the fairest one of all...

...but right now i feel more like the seven dwarfs.

sleepy: it's 6 o'clock on a monday, need i say more?

grumpy: i have a LOT of work to do tonight...and my head kinda aches

sneezy: my sinuses are acting up again & ever since i worked on saturday (at the pb) i have been sneezing like crazy. blast those candles and their scents!

doc: when i'm teaching it feels like nothing else...the kids are looking to me for wisdom & even if i'm not 100% sure about my answers to their random and weird questions, i give it my best shot. if i'm sure i don't know, i tell them i will look it up & then i do. they learn something, i learn something, and we've made a connection. it's a win-win-win.

bashful: i'm being observed for the first time sometime this week. (either tuesday or wednesday) we got observed all the time in grad school & their evaluations are tough!...so i'm not so much worried about the technical aspects...but it's been a long time since someone else was in my room & i haven't gotten any feedback lately. i'm feeling rather shy.

happy: life is good. i am blessed with fabulous family, a wonderful fiance', wonderful friends, and just in general, a good life. i am grateful every day for what i have & i work hard not to take things or people for granted. PLUS the new shopping center is opening this thursday so we'll have all the b'ham stores i left behind. jcrew & anthropologie, here i come!

dopey: ...i hope it's normal for a teacher's brain to shut off at 4ish in the afternoon...i just hope it turns itself back on after supper so i can get some work done! :)

the bad news? things don't always go as planned or hoped or expected... the table and chairs we picked up saturday were scratched & broken. bummer...but they will replace and deliver new ones no extra charge.

the good news? even snow white got to wake up and start over. and she was in a poison-apple-induced-coma! every day starts off with a clean slate and a new piece of chalk. "you either have to laugh it off or sweat it out" (my babaloo says that) and i much prefer to laugh it off. even the little things are funny & God puts them there for the express purpose of bringing us daily joyfulness. God has to have a sense of humor! i'm thankful that He does and He gave me one as well. :)

okay, i'm off to sit on the couch until supper and then get to work. woo-hoo.
love to all...
me

"Sit on the couch?" Don't you mean, "Do our workout routine while watching t.v.?"

Sneezy after working? Sounds like you're allergic to labor :D

Hey, I hate that we didn't get to talk! I'm so sorry I harassed you at work. We were wondering if you guys are free next Saturday? We were hoping to come up and make some plans, if'n you weren't doing anything!
Let us know! We'll be in Tuscaloosa tomorrow, but we'll work it out!
