| T.G.I.F for sure, for sure!! |
This has been one crazy week. It’s funny how you can personally be having a
pretty damn good week to only have the events around you effect the way you
feel. I mean, I griped earlier this week
about the traffic…it sucked a BIG one every morning except today. Thank you Jesus!! Yet when you add on the tragedies in Boston,
the tragedies in Texas, a suicide on the highway between my home and my job
yesterday, and now the end to the Boston lock down, it’s been quite the
roller coaster of emotions. I don’t know
if everyone is affected by things like this as I am, but hey, I’m very
emotional. I cried for days after the
Sandy Hook tragedy in December. Guess I
can be thankful to have a compassionate heart, right? I just feel drained, like I could crawl under
my blanket and sleep for days, but I won’t.
Now
here it is 9P.M on Friday night and what am I doing? Surfing the net, checking
Facebook, watching the live coverage from Boston and now blogging, pretty happenin’
night, huh? Today was pretty good! Friday’s always seem to go fast at work. Between a long assembly, 3 specials, lunch,
playground and the fact that today was not only ice cream day, but popcorn day
too (it’s called raising money for the school)…by the time we knew it the day
was over. Today we did say goodbye to one of our sweet little girls who is
moving away. It won’t be the same
without T telling us every day “I like your shirt” or “You so cute”, but I know
her new adventure is going to be a fun one for her family. P played in a golf tournament today close to
home, so it was great having him home early.
Especially since there was a wild storm that passed over us a few hours
ago. The wind was blowing hella hard, to the point it sounded like pebbles
hitting our garage door. The power went
off for a couple minutes and boy, was I glad to have gotten dinner ready early
(I rarely do that). Knowing my luck, had
I NOT gotten it ready, we’d have been without power forever!! I made a huge pot of chili and it was
wonderful…as always....LOL! Conceited
much, nope just confident of my cooking skills.
Now P and I are sitting here side by side at the table with laptops
open, me typing, him playing some soothing reggae. God knows I love this man!!
I
am so proud of my little man T today!! He got straight A’s on his report card
and will be recognized at an awards ceremony in a few weeks because of it. P and I will be leaving early from work that
day. I’m not missing that for anything!!
K is continuing to struggling with Geometry and English. This has been constant since the beginning of
school, even with tutoring almost weekly.
Her schedule for next year will hopefully help her get back on the right
track, as this year has been more down than up as far as her grades go. She really wants to be a nurse when she
finishes school, so we are constantly reminding her that she HAS to get her
grades up. Sadly we are now at the last
9 weeks of the school year and there’s no coming back from it at this point,
this school year.
On
that note….this ramble is long enough.
Hugs,
A.J.
