What I Miss Most...

Today was a crazy day... Just like any other day i got the boys up, made a different breakfast for each of them (more on that another time) Prepared lunches and tied shoes making sure everyone was dressed just right for the weather.  I rushed them out the door and loaded them into the car.  I wasn't feeling well the night before and just wanted to get them to school.  As we pulled out i realized something was wrong.  Pulled back in and said well boys, we're walking.  My tire was flat yet again.  Just 8 weeks earlier the same thing happened with the same tire.  (i filled air in it the night before bc my light sensor was on and the next day i woke to it completely flat) After returning home a neighbor came and helped me put air in in so i could take it in.  Upon my arrival i explained to the man what had happened and how odd that it had happened just 8 weeks earlier on the same tire.  They said they repaired it and charged me $500 for a whole slew of things.  He was so nasty to me and told me that i didn't know what i was talking about and that he couldn't help me until he looked and that wouldn't be until 11:30-12:00 and that i should just go sit  my butt down and wait.  I have to be honest I've been a bit emotional lately and so i turned around went and sat down and began to cry.  Why was he so mean, what had i done to him?   Then i realized i hadn't done anything but maybe he was just having a bad day too.
But, that leads me to this... What I Miss Most about a good solid relationship.  The ability to pick up the phone at any given moment to that one person that one person you could say just about anything to and they won't judge you or be angry but instead just tell you, it's all going to be okay.  Even through the sobbing they'll hold you tight and tell you they love you.  That's what i miss most.

Putting in the HARD Work

 My son Josiah is an excellent soccer player.  He started playing at a very early age.  He practiced and practiced until he started to see the results he wanted.  This wasn't where his hard work would stop.  He knew as did I as his mother he would have to continue to put in the hard work day in and day out if he wanted to make the team of his choice as well as be competitive with the other boys.   When he first started he was shy and wasn't willing to take many risks.  The more time he spend on the field he realized that he had to put himself out there and try new things.  Just when he would think he's at the top there are always better players and better teams.  The hard work never really stops.  I'm so proud of the young man and soccer play he has become.  This leads me to a phrase many have heard me say.  Any relationship and especially a good one it takes a lot of HARD work. What does that mean? Shouldn't the right rel...

The Night Before the Last Day of PreK

 Tomorrow I will wrap up another year teaching PreK.  9 months ago I met my tiny new best friends.  At first I mourned the loss of my previous class but eventually they grew on me and I fell in love with each of them.   The end of the school year (for those who love what they do) is like a really terrible break up.  This week has been full of emotion, some personal but a lot of sadness about what's coming to an end.  I'm not going to say that this year has been smooth or easy.  There have been many challenges. If you think about the amount of time I spend with these children each day it's a lot.  I spend almost 5 hours each day 4 days a week with theses kiddos.   There have been tears (from them and myself). When they walked through my door 9 months ago many of them were quiet, scared and unfamiliar with me.  I was able to earn their trust, and show them that I was more than just their teacher.  I loved them and was comple...

Seriously...

This weekend I made reservations to celebrate a good friends birthday.  It's always hard in the month of December to do anything besides the "Holidays".  But, I wanted to make sure the day didn't pass without her feeling special.  To make the day extra special she invited a few other friends and their children.   We finally got settled in and I noticed this guy, he had noticed our table too.  I kept racking my brain trying to figure out how I knew him.  I playing over my students dads, my boys friends dads, other dads at school, my social circle but I kept coming up short.  I finally said something to my friend and she said, Oh he's on the dating apps.  (One of the first things I often do is check fingers for rings to eliminate that as a possibility...he had a ring).  I said but, he has a ring.  She said, exactly.  This is what were dealing with.  The man was clearly out with family and extended family but is spending his ...
