True Story Tuesday


Ok..so as any of you that read me regularly, or even just a little, probably already know..I got married last week. (I even did a 10 days as Mrs B. entry yesterday, but this blog site wasn't working so I couldn't post it here. :( )
Well...my true story for today happened a week ago, on Memorial Day night, after returing home from my honeymoon.

I was in my livingroom, at our house (still hard to reconcile the fact that "his" house is now "our house") and the phone rings. It's my lovely 10 year old daughter who was staying at her dad's for the week. We are talking about the day's events, and I finally say something to the effect of "I'm fixin to get ready to go to bed."

There comes this long silent pause over the phone...
Daughter: "Are you gonna sleep at Greg's house?"
Me: "well...yeh baby. I am."
Daughter: "You aren't gonna go home and sleep in your bed tonight?"
Me: "well...no. This IS our home now. I'm gonna sleep here."
Daughter: "With Greg? You don't wanna go sleep in your own bed while you still can?" (we were in the process of moving all my stuff over to "Greg's house".)
Me: "ummm..baby....Greg and I are married now. I'm suppose to sleep in his bed with him now."
Daughter: (very disgruntled) "Oh, I just thought you'd wanna sleep in your own bed while you still had the chance!"

oh my...we had a laugh outta that one after hanging up the phone.
She knew we were moving in with him...guess it just hadn't ALL sunk in yet!

So...that's my true story for today.
You gotta good'un? Go link up with Rachel at her place to share it!
I am!

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

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...
