Sunday...

Sunday. So bitter sweet. :) Chin up. :) We can do this. :)

Terminator...

Some days, I feel like I'm robo cop, or terminator, or Duracell bunny, or something. I get up at 5:20 a.m. I wake up the girls. I pack lunches, and snacks. Tell the girls to get dressed 3 times, tell them to make their beds 3 times, and tell them to pack their bags 3 times. Then off we go to my mom's. I hug, and kiss them, and pick up my sister. I try to get a hug from my nephew, but he's pretty stingy with the hugs. I drive my sister to work, stop at a store, if needed. Then, off to work. I unlock my classroom door, and the doors of the teachers around me. I'm one of the first people there. I write the agenda on the board, and look over my lesson. Some mornings, I go down, and eat school breakfast; some mornings I have a breakfast bar of some sort. I correct papers. If it's my hall duty, I go in the hall. I teach three class, then my prep. I correct papers. I go to lunch with the other teachers on my team. We talk about our students at lunch. Afterwards, I teach three more hours. Then I stay after school for about an hour, and correct papers. Then I go get the girls. I ask them about their day. (On Tuesdays E. has tennis. On Thursdays S. has daisy's. Some days we go to my mom's and walk after school with my mom, and my sister.) Some days we do an errand or two, the bank, or a store, or the post office. Then I make dinner. The girls, and I put out their clothes for the next day. I ask if they have homework. If necessary, I help them with their home work. We eat dinner together. After dinner, the girls take showers. Then we watch t.v, then read. The girls go to bed pretty early. Then I try to straighten up, pay bills, or correct. Then, I wash my face, brush my teeth, put in my mouth guard, and fall into bed, usually by 11. Then I get up at 5:20 a.m., and do it all over again. It's go, go, go, go. Even Saturday, and Sunday have a schedule, and a routine. I'm exhausted. :) But I love it, and I would not change a thing. I love my girls to the moon and back. We are almost there. It's Thursday. Peace.

TGIF...

Thank God it's Friday. :) !!!

Ah, that special moment...

Ah, that special moment, when you see your daughter (S) after school, and think she might run up to you, and give you a hug, and be so glad to see you. :) And, she says, "what are you doing here?" LOL. So much for those movie moments. :) I don't know about you all, but this lady is tired. Night.

"Be the change"

Ghandi - "Be the change, you'd like to see in the world." // "Let's be the change." :) //

Please pray for me...

Please pray for me, for us, for our financial situation. Thank you.

Church Day...

I love my church, and not for the reasons some might think. I like it for the people that I see while I am there. They are all warm inviting sweet people who I am glad to know. It is very evident that they care about each other, and the world, and it makes me proud to be with them on Sundays. :) // After Church today the girls wanted to look at Toys. LOL. So, we went to a store, and just looked on the toy isles. We bought nothing. It's never too early to get ideas for Santa, I guess. :) // Then we went for a walk outside. A little chilly, but still a great day for a walk. // Then the girls played outside with their cousin. They played football, soccer, and tennis. Sooo cute. // My nephew is potty training right now, and giving his mom a run for her money. That's for sure. // Tonight we did homework, and read together. We read Mo Willems, Elephant, and Piggie book, Let's go for a drive, and the Fancy Nancy, the show must go on. Adorable books. My fourth grader had quite a load of homework. I sort of felt like I was back in school for a minute. // Now, I have to straighten up. Finish the laundry. Put out clothes, and snacks for tomorrow, and if I have any energy at all left over, I need to correct for my students. :) (I could also do dishes, balance my check book, clean some more things. But let's not get carried away. Right?) Have a great week everyone. :)
