Living the simple life and appreciating everything I have more and more each day. I have many children in my class that show me daily how wonderful it is to just be able to take a bath or have a pair of shoes that aren’t torn and tattered. Through my new life as a teacher I have become more mature and motherly than ever. I look out after 18 sweethearts daily and they are a hugh highlight of my day. I am so blessed to be able to be a part of their lives. When I have a little girl come in my class with filthy clothes and body and I am able to help clean her up, it is more rewarding than anything money could buy. The smile and absolute thanks from a child touches my heart more than you will ever know.
It is precious to see how a little rugged Christmas tree with some tacky lights and a star on top can make some kids day. Yesterday my kids were making there Christmas wishes to the tree, I found it to be hilarious and oh so adorable. SO, i didnt spend a lot of time on it and didn’t go buy new things for it, but you know none of that mattered to them. The two trees at home are AMAZING!!! One is classic gold with angles and red cranberries and the BIG tree is GREEN AND GOLD (GO BULLS) it is beautiful we got all the stuff at Hallmark for it and made it look oh so elegant and wonderful! SOoOoOoO glad that my sister and I have an artistic hand b/c I would hate a tree with gay character ornaments and garland on it. YUCK! Me and Ash spent the evening decorating the house with cheer it was FUN it has been a while since I have gotten to spend any real time with her so it was something I have definitely missed… I love you sis!
With this all being said I am finding it a bit difficult to find anything that I want for Christmas… I like am beginning to have a new sense about spending money on “stuff”. Im more than grateful for my wonderful career and all the blessings that come along with it especially having a pay check, but I haven’t really found an item that I would LOVE to have… Iono maybe this is part of growing up… I just would much rather give gifts than receive them.
Ok, enough mushy stuff… I wanted to shout out to my SISSY!!!! Graduation on saturday! So Righteous!!!! YAY! congratulations I am so proud of you! I had my class chanting gooooo bulls with the hand motions today just for you. I told them if they do it well enough Ill record them to let you see on Saturday!
