As Seen on TV

There are so many things advertised on TV. They all promise to make your life easier or better. They can't really deliver on that promise though. They may make your life simpler for a time, but the product will wear out. It may make it easier for you to store a billion sweaters, but eventually, holes appear and the air will find its way back in the bag. The sweeper may work for a short time, but it will break. In this life there is only one thing that lasts... one thing that makes our life better... God. Can't find that advertisement on TV...

Winding Down & Gearing Up

In my classroom we have been counting the number of days we have been in school. Yesterday we were at 157. That means there are only 23 days left. The year is winding down. Quickly.

As I think about the year winding down and summer beginning, I then think about what's in store this summer. It seems the calendar is packed full... feeling like summer will be over before it even begins. Don't get me wrong, I am looking forward to summer and know there will be some time to relax and enjoy being with family. But the calendar is full.

The first big think in June is the Principal License test that Dave is taking. That will be stressful! We will be glad when that is over.

There's my nephews wedding in June - I am so excited for that! There will be lots of family visiting and fun times to be had, I am sure!

My parents' 50th wedding anniversary is also in June. We are planning a big party for that.

A trip to CA will most likely fit in there somewhere between the Anniversary and Annie's birthday in July.

Then there will be Annie's birthday.

I am taking a class this summer to renew my teaching license. That will be a week of 8-5 inside a classroom.

Once that is over, it will be time to prepare for next year.

School will start Aug 10.

See? It's over before it starts.... time to wind down the school year and gear up for the summer.

ACHOOO

Spring is here. I love it. I really do. What I don't love about spring are the allergy issues that come with it. I want to enjoy the sun, the plants, the new life, the growth... all without sinus pain, sneezing, itchy watery eyes... etc. Is that too much to ask? Medicine helps, but doesn't cure...

In spite of the allergy issues though, I really am enjoying this spring. The sun makes me smile. The warmth lifts my spirit. The new growth all around is exciting to see. Thank you God for spring coming after winter!

Spring

Spring is in the air! And I am LOVING it!
