Monday Losses and Wins

-

Mondays seem to be a struggle, but good things usually happen on Mondays.  Last Monday, my day evolved a bit from the time I woke up to the end of the day. It was like the 10th rainy day in a row and I did NOT want to get out of bed and do anything. But then in English class, The Crucible woke everyone up! My students got really into it for the first time, which made me soooo happy because I love The Crucible!  When we stopped reading for the day they said, "Can't we just keep reading?!"  I said, "Oooooh... wait, are y'all ENJOYING The Crucible?!" Sheepishly: "Yes..." YAY! #win Dropping a Golden Corral roll on the floor was a fail... But the pizza Alex C. and I had after school was DANK. First time at Uncle Maddio's and I will most definitely be back. (They have a great Monday special.) Alex got a new Jeep (we both had Jeeps in high school so it's like the old days except more l...

Just Around the Riverbend

I love Disney music, and lately I've been listening to a lot of Pocahontas.  "Just Around the Riverbend" is one of my favorite Disney songs (lol). Pocahontas is just cruising down the river in her canoe with her little raccoon and the air is filled with hope and she has so many dreams for her life  and she's singing about how she doesn't want to live within the limits that her family has set for her, but go beyond those limits and see what her full potential is. She could play it safe by doing what's easiest and expected of her and not be as happy or she could do her own thing and although it would be harder, she would probably be happier.  Might be a stretch, but I think you can get a couple good lessons out of this song (and many Disney songs!).  1.

As Christians, we are not promised that life will be easy or comfortable...

Weekend Report

As usual, the weekend flew by-they always do! This one was wonderful, as most of them are. It was extra special, though. :) Friday was an early release day at school. ASHLEY GOT HER LICENSE!!! We went to Country BBQ and let Margaret serve us our food. I had to go to Petsmart because Emery ran out of food and *whoops* I can't ever go in there and get JUST dog food... So Emery ended up with a pumpkin costume and a ski vest, ha! Church youth trip to Steak n Shake and the bowling alley, where we had a really dank private room and guess what, I'M STILL TERRIBLE AT BOWLING! But it was super fun. ON SATURDAY I WENT WITH BROOKE AND HER FAMILY TO HER ULTRASOUND APPOINTMENT TO SEE IF THE BABY WAS A BOY OR GIRL. I hadn't seen one in person since I was ten years old and Ashley was a lil fetus, and oh my. Seeing that little baby move was amazing. It made me so emotional! Life is so precious, and that baby seemed to already have a little perso...
