Life In a Small Town

Sunday, February 20 PEACEFUL DAY It was a nice quiet day. I sang "His Eye Is On The Sparrow" (Sandi Patty's version) in church, then came home and did some cleaning before Molly got home. Maggie and I enjoyed a peaceful afternoon while Greg worked. Monday, February 21 BACK TO LIFE BACK TO REALITY Another day another dollar.... school, tutoring.. and it all begins with breakfast. Tuesday, February 22 NEW EXPERIENCE DAY We get fruit and veggies as a snack at school as part of the "Color Me" grant the USDA gave us. Today's was a big surprise. Starfruit. Once we figured out how to eat it, it was pretty enjoyable. Tasted a lot like green apples. Wednesday, February 23 THE CALL About 9:20am, just as I was starting my Literacy Block (reading groups and literacy centers), I got a message to call my exhusband. Now usually if he calls, he'll say, "tell her it's not an emergency, to call me when she gets a chance". That part of the msg didn't come...

Sunday, February 13 UP ON THE HOUSETOP..... Before going home, the boys were given some outside chores to do. Matthew got to clean gutters, and Trey got to sweep all the sticks and leaves off the top of the roof. Molly wasn't left out either. She got to clean the carport. Then off to take the boys back to their new house. Is it petty and shallow of me to wish their new home was nicer? I mean....it's WAY better than the old run down trailer they were living in for the past lotsa years. But still... sometimes when I think about my childhood home, and all the memories of those years come back, I think about the homes my children will recall when they are grown. How I wish they could've been better. Not that the home I grew up in was extravagant or anything. It wasn't. Just a middle ...

Between having a snow day, and taking off a day..it was a very short/fast week! 37/365 Sunday, February 6, 2011 FOOT RUB HEAVEN Yes, I'm spoiled. My hubby not only OFFERS to rub my feet for me, he warms the lotion, and spends about 30 minutes on each foot! I knew there was a good reason I married him!! 38/365 Monday, February 7, 2011 MY NEWEST ADDICTION Who knew those little green nuts would be so good! I do have to laugh tho... those packages there sell for $2.50 each at our Walmart, for $3.87 at Walmart in Texarkana (the nearest "big city"), and for $6.87 at our Super 1 grocery store here in town! For the exact same package!! Needless to say...I'm stocking up everytime I go to our Walmart! 39/365 Tuesday, February 8, 2011 BUT WAIT...THAT's NOT ALL! Not only does he rub feet.... he fixes the vacuum and then uses it....and today (Sunday)...he not only emptied and reloaded the dishwasher when I wasn't looking...he ran it the second time and emptied it AGAIN!
