My son is 18 years old today, and I am wondering where the time went.
Jesus is risen! Hallelujah!
All ready for testing this week!
My classroom is back to normal!
I have to avoid stinging nettle in my yard, or else I will have a reaction and spread the "wealth" all over like I did last summer. Grr!!
I tried this yesterday, and I did not keel over. I did modified push-ups and low-impact jumping jacks to save my knees.
is awake at 3:01 A.M. but would prefer to be asleep. Off to the recliner! Grr.
is remembering 9/11 today.
I crashed last night but was awake for nearly two hours before I fell asleep again. I must make sure I get to walk three or four times per week. I need that time outside!
Banygirl is married now!
I saw my son, and I made sure he had food to take with him on his return trip to school. I miss him terribly.
This is my first iris of the season!
I am glad it is Friday!!!
I am dragging this morning, but it was worth it. My 19 yo son wanted to watch Nanny McPhee last night, and it started at 11:00 P.M. Sure thing, son! He is home for the summer from college, so every moment spent doing spontaneous goofy things is precious to me.
It's National Iced Tea Day!
It's National Corn on the Cob Day! I'll be celebrating later on today.
This is me with my husband and son after lunch. We had been to the worship service first. #family
It's National Jerky Day!!!
#SummerBegins
Roasted vegetables I serve during the summer months. I use McCormick's Vegetable Perfect Pinch. There are NEVER leftover veggies!
It's National Graham Cracker Day!!
Heading to church this morning.
I love my one and only son. He is a blessing from God!!!
Four miles today! #runkeeper
I made beef enchiladas (cazuela) yesterday for lunch. My son was happy to eat seconds!
I also did dumbbell flies, crunches, and stretching.
I teach sixth graders, and I am earning my fellow educators for possible madness tomorrow. Rest up tonight! 😜
Christmas has officially been taken down at my little house on the prairie!! #BeforeAndAfter
Rod Woodson says only twenty-six days of school remain. Woohoo!
I did some strength exercises. Now I get to walk for about 20-25 minutes before getting ready for the day at school with my students. #21DaysOfSchool
Yesterday's step total. #Movement
Hip hip hooray!!! I overachieved my walking goal today.
Fourteen days of school. #countdown
Thirteen days left in my school year. I had to crop the picture, but the text below says "when student behavior is like Halloween, Field Day, Valentine's, Full Moon, Friday. Every. Single. Day." #truth #tiredteacher #worthitintheend
With my little sister yesterday at our mama's choir concert.
I have four days of school left, and the students are eager to be out, but we still have work to complete. And last night was a full moon. You see the point, no?
Beef enchiladas I made on Thursday for dinner
I feel good after taking care of laundry this afternoon.
I worked on my iris beds last Thursday and Friday. Whew! #GardeningGoals

I need to find this book since I have awakened so frequently these past few days. Perhaps the excessive rain has disturbed my rest. I think it is a call for me to pray, so I will. Good "night," again.
