-Teaching is kicking my butt....even though this is my sixth freaking year. More specifically, teaching 8th grade math and U.S. History is kicking my butt. I feel like this is my first year teaching again...well, without the students getting arrested during my class part.
-Because of the aforementioned butt-kicking, I am kind of playing around with ideas about some other career options. I'm not sure what this would look like. However, Accounting has come to mind. I am also interested in health and nutrition but maybe as a supplementary career. Any suggestions of what I should be when I grow up are welcomed.
-I have decided to hand out Halloween candy this year. Yes, I realize that I may get a special spot in hell for that (shout out to Bob Larson--that was for you Coach Glenn), but it is my first year with a house and I want to meet the little kiddies in my neighborhood. Plus, I think it will be fun and fall-ish. And even though I was never allowed to trick-or-treat as a child, my parents would give candy out. Can we say mixed-messages?
-Thought for the week: Why couldn't I have gone to a normal college? Click here for details
-I am getting a free Craftsman edger and weedeater that my parents found in my late PawPaw's storage shed. Jehovah Jirah!!!
-I rediscovered a childhood crush on Craig T. Nelson this Monday when my home group watched "Troop Beverly Hills" (we are going camping this weekend and needed inspiration). Anyway, much to my surprise, my school required us to play a clip from an anti-drug movie this week starring.....Craig T. Nelson. Remember, this was the Craig T. before his "Coach" days so give me a break, people!!! How could you resist that bomber jacket???
-I went on a great run Saturday and had the best time with the Lord. Oh, how I've missed those times with Him. He is reminding me that he is worthy of my trust and my praise and that he owes me NOTHING!!! I have always been such a "fair" person and it is an ongoing lesson to trust in God's purpose, timing, and provision. But... we are working on it (:Well, that's all I've got. I hope that tides my favorite Cali-Aussie over for a while.
