thought....

REALLY! I am alive...

I have just been hiding out, doing things I shouldn't be doing, thinking things I shouldn't be thinking, spending what I really shouldn't be spending...

I read this thought the other day on steelestrong.blogspot.com, this young lady AMAZES me, she is strong in all she is going through & this mind provoking thought was just what I needed to read, it now hangs on the bottom of my computer screen, so I see it all day long (okay when I am sitting here doing what I SHOULD be doing!)

"Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it." Groucho Marx

Thats, all, said, done -- REALLY!!!

mid-waist pants

I mean really??!!

what is up with pants that only cover 1/2 of your butt crack??

I MISS jeans that actually fit my huge hinny...I HAD to go buy new pants, I had no choice, I had holes in all the rest of them, so there I am at the mall, looking, digging, really wanting pants that would fit & not cause a breeze down my backside everytime I bend over....but NO such luck, couldn't find them, so now everytime I sit down I am certain that my pants are falling down & everyone in the state is screaming in their minds "please say NO to that crack!!!"

I mean REALLY???

parent teacher conferences

PARENT TEACHER CONFERENCES.....
I love them....
I already know how great my children are....
but it feels good to hear it from time to time....

They are all doing great in school, they have improved in different areas so far this year, I am SO happy about that, they amaze me every day with what they are able to learn & remember! I find out every day that I am not smarter than my first, fourth & sixth graders, which makes me glad!! I want my children to be smart!!

I am happy they enjoy school, get along with others, play fair & are kind & respectful in class!! I just need a certain young person to NOT take after me, I need this certain young one to NOT talk so much, this youngster is a grade A certified chatter box & while I LOVE that one of my children has some of what I consider my BEST genes, it just needs to be controlled in school, shhh no talking!!!

I mean REALLY!! :)

Really!!?? Am I back??

Okay, I am not sure about this....
I am not sure I am ready to put myself out there again....
Out there where people can come, visit, read & KNOW what is going on in my mind...
I am not sure I want to be 'accessible' for people to comment on what they think about what I think....
I am not sure I want to devote so much time to a blog....
But Daddy B. wants me to do this, hmmm maybe I should teach HIM how to do this....

So I was reading my most FAVORITE blog in the world today & I read the following statement: "I hope I have done some good in the world today"
It got me thinking about what good I have done in the world today....I could give you some of my "REALLY" answers, but instead I want to answer this one person.....

I drove up after having a difficult day teaching to find a note on my door, I really just thought it was an invite to something in the ward or neighborhood, so Brother B. went & got it for me...imagine my surprise when I saw it was a delivery card telling me I had a flower arrangement waiting for me at the neighbors house!! I thought "how kind of Daddy B. to realize I needed a cheer up today, my yelling must have REALLY worked" (insert smile)...when to my utmost surprise I found out they were from you & you reminded me of the greenery I sent you a while back -I actually forgot about that day- and it was just what I needed today!!
So to answer your statement, have you done some good in the world today, just know that you REALLY did good in mine!!
Thanks to my kindred spirit & friend, Amy....

Okay, now I REALLY have to go to bed.....
