Today is... Tuesday, August 17, 2010

Outside my window...it is pitch black outside, and it's past my bed time!

I am thinking...I am going to have a lot of fun this year with my group of preschoolers I met tonight at open house.

I am thankful...that God opened the doors for me to teach again. I'm thankful that He will show me a way to stay balanced soon. I'm praying!

I am wearing...khaki carpi's and my robe. I started getting ready for bed.

I am remembering...what great neighbors we have. Someone left two watermelons on our porch. So thoughtful and kind. Not to mention yummy!

I am creating...a list of "to do's" for tomorrow's dead day! I'm also NOT doing a whole lot on purpose.

I am going...to start walking with some teachers at school on my off days when I don't run.

I am reading...teacher blogs and trying to catch up with my blog friends! I've missed you.

I am hoping/praying...that the kids and parents will do okay Thursday morning. There were a few shy kids tonight and parents who are leaving their child for the first time. We will see. I'm also praying my boys will have a great year this year in school.

I am hearing...My friend Liz's music on her blog! We have similar taste in music, and I'm fixing to pay her a visit.

On my mind...How I really want to focus on my family tomorrow as much as possible. I've cried a lot lately because I really MISS them. The boys have spent time with grandparents, Aunts and Uncles, and big brother lately. They spent three nights at granny's. That is the longest we have ever left them somewhere.

From the learning rooms...I have a first grader, fourth grader, and a sophomore in college. Wow! I also have a bunch of four year olds who will be making my days...interesting I'm sure.

Pondering these words: "Choice Words" which was a workshop we had at school. Our guest speaker was a wonderful and an amazing writer. She shared a very sad, but touching story of her school experience in special ed. She also shared how important it is to watch our words and tones. Lots of tears were shared. Guess what I asked her? Do you have a blog? I told her she should because she loves to write, is very good at it, loves to take pictures, and could touch many with her story. She assured me that she would send the link if she did.

From the kitchen...is someone who is tired of eating out! Ugh, starting a new job is hard on the home front!

Around the house...is quite a mess. Also for the same reason as no meal plan! I have been gone a lot!

One of my favorite things...knowing I can make a difference for the Glory of God.

A few plans for the rest of the week...try to get some sleep before school starts on Thursday! I told my para pro/aide, Lela, to have a good weekend tonight. I'm that tired!

• My Word Picture... They were so proud of their new hair cuts.
