it was just one of those days

i woke up bright and early this morning so i would be on time to meet the carpool group. i can't turn on all the lights in my room when i'm getting ready, because i share a room with hanna banana. she's still sound asleep at that time, so i try to be quiet and get everything done without waking her up.

this morning i found my long kahki school pants, and i decided to wear a green shirt that is slightly billowy but tapers in at the waist and elbows. i also grabbed the nearest jacket, because my classroom is freezing. i can sometimes see my breath in the morning. yes, it's that bad. i ran out the door of my house, sat in my car, and got where i needed to go and taught a full day's worth of classes. during my prep hour, which is the last hour of the day, i was chatting to the principal in her office. i was playing with the top of my shirt with my fingers when I felt something that usually is not in the front. that's right folks - this morning i slipped on my shirt and didn't even notice i had put it on backwards. i had taught 5 classes with it that way, i had chatted to the superintendent, and had a meeting with the principal. i wonder how many of them noticed my inability to dress myself correctly. i also wonder if my jacket covered up my shirt a bit.

it gets better too. i found the closest faculty bathroom and went inside to turn my shirt around. while i was switching the shirt around the door proceeded to open and a lady walked in. i am sure i meant to lock the door, but apparently it really didn't happened that way.

dear brain,

you're welcome to come back to me tomorrow.

thanks,

a

sometimes I need only to stand wherever I am to be blessed..

Dear N, I can't believe we've been married five years, today. We've laughed, played, argued, traveled, worked and become something we couldn't have achieved without each other. There's a primary song that says, "God, gave us families to help us become what he wants us to be." He knew I needed you to 'become' a better me. You're my big dreamer and a lingerer. You're my passionate hobbyist and a sincere do-gooder. You're my tease and a talk-it-through-er. So , " Tell me, what is it you plan to do   with your one wild and precious life? I plan to spend mine with you. Much Love, A (quotes by Mary Oliver)

the middle of somewhere

I was sitting here contemplating what fun/project cowboy will have scheduled for us this weekend. Sigh! The past two weekends, my muscles and patience were tested with digging post holes and building fence. I didn't get to do one thing that I wanted! So, not wanting to think about this weekend's hard work, my mind remembered my blog. I haven't thought of it or looked at it for a good bit. So, here I am! I glanced at my last blog post, which was written almost two years ago. It's crazy to look back and remember where I was and where I ended up today. I called my mom at the beginning of the week, and she was telling me about when she and my dad started dating. They were chuckling while remembering, but that is a moment that needed to happen to get from that point to this point. So, here's to progress - good, bad, ugly, fun, and sad! 1. We bought a house, and it wasn't a moment too soon. The home we purchased was an old home that had...
