happy Friday...

In my opinion, there are not many better feelings than leaving work on a Friday afternoon. (It helps when it is 70 degrees and sunny out, too.) Today as I left work, I felt a sense of accomplishment. I have been trying really hard to not complain about having to work, and, instead, to be positive and helpful and efficient with my time while I am at work. Gone are the days of chatting by the water cooler (really, the water cooler) and catching up with colleagues who work on the other side of the building. And I am okay with that. Instead, I wake up really early so I can get to work really early so I can get done all the things I used to do after school before the students (and most of the faculty) even arrive. I have the copier and my classroom all to myself for about an hour, and I love that quiet time to return emails, grade papers, make copies, and plan for the next day. So, why the sense of accomplishment as I left school today? Because I am doing it. Somehow, I am managing to work full time and still spend precious, precious time with my little lovie and my bigger lovie, not to mention taking care of our house and my church calling. Is everything perfect all of the time? Of course not. But, everything is perfect some of the time, and that feels good.

weekends...

On Saturdays I love to

wear Mommy's clothes,

play in the bathtub,

snuggle on the couch,

and read to Daddy.

I got nothin'...

I am too tired to write about anything worth reading, but you can click here to see my cute little one with her favorite family.

I do not like the Sunday-night blues, and I've got them bad tonight.
