Williamsburg

I am enjoying a nice break from the kids, visiting Williamsburg with my in-laws. Matter of fact, they are heading out the door.............I'll write later!

OK! We have spent the last couple of days enjoying the sights, sounds and tastes of Williamsburg. What an amazing time! Its such a blessing to be able to spend a little time appreciating our history and listening to "our fore fathers." I was very impressed with how many of the building are originals or build on the original foundations.

More to come.

Me!

I am a bad blogger...

Rule number one in blogging. Blog often and write alot. I stink. I have not been a good blogger.

Oh well. The only way that I can make it up to you is to keep trying to post. Honestly though, I have a semi boring/lovely life with little drama to really write about. Or maybe I just dont feel like it is news worthy. Either way, Ill bore you a little more.

So, I have babyits. THANK YOU KET. I went to visit a friend hoping that being around her baby for a couple of days would cure my babyitis. It did not work. Her sweet, sweet baby just made me want one MORE. On top of that, the hubby even caught a little bit of babyitis while holding her and told me how good I looked holding her. This is not helpful. The babyitis is in full force. Watch out!

May God Bless me and my sillyness.

Canceled Trip

Well, hubby and I had planned a trip to see the family. We had spent the last couple of days making plans and preparing to be gone. Cat boxes scooped, food out of the fridge, dishes washed, getting scripts filled, packing etc. Last night I hurried around after work, cleaning, feeding animals, and doing laundry. We went to sleep and got up early (only four hours of sleep for hubby). We drove the 30 min. to the airport, and stored the car in long term parking. Went to catch the flight at the airport. Had our gate moved, ate breakfast and sat waiting for our flight. Well, right before boarding time, the flight was canceled. No flights were going into or out of the city we were going to because of 50 mph winds and blowing snow. As standby passengers, our chances of getting a later flight (if they took off at all) were next to none. So, we had our bags pulled, and sent to the baggage area (an hour later) and eventually went home. All in all we had a breakfast out, walked around two miles, and had to pay two dollars for parking. So now we are home with the next two days free and nothing to do but feel crappy that we had to cancel our trip. (SIGH) It was a long day.

Just wanted to add a pic. from New Years 2008!

I have decided that sleep is good.

I am currently sitting in bed, just relaxing after a good and long nights sleep. I woke up actually feeling awake and refreshed. I'm not sure when the last time that happened was. Usually, I get up in a fog and then yawn and zone out until around 12 - which is not good when you are teaching. Today is different, I feel like I could go run a marathon. I wonder what I did differently last night. Maybe it was the fact that I watched "Pretty Woman" last night before I went to sleep? I may have to try watching a movie in bed, before bed, again as am experiment. Hummm....the science teacher comes out again. :-P

Ich spreche Deutsch! Heute ich war ein Deutsch Lerherin.

Today I took a half day teaching GERMAN! Whoo hoo! At first I did not want to accept the job because it was at a school where I do not enjoy teaching. I had also told myself I wouldnt not take another job there unless I was in DIRE straights. I finally decided to take it because, 1.) it was a German class and 2.) it was only for a half day and I think I could deal with just about anything for only four hours.

It was nice to, finially, be able to practice some of my German. Of course, the kids did not know as much as I do but, it was nice to hear a little bit. It also made me feel good about how much I do really know.

All in all, the day went very well and I came away wanting to learn more German and realizing that the school that I had written off was not as bad as I had remembered. I think I'll sub there again. Looking back, my bad experience may have just been because I was subbing for a poor teacher....humm...things to ponder.

Just a thought.

I had a thought today. Just one. lol. Most people (myself included) use blogs to let out steam, make a statement, and to vent about their day. Not too many people just write about how good their life is so, today I think I'll do that.

I am content with my life right now. It may not be perfect, and I may not have the perfect job but, I can truly say I am happy. I feel as though hubby and I are in a place right now where we are living semi-comfortably (meaning that we can afford our groceries). We are looking forward to the things to come and are finialy investing in our dreams. We have been saving for a house, investing in our IRA, and putting money away for a possible trip one day.

I feel as though hubby and I get to see one another often, get to spend tons of quality time together and that I have plenty of my own free time. I dont feel tied down to any obligations with my jobs, and pretty much have zero job stress. I am happy to be in the city I want to live in and I have a home that I am proud of.

All and all the only thing I can say is, thank you Jesus for taking care of me and blessing me with such comfort and happiness. You are a merciful God who is fulled with grace and gives away blessings freely. For that I am incredibly greatful.
