A good day

Today was a good day... after a long night. Kiddo and I got up early and he does his thing and I do mine. As I am finishing in the bathroom, he knocks on the door and tells me his is finished his business. I say "That's good". He then asks, " So, what would you like for breakfast?"

Too cute.

Then later today he takes my horn case to the car without being asked... actually without me even having the intention for him to take it. He just saw it and took it. He's going to make some young lady very happy one day. He already made a mommy very happy.

Then, my friend Susan, funniest woman I know, tells this story. 

This young man and woman were engaged to each other and going through that pre marriage counselling through their church. The pastor told them that they were more than welcome to be married in that church as long as they stayed "pure" through their engagement. The went for weeks and weeks keeping true to that promise that they would stay untouched until their wedding day. 2 weeks before the wedding, they went to their pastor and told him they had fallen. He said "We were showing so much restraint. And then this one day, I saw her reach for a light bulb, and my lustful nature overwhelmed me and I took her then and there." The pastor shakes his head and says, "I am so sorry. But you realize that you are no longer welcome to married in this house of God" The man says, "That's alright. We aren't welcome at The Home Depot anymore either"

I do live in Colorado Springs remember. Tame crowd here :-)

Ho hum

I am simply writing because I am at a loss of other things to do. Sleep would be the wisest course of action, but have you ever felt sleepy yet not wanted to sleep? Well this is where I am currently. I know there are things I could be doing but none of them seeming important enough to actually do them. Instead I play computer card games that seem to make my computer awfully slow and make the spinning wheel of color and frustration appear. Grrrrr.

What is going on? Life as it has days before and as it most likely will days following. We are reaching the end of the school year and it can't come fast enough for me. This year had been full of educational woes that seem to have a doppler effect that continues forever. And then, last week, a fellow teacher and acquaintance of mine had just been arrested for child porn. Great. :-( I really like/ liked the person too, so I don't really know what to think about all that. I hope that it is all a mistake or that they were set up, but I also see that such a thing is probably not the reality of the situation. Just goes to show, sometimes you can't believe the media and sometimes you learn how much you DON'T know about someone.

That, and one of the students who graduated "last year" is engaged. Engaged!! Ok, I see that my view of the matrimonial state may be a little skewed at this very moment in time, but, not even a year out of high school and off to the alter? Really? How much life can you have under your belt? I can't imagine going through my undergrad, not even in my twenties, and being married? Uh, no. Is this just the cynic in me? Thinking it can't work? Thinking who they have/haven't met? Thinking, how well can someone know themself at 19? This just seems so foreign to me and in turn, maybe unwise? Who knows? I wish them well, and if they make it for the long haul, maybe there's a lesson to be learned, but damn if I know what it is now.

Other than that, probably not a whole lot to say. At the moment, I am living the life of a psuedo-slacker. It's not overly rewarding, so I'll be happy when the momentum changes at the end of the year.

One more personal performance to go and 3 more school ones. Eh, could be worse I guess. It's hard to motivate others when your simply trying to motivate yourself. Ever been there?

Ok. 11pm here with a 5:30 wake up right around the corner. :-( Funny, I'm not too worried about the struggle to fall asleep, rather the one that's to be fought at the sound of the bell.... or buzz as the case may be.

Oh, well. Off to round one.
