This Was a Week...

This week was a week.... a really LONG week at school.  There was at least one curve ball that blew my careful planning for at least one chunk of everyday, but I caught them all and made it work.  How did I do it?  I prayed.

Before my feet hit the floor in the dark of morning to run with my Winnie, I prayed to love these kids and their families no matter what as the very first priority.  I prayed that no matter what level each kid would feel success every day even if it was just coming to the rug the correct way or walking in line with voices off.  If I had to do half the project for them or get a friend to help, they would be successful this week.   I prayed that I made sure even more than usual that each kid knew I loved them and I was glad they were at school.

This was a week.... a really LONG week at school, but it was a good week.

Numbers

Today is 12/12/12.  It is also double review day in room 7 so we can use facts of 2 to help us solve problems times 4.  Love the doubles!

Kevin's dad died in a helicopter crash off the coast of San Diego on 12/12/66.  With my birthday being 6/6/66, I was 6 months and 6 days old on that day.  

At dinner last night, the conversation turned to the number game.  Abbey mentioned that tomorrow will be the last day that has all the numbers the same for a hundred years.  After pondering that a bit, Kevin pointed out that because Abbey's birthday is 1/1/00... that day on 1/1/01..... she will turn 101!  

Numbers.... Time to go to work and get 12/12/12 in the history books.  

Frustrated

My hip is tight and I just want to jump back in.  I don't have the time or bucks to get it worked on constantly or pay for the classes that might let the rest get stronger and tighter while it gets untighter.   Yes, I know that untighter  is not a word, but it fits my thoughts.

I know I have life pretty good, but I have chosen a profession that frustrates me often.... the running unfrustrates me.  Yup...another non word that fits my thoughts.

I think I will get my frustrated old self to do some lonely stretches and exercises....
