner for Molly's night. She wanted hamburger helper...big surprise!
Then...about 7pm....I headed over to Greg's, sans kids, sans puppy..and we had a grownups night.
It was nice and quiet..no kids fussing, no puppy to keep an eye on. Watched tv and ordered in from Amigo Juan's.

Came home about 10:30, washed some blonde back into my hair, and am about to go to bed so I'll be ready to get up and be at school by 8am in the morning for 2 days of Literacy Curriculum planning.

So..that's me.
How was your hump day?

A month of positive thinking

1. I was told today that I was "the most photogenic non-celebrity" someone had ever seen. I guess I do take pretty good pictures.

2. I didn't yell at my kids today. I wanted to...but I didn't. Even when one was crying in her room and whining over the fact that I didn't give in and take her to McDonald's. I held my cool and just let her do her thing.

3. I am loved deeply. Maybe not in the way I always envisione dI woudl be...but it's pretty great none-the-less.

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...
