Thankful Thirty: Day 6

Day 6 is DAD!  My dad is the first person Tim and I turn to for advice or just talking things through. He has bailed us out more than once and never steers us wrong.

Thankful Thirty: Day 5

Today I'm so very thankful for my mom.  She is always willing to help me with my kids, my house, whatever comes up.  I know this one is short, but I just can't list it all.

Thankful Thirty: 1-4

It seems like everyone I know is posting on Facebook each day what they are thankful for.  It seems to me it's more appropriate for me to do so here. However, I didn't come to this realization until today - Day 4.  So, allow me to backtrack...

Day 1
This was Thursday.  In all honesty, I was most thankful that this was actually my Friday with students.  It sounds really petty when I put it in writing, but it's real. And to celebrate Fridays, I start my mornings with Rebecca Black.

Day 2

I am thankful for the love of my life - Tim.  After 20 years together, he is still the one to make me laugh, not allow me to take myself to seriously, and puts me in my place regularly.

Day 3

God has blessed me with the best two kids in the world.  Cooper's art teacher (Abby's former art teacher) stopped me last week to tell me how very different they are. Yes, they are.  They are both perfectly made. My life would be BORING and dull without them.

Day 4

Today is Sunday and even thought my Father God comes first, I am taking today to focus on the gratitude I have for Him allowing His Son to die because I am a screw up.

Spring Break

Well it's almost over and I can't say that I accomplished a whole lot. I did do some reading, but we stayed on the go for most of the week. On Monday we took Yoda to be altered (fixed). By the time we drove to The Woodlands and back twice, the day was pretty much gone. On Tuesday we went to New Caney to watch the Lady Hornets beat New Caney. We went back on Wednesday to play Porter and then on to Humble to watch the girls get their third win in two days. Yesterday we went to the Bush Library and on to Brenham. Blue Bell was full and no tours were available so we just came on home. Today Abby and I had pedicures and just spent the rest of the day at home. Tomorrow is ball, Abby bowling with a friend, and finally a birthday party.

I better find time to do some grading. Not sure when I'll squeeze that in.

I can't believe it's been a year...

Yes, it's been a year, but my friend Kathryn has inspired me to resurrect this blog.  I've recently been blogging some things related to school, but have decided to try to share family stuff here.

Spring Break finds me acting as Abby's social secretary.  It seems all I have in my calendar are Abby's school meetings, private lessons, practices, games, and plans with her friends.  That's not true.  The other things on my calendar are places Tim has to be.  That's just so I know when not to expect him.

Anyway, I'm blogging some school stuff at educationalhorizons.blogspot.com and more spiritual insights and questions at gloryboundgirls.blogspot.com.  Share as you see fit.  I definitely want to get the school blog out there so that I can get some comments and suggestions for where to go with my class.

I'll do my best to keep this site current, but as it's the third one I'm working on...
