the office returned to our lives last night.
what did you think?!
normally, this would be a lunch time conversation with all the girls at work. however, since that delight has been stolen from us all…i’m turning to you onliners (and the same old girls) to share thoughts with.
i, for one, was Read the rest of this entry »
i’m sitting on the floor in the living room in front of the couch. after getting home from the Esther study, i hunkered down here for a final chill session before the week (and non-sick life) starts up.
i’ve spent most of the past two days on this couch. for two and a half days before that, i was passed out in bed. once the fevers subsided, i moved to the couch surrounded with the essentials of tissues, cough drops, water, books, magazines, the remote (to a loaded dvd player), and my trusty computer.
i spent more time at home through this whole sick thing than i have in a long time. and the thing about being sick is you can’t do anything. even when i was finally able to think and see straight, the energy wasn’t available to be productive so all i could do was just be.
but sometimes He leads us besides still waters for a reason and all we can do is be still as well.
i feel restored and renewed and i’m excited to get going again tomorrow morning.
right now, i’m chatting, perusing a few sites, and watching celebrity apprentice. do i normally watch celebrity apprentice? no. i never have. it’s interesting-ish or at least entertaining. and there’s nothing else on.
one of the sites i was looking at is Read the rest of this entry »
5:20 am–wake-up to start another week.
7:55 am–14 little faces smile at me as they enter my classroom (1 snuck in late)
8:37 am–steel reminds me to set the prayer timer. you see, a few months back, my kids and i went through the 60-60 challenge of soul revolution together. it pretty much was awesome. we stopped some time after thanksgiving partly cause the 60 days were finished and partly cause i forgot the timer at home after break. however, we’ve missed the hourly beep and i’ve been meaning to bring it back. plus, i’m going through the study again with my church at the end of the month so i need to get on that. i’m thankful for steel’s heart and that he misses the habit of connecting with God in an intentional way every hour. i’m also thankful that i have this time to teach in a school that allows me to do such a thing with my kids.

i’m a big fan of memory/recognition games with tv and movies…connecting actors to the cartoon voice, remembering a face from whatever movie, etc. i probably like it cause i’m good at it but who doesn’t like things they’re good at?!!?
joy and are watching twister…well, it’s at least playing on the tube. Read the rest of this entry »
last night, a group of us camped out at the alamo drafthouse for a few hours to watch the season finale of LOST. though it wasn’t in HD and people in the crowd were clappers, i had a good time watching it on the big screen with friends.
throughout the second half, we were hung out to wonder who jeremy bentham is. the fact that he’s Read the rest of this entry »
last weekend, i noticed that ninage had some anthony bourdain on her dvr. when i exclaimed my delight, she said she got hooked after reading about him in one of my posts making it all even better!
our time together was just about over, however i was able to catch some of the hawaii episode. while he was there, he went to this incredible place that made me crave hot dogs like never before: Read the rest of this entry »
