Happy Day!

It is a Tuesday and I am blessed to be subbing at Cascade Middle School.  Can I go on and on about how much I adore this school and the students.  I am so blessed.

You know as I deal with Middle School students it just makes me realize how much I adore my own kids - both of them are the best.  As I am struggling with finances I find that I need to reflect more on my blessings and how much I have.  The family is doing great and we have dinner every night and a warm house.  I have clothes to wear and can get my hair cut tomorrow life is not bad.

Reflecting on turning 49 - not so bad.  The family forgot my birthday in the am - but then stepped it up!  I don't think I would have wanted to spend it in a meeting or subbing but you know I got to eat at Sizzler - brought back some great memories from Grandma Hunt.

So what is happening this weekend for us - I am also done painting the ivy and leaves on the craft room walls and then I can move back in and actually start scrapbooking and quilting - I am so excited I may never come out again - come and look for me.  

Tomorrow is pamper me days for my birthday - my first facial and then the hair -ugh cut it all off it is driving me crazy!  Then I have parent teacher conferences at the middle school and again on Thursday - you know it is okay it will be my last ones with Gear Up and I am fine with it - lol - I say that now but probably I will do them again - but maybe not.

Well off to work with more kids and just bask in the love of the Savior!

What a day!

I was very blessed to be subbing in a 4th grade classroom - but boy oh boy am I tired.  They kept me moving - I was pondering about finishing my masters so I could teach elementary - ugh I think I am tooooooooooo old!!!  

I lost it this morning and it was over an issue I really thought I had taken care of it and yet it comes back in my face and I loose it.  Why can't I keep what the Lord has worked me through and remember it and not loose it.  Why oh why can I not get it!!

I am so tired so heading to bed early again!  You know that as I look back at my life I am so blessed with these wonderful kids and husband.  As I sit and stew about our finances or therefore lack of ... Working so much on being better - Lord help me.  

That is it for today!

Life Fasting Face Book

Have you recently tried to not be on Facebook?  If you are as addicted as I am  - it is very very hard...

Pastor Greg challenged us to a 21 day challenge of fasting - hmmm I can not not eat because of the diabetes - need that protein.  But what to give up.  I thought a lot about giving up Diet Pepsi - that would be huge, but then I thought about it more and figured I would drink some other diet drink - so that was not good.  Chocolate - nah too easy.  Facebook kept on popping up and I really did not want to do it but I did.

How much time did I spend playing those silly games?  Well I have been so much more productive at home, and have daily done my devotions.  It is amazing how much calmer I am - I stop to listen to Sarah, because I don't have to worry about my game getting away from me again.  I really need to limit my time when I get back on.

What have I learned?  Relationships - the treasure in heaven is our relationships.  What am I doing to help with the kingdom?  It has really opened my eyes to how I don't listen as well as I need too and what I can do to accomplish that.  

Writing - I love to write and share, so hopefully this will become a habit now that I will write and let it out that way.  

So that is what I am going through.  I would love to hear about your life!
