Blessings and Joys

I haven't blogged in a few days. I've been trying to recuperate and enjoy life to its fullest : )

Friday was a good day of assessment and celebration. The kids did great on all their tests and enjoyed eating snacks and playing games together. It was another short day, but without conferences, so I got lots done and still could leave at an "early" time.

The highlight of my day, however, was that Ross came to school with me. It just feels right to be together all day- interacting with and helping children. Friday was a special blessing...

Mom also came- have I mentioned that her faithfulness is a blessing? She has come every Friday since school started, except when she was in Disneyland and that week- she came on Thursday. The administrators and office staff ask me when she is coming and eagerly await her arrival. She is a bringer of joy, wherever she goes : )

Friday night I was exhausted and took a nap while Ross began passing out candy. Then I graded all my tests and recorded them while Ross continued passing out candy. He's such a good host : )

On Saturday, I treated myself to a spa pedicure and Ross treated me to a dinner out. It was a blissful day...

Today we went to church and then to Ben's girlfriend's house for lunch. We ate grilled burgers and homemade french fries. Yummy! Then we went vitamin and grocery shopping (fun, huh) Ross went off to youth group and I joined a friend for a birthday dinner.

Now I am sitting at home, telling you all this and wondering where the weekend went...

Tomorrow will be crazy with another observation and a new teacher meeting- please pray for my energy and good attitude. The last few Mondays I haven't wanted to get out of bed.

Sweet dreams...
