I waxed my friends back for a pool party. I am not kidding it was probably one of the most gratifying things ever. Talk about instant gratification with sound effects. OUGH! OH! OW! YOW! My first time waxing someones back was awesome!
Sometimes I can cook. I used to make the most delicious meals. I mean I had time and I had talent to do it. Now dinners seem to consist of taco’s, bean burro’s, waffles…easy stuff. This was easy and delicious three tomato sauce homemade of course, pesto and parm. YUM. My kids complained. Too many tomatoes.
I went to the Grand Canyon and I saw this in REAL LIFE. In fact I saw the whole herd cross the street AND the BUCK which had an 8 point antler. IT WAS AMAZING! I am still in awe over that day, you should have seen Bright Angel Trail at the Grand Canyon. Before we went to lunch it was sunshiny and bright and then after lunch the WHOLE basin of the canyon was filled with clouds. It was seriously breathtaking. I love this PLANET!
I was giving Ellie a lesson in crossing your eyes. I think she caught my freckles.
Please notice item b. In my grammar book at school. NOT KIDDING.
By the way, a long tailed tit is a bird. Who knew.
This is Ellie deeply engrossed in Piano Practice. WHERE did the harmonica come from. YEESH.
Sometimes I am a BTE
My weekends are VERY exciting. FACE BOMB!
I am sorry but this is just ADORABLE. Notice the extra little picture of Feral Cat. This guy is getting extra credit for sure!
Now for your reading pleasure, this right here is one of the reasons I teach school. I think kids are just amazing. I had to do a dictation test so I made up a sentence that went like this; When I grow up I want to be a ___________________. I can be proactive and reach my goal by___________________________________________________. Here are some of the responses that tickled me pink.
When I grow up I want to be a NASCAR driver. I can be proactive and reach my goal by helping my Mom.
When I grow up I want to be a Casino owner. I can be proactive and reach my goal by doing my homework.
Cholledge is a good place to go to school. (Seriously so cute)
When I grow up I want to be a Scientist I can be proactive and reach my goal by being good.
When I grow up I want to be a Dance Teacher. I can be proactive and reach my goal by helping my family around the house.
When I grow up I want to be an Artist. I can be proactive and reach my goal by helping around the house.
You know, I think these parents must be on to something. I am going to start telling Aydan he will NEVER be a lawyer if he doesn’t start helping around the house and being good.
I am not sure how THIS picture came to be on the back of a Spelling test but I just couldn’t help adding R2D2.
On a serious note, thank you to all of you who have reached out in response to my experience of being bullied. I am in awe of some of your stories of being bullied that have been shared with me and I thank you so much for sharing them. I am grateful for you. We are not alone. We can each do our job to help change this world into a better one. One person, one kind act at a time. I was talking to my friend the other day and we discussed how we just couldn’t understand how people can be so mean. It is such a waste of energy and time. Isn’t it so much better to just be nice? I think it is. Plus, doesn’t it FEEL better? I KNOW it does!
All you need is LOVE.
