Who is immesurably lucky?

MEEEEE! I have a wonderful Mother, StepDad, Dad and StepMom, fantastic grandparents, aunts and uncles and great cousins. Good friends and (mostly) good co-workers....but I have an immeasurably wonderful husband and daughter.

Mr. T and I don't have a perfect marriage but it is pretty freaking great in my opinion....we occasionally argue, we occasionally disagree...we always make up :) (keeping it G-Rated...my parents read this!)

My house is not spotless and my daughter runs around with a dirty shirt on half the time, the other half she isn't even wearing a shirt. I always need to mop (or maybe that's just my floor OCD - I am only OCD about gross floors)

But right now my house does smell AHHHHmazing. The hubs brought me some flowers - my fav. springtime flowers actually -daffodils, he even put them in the Kerr jar. I am blessed, very very blessed.

Believing in rocks

I am a couponer...not the crazy kind, nor do I stock pile for impending doom. But I do like to watch TV about crazy couponers and people who stock pile for impending doom (not the allergy induced kind - actual doom).

Carly's baby sitter and I were talking about this the other day and about the whole Mayan Impending Doom stuff. I made the comment, "funny how a bunch of people believe in an old rock....I guess I'm weird too, I believe in 10 rocks" WOOOAAA!

Did.That.Just.Come.Out.Of.My.Face.!?! I've been thinking on that comment a lot lately and how the Lord makes random things fly out of my face. For some people they might be funny things, or insightful things but to me its just how my brain works. I don't think I am "special" in a -the Lord Hath Given Me A Gift - way. More of a - my super power is Not Having a Filter -way.


Believing in rocks is a lot harder at work than in "real" life. I say "real" because being a teacher in a high school there are a lot of real issues, however; the majority of the problems are ridiculous drama -which is not so much real but mostly hormone induced hallucinations. The drama is exhausting, especially when I want to tell the students to pray on their problems but I can't, because it is against the law. Occasionally there is an opportunity to talk about Jesus - legally!! Like when I used the phrase "good Samaritan" and a student asked me where that phrase came from. Or when we talk about how religion plays a role in food choices and holiday traditions, as well as in Spanish when we talk about important figures like Our Lady of Guadalupe.





This was on Pinterest, think it is going to be a summer craft project for my room next year.

I believe in rocks - 10 of them.
Welcome to my world. Nothing too exciting going on here....I am a teacher and enjoy telling my friends about the interesting things that happen in my daily life. I find the most pleasure in the simple things that occur daily. Like the brilliant sunsets as I drive home from work or the way Maggie whimpers and paws when she dreams in the kitchen or the way Cody starts my car when he leaves for work just because he knows I don't like to be cold.
