One of those days...

Today is one of those days when you come home and finally get a chance to turn around and breathe for a second.....only to realize you're getting a sore throat! No fair! :^P

However, on a positive note, a writer of one of my fav shows (Eureka) has blog I follow....and he congratulated me on my comment/correct prediction of part of episode #5! I can't help being such a incorrigible sci-fi nut!

Drought relief

I don't think I've ever been so happy to have three grey days in a row and rain for two of them! It has been sad to see our creek so dry and not to hear the frogs or see the turtles any more. I hear "peepers" (frogs) again!!!

Shoes and clothes

I've always hated shopping for clothes and shoes at stores. However, I've had an awesome and easy time with it the last two times, and have had very little luck with my normally successful online shopping. Owww...it's hard to admit that I might someday like shopping! :^P

First Day of School....again!

I wish I could recapture the joy I had when I was a kid of starting school each year....maybe I just need new school supplies! Ahh....the smell of new crayons!

Back to 'Real' Work

Summer is gone for teachers here....

Mmmm...summer vacation.....

For an educator, summer vacation is a rejuvenating time. I never want it to end, but yet I know I'm ready to go back to work. The end of it is definitely bittersweet...

It just doesn't figure...

that the same child who whines about how hot it is out, is the same one who wants to go to the beach/lake and keep being hot! It makes no sense!

Laughter

My daughter is trying very hard to get me to laugh...with things that are funny to an eight-year-old...that are not funny to an adult. What is funny is her frustration at not being able to get me to laugh!! I'm trying quite hard not to laugh at her frustration...heehee!

Hmmm....

How is it that my life has very little 'drama,' but my friends all seem to have it constantly. Is it that I'm boring or just a calm, stable individual? Hmm...
