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

Saturday November 20th

Today is my day to get out and handle business enjoy life and have fun in any way that I can I hope that you are doing the same life is too short to not enjoy it I think I’m going to work out and find something to cook and prepare for the week to come since Thanksgiving is next week I’m very excited about that because I love the holiday season I miss the family time and all of the shenanigans that go on with it maybe this year will be better then years past happy holidays but I also will be watching what I eat because I’m still on this weight loss journey

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.

Happy Tuesday

A good day

I work with 5th graders today and they are kind of hard head they want what they want when they want them sometimes they are combative but I think that’s only because they are used to having leniency and getting their way. I enjoy watching them learn and try to maneuver their way around doing what they’re supposed to do instead of getting done all that they can accomplish if they would just get right to their work.

Sometimes when they’re all trying to talk at the same time to convey something that they feel is of the utmost important which mainly is to keep from doing whatever the assignment is I find myself saying multiple times to turn around sit back stop talking to your neighbor let’s focus on our work wow still trying not to chuckle under my breath because of how they’re so insistent on being heard that they will continue to evade doing the work no matter what it will cost them and free time later. I absolutely loved working with them wouldn’t trade them for the world it is the joy of my life.

I also found out my daughter is okay and I am happy about that as well even if she is just as stubborn as these young ones I work with she still comes out okay in the end. Happy Monday. I also completed my meal prep for the week so I have my shrimp with cheese sauce with some bow ties with chicken in a honey mustard sauce and macaroni with green beans and a cheese sauce came out really good happy with that meal eating healthy to help me function and stay well anyway good night.

Saturday shenanigans

I received 10 call’s this morning from 3am-6:45am from my child that I specifically told not to do something because timing was not right for it and things were not coming together for a reason and it would not be good for her to take this chance did she listen of course not.

She did it anyway and found out it was all a scam and was stuck there I’m really disappointed that she would do it but also okay with her learning this lesson the hard way. I told her God was trying to protect her from this but she was insistent on doing it her way so now look at the consequence of her choices. I’m sure she didn’t like that at all but I kept telling her she’s trying to fit a round circle into a square hole and it just doesn’t work that way.

What’s worst is she had my grandson with her on this crazy venture of uncertainty I know she’s head strong but sometimes you have to put other things first and this was one of those times I love her so much and truly appreciate her I hope she learned from this. Happy Saturday Peep’s

Happy Friday

Today was a good day I got out there’s some things I needed to do and enjoyed my day I hope all of you enjoy your day as well celebrate the people you love because tomorrow is not promised life is too short so live it to the fullest and enjoy every moment of it love those around you I love yourself always remember put what’s important first and the rest will fall into place have a great night.

Unexpected visitors

Today I had a pretty long day I was really tired and drained from dealing with very creative excited and overzealous 4th graders so by the time I was leaving the school I was exhausted. But that didn’t stop me from still leaving there to come home to a bright and happy face that I was glad to see.

When I left the school I had to do my usual routine picking up my charge and then heading to the house when I got here that bright smile greeted me at my gate I couldn’t do anything but cheese from ear-to-ear it was my youngest daughter I was really really happy to see her she had brought her two Siberian Huskies beautiful dogs and in tow she had my 6 month old grandson and her handsome boyfriend

I couldn’t do anything but smile because this was my first time holding touching kissing my grandbaby and the dogs were so friendly and pretty a boy and a girl I was really happy to have them here anyway that was the joy of my day good night.

Me and my grandson

TBT life events

Good day today I did my running around and some things accomplished I am always thinking about how to make my life a little better I honestly want a miniature Pinscher to be here with me my husband is always getting big dogs that I can’t do anything with because they are to hard to handle for me.

I use to have a Chihuahua he was a feisty little dog a very protective always enjoyed my time with him he lived to be 13 he was my companion my buddy we walk together did things he was always so independent I miss him every day.

He wasn’t my dog his daughter was I named her Cece she would run so fast and especially if it was a motorcycle she would go after it that’s what ended up happening to her she ran after car and ended up getting hit I miss her too. I have them both from puppies and watch them grow up when I had the best family. So that’s my throwback Thursday story enjoy the rest of your evenings.
