. . . today! That's probably my most favorite Winnie the Pooh song ever! Just fyi - in case you were wondering.
And it is so windy outside. I can't believe all the sounds that are surrounding our house right now. I hope it quits before night time because I could see it being pretty scary late at night. Yes - I am 24 and still afraid of the dark. Oh well, what are you going to do?
So, see if this has ever happened to you. I haven't felt really good the past two days and last night I felt like I slept so good - definitely a sign that something is going on. Well, I woke up this morning to Karl checking his phone and saying - it's 7:30!!! OMG! Talk about a mad dash going on! I called one of our aides and asked her to watch my kids for me while I was frantically getting ready. As we were running around I thought to myself Karl never checks his phone at night. So I asked him, "Why did you check your phone like that?" He said that he checked it earlier at one point when I had rolled over and woken him up and it was 5:35 - well, that is what time my alarm was set for!!!!! Ahh! So I definitely turned my alarm off this morning - doh! Thankfully I have some great co-workers that helped me out. I got Karl to work by 8 and I was at work at 8:15 - I am so thankful to have my conference first thing in the morning!
Talk about a crazy beginning to your day! But like I was saying - not feeling 100%. I can't tell if my body is fighting something off or if I am just tired. All I do know is that this mac'n'cheese is delicious! It's the simple things, really!
Well, November is here, in case you didn't know. I feel like it just snuck up on me this year! I mean, it was just August a few days ago - right?!? Well, it is definitely November now - 44 days until I graduate! Less than two months until my mom & step-dad move here! 48 days until our California Christmas! So much to be thankful for!
In class today we talked about things we are thankful for. We created a list of things that we were thankful for as a group to begin talking about more in the upcoming days and eventually we'll be writing letters to people we are thankful for. So, I figure I should get into the "thankful" spirit and think about those things that I am thankful for. How about I do one each day? Fair enough? Ok, here we go.
1. Freedom. I am so thankful for the freedoms that we have in America that we so many times take for granted. I try to remind my students often that many of the things that we have are not so freely given in other places around the world. Especially when I talk to them about what they want to be when they grow up! It's so great that they just "assume" that everyone has choices - that is why America is so great! I am thankful for the sacrifice of many before me, both on the battlefield and in the political arena. For those people who sacrificed for the sake of all - that is something truly to be thankful for!
2. Redemption. I am so thankful for the life that was slain for me. For his precious blood that poured out for me, just so that I could live with Him for all eternity. I know that I have a lot more growing to do, but I am just so thankful for His gift for me and that He has given it so freely, to all if we would just believe. What a precious gift!
Well according to our "Countdown Turkeys" at school, we have 22 days left until Thanksgiving. Guess that means 22 more things to be thankful for. Can't wait!
Homework is calling . . . not for much longer though! :)
