Monday workday

Today was a tough work day but very entertaining the kids I worked with were very outgoing and talkative they have a very intuitive mindset and we’re constantly on the move it was a massive overtaking of individualized personalities and innovative mindsets today on top of the back it’s my daughters birthday I’m really proud of her she always brings a smile to my face every time I think about the day of her birth and everything that happened that day I feel the glimpse of joy and happiness knowing that she was my last born and my life is all the better because she exists anyway happy birthday my youngest I love you

A disappointment

Last night I was very excited I got dressed was looking beautiful to go out and see the concert that I won on the radio only to get there and find out I was not put on the list I tried to reach out to the radio and my favorite radio host Teeroy to no avail I was completely disappointed when I had to leave without seeing the artist because the man at the entrance said I cannot let you in without being on this list. The music was playing there were people coming in and the vibe was really nice but I just could not be one of the participants in the atmosphere so I left there sat in my car for a minute trying to think of how I could reach somebody to let it be known I belonged on that list.

Since I was unsuccessful I left and came home and thought about my next move for the night and enjoy the night watching TV and solitude at my house the Sunday was still nice today and I enjoyed the rest of the day last night I hope you have had a productive Sunday as well. But the disappointment was still real to me times that happens in life you still have to roll with the punches and keep moving forward there are always better days ahead I know that and I believe that.

Happy Black Friday

I use to love to shop on Black Friday it was the most exciting day of the year for me to go out in the rush and get educational toys and gifts as well as electronic gifts for my kids to help make learning fun for them I was always excited to see what new gadget had come out so I could surprise them with it and make them smile on Christmas

I haven’t shopped on Black Friday in some years now because my kids are grown and because the way life has went for me I am happy I have a young grandson to do a little something for he is so handsome and growing so fast I love him so much already. I hope his first Christmas is a great

Me and my grandson

He has so much life to look forward to and I am so proud of him and my daughter who is his mommy she does everything she can to make sure he is taken care of happy Black Friday

Happy Thanksgiving eve

I have started cooking my meal for Thanksgiving got the macaroni and cheese done got the cornbread done got my potatoes and eggs down for potato salad cleaned it turkey clean my greens and I am working on the corn on the cob and contemplating what to do for dessert because I have ice cream and pie that I’ve made but thinking I want to sweet potato pie I’m pretty sure it’s going to come out great I hope that you are having a great Thanksgiving as well

This year is very satisfying so far I even won tickets to go to an event where the 69 boys are recording a video and I get to be there to see it and be a part of it on Thanksgiving night very excited about that as well enjoy the rest of your night

Sunday Funday

Today I had a very eventful day I was invited out to eat with a friend and had a very enjoyable time at Applebee’s football was on and the waitress was very attentive and caring it’s always nice to get out and have good company I even got to see the river I love the places here in Jacksonville. It’s always fun to be out in the company and have great people around to enjoy a night out with.

I also was able to get a few things done on my computer and set up a few things to get prepared for Thanksgiving and most importantly I talk to my daughter and my handsome grandson who always light up my life. Having them around has made my life a joy.

Now it’s time to get prepared for work tomorrow and get settled in for the holidays ahead this will be a great time to go out talk to my dogs and give them special treats so that they can feel a part of the holidays to have a great rest of your Sunday.

A rough day

I love what I do I love working with kids watching their minds grow but sometimes it can be tough they all have individualized personalities and want to be heard a lot of times all at the same time no matter how many times you might tell them raise your hand and wait your turn Johnny Joe is talking they still well yell out and let it be known what they have to say is of the utmost importance even if no one hears them because everybody is doing the exact same thing.

Today was one of those days and as I sit here thinking about it I chuckle a little bit because I know that it is just because they desire to feel important and be heard no matter how much is going on around them and that is the most important thing to them. As kids grow they are so involved in everything that sometimes we forget that they are still little and developing and learning as they move along through this thing called life and we have to take the time out to sit down and really listen for them to express whatever concerns they have that’s going on in their world.

That’s one of the reasons why I love what I do even if sometimes I leave out with my head pounding I still remember they are such a great part of my life to watch them grow and learn and explore the world around them and I am so grateful to be a part of it. Then I can try to remember the headache I was at their age and how my teacher was when she left going home after dealing with me on a day-to-day basis. Happy Thursday TBT.
