Bliss

What a great break this has been. Some presents have been bought. The tree is up and decorated. Movies have been watched. Games, football & basketball have been watched. Sweaters have been worked on. Books have been read. Music listened to. Laundry caught up. House cleaned. Bread baked. Naps taken.

And I have 2 more days!!!!!!

I am happy.
I am tired.
I am home.
I am looking forward to tomorrow.
I have a good book to read.
I have a roof over my head that is mine.
I can sing.
I can hear.
I can walk.
I can love.

And So

it begins.

I have been anticipating and dreading this week since August. I have so many mixed feelings about this week.

I'm going to try to just enjoy and be in the moment and remember to have some quiet time to reflect.

I Forgot!

I just finished "Twlight" and am already into "New Moon". I love a good book. Even more, I love a good series!

Exciting

Alex met before the scouting board of review Tuesday night and was awarded the rank of Eagle Scout! I am so so so proud of him!

One of his letters for the board of review had some misinformation in it. They asked Alex about a trip he was cited as being on and he admitted that he didn't attend that trip, the letter was wrong. The board complimented him on his honesty and integrity. Yeah Alex!!!

Ethan has his first basketball game for middle school tonight. I'm excited to watch him play.

Aidan is plugging along. Hating cursive writing (can't say I blame him) but generally loving life.

50 Days

Yes, Christmas will be here in 50 days. Yikes!

My students and I have been talking about the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday. One of my girls has been sharing what she will do to help her mom cook. She is so cute talking about all the different dishes and how they will be prepared. Also, she told me what she will wear because it gets hot in their kitchen!

We had a great reading lesson today. My students are attentive and trying to improve their reading as fast as they can. I have so much hope for their growth and success.

History

When my dad woke me up on July 20, 1969, he told me that one day, I would be able to tell my grandchildren about the night men walked on the moon.

Tomorrow, I'm taking my children with me to vote. They will be able to tell their grandchildren about the election that began a new chapter in our history.

Good Tired

I had Deadwood practice tonight. We are recording and it's tiring singing some of the songs several times in a row.

But it's a good tired.
