~ I had good intentions of cleaning our bedroom yesterday, but I found other things to do. Then it started raining, so it seemed like a good time to sit down, read a bit, and take a bit of a nap. That's what summer break is for, right?
~ After about a year of talking about it, CH & I started a camping blog together. It's just getting off the ground, so we'll see how it goes.
~ I finally got my winter clothes put up and my summer clothes out. I really hope some of this weight comes off quickly; there were quite a few items that were just a tad too tight.
~ This commercial just warms my heart, especially the last little girl at around 18 seconds:
~ Remember to check out other frags at Mrs. 4444's!
1. That's right. Linda at 2nd Cup of Coffee, host of the Random Dozen will be back with a whole new set of questions for us to answer next week! WOO-HOO!
2. My students are all accounted for. I was a little sad that a couple of them had moved to other states, and I didn't get to tell them goodbye. I always hope that I had an impact on their lives, and that they won't forget about me years from now.
3. Yesterday was the first time I got to use the "I'm not a football mom...I don't have to go to a football related event if I don't want to" card. Well, guess what? I didn't wanna, and I didn't. It was the first time an inter-team scrimmage was held. I had no desire to sit out in the hot bleachers to see someone elses' kids playing on the field. I've done my time and now I'm done. The band is in charge of the concession stand, and my services weren't needed (prayer of thanks inserted here). YS had to go because the band was playing, and die-hard high school football fan husband just wanted to go. (insert nice quiet time alone in the cool house here)
4. Thursday is a day off. Yes, after just 3 days of school, we get a day off due to elections. The county schools are used as voting places, so there's no school. Yee-Haw! I'm planning on going to Daily Mass, grocery store, meeting friends for lunch at a new Mexican place in town (insert one margarita in here), and relaxing. Should be a good day.
5. MS started a new job since lifeguarding is pretty much over: he's a waiter in a restaurant. I think it's good for him to work in the food industry: he'll have an appreciation to how hard servers work and how crappy customers can treat them. Good life lesson. The owners of the restaurant are tough: they expect a lot out of their employees.
6. Every now and then Sister Ann Marie at Franciscan Life posts a video from youtube with positive thoughts. The one I watched yesterday had a couple of lines from a song by Joyce Marie that really struck me. And, since we've just started a new school year, these are words to live by:
"Your gift of free will allows you to choose.
You are the master of your attitude." from the song Uplifted and Inspired
Thank you, Sister Ann Marie!
7. This is a total random number of random things that I'm doing today, so just go with it!
I have to share this commercial with y'all. I saw it for the first time a few nights ago. It's the funniest commercial I've seen in a while!
