Tango & Samba

I got 2 kittens today! I'm SOOOOO excited!!! I named them Tango and Samba - and I'll post more about them later - I'm going to go play! :o)

heavy thoughts....

Something has been weighing on my mind lately. About two years ago, I did something horrible to a friend. I did something that completely betrayed that friend's trust. I have apologized to all involved... I have spent countless nights crying and praying for God to forgive me. However, I can't forgive myself. My mind is still filled with guilt. It shows up when I least expect it, and I feel horrible. I know that this is my consequence for my actions. I know that I have absolutely no right to complain, because I brought this on myself. I just wish that I could move on. *heavy sigh* On a MUCH lighter note - Tim and I are going to pick up my kittens tomorrow. I need some lighthearted frolicking!

immaturity

I have never been so frustrated with an 8th grader's lack of maturity as I am right now. I'm at school...sitting in my office during my lunch break because I need to calm down. I'm so frustrated and angry at my 8th grade class that I want to spit, or curse, or kick something. I can feel the anger making me tense. Why? Why can't they just act like normal human beings? Why can't they just act like they are in the 8th grade and not like they are still wearing diapers. I feel SO sorry for the few in the class that know how to act with decorum. I want to hug that few.... if only they could influence the rest.

kleenex

I think I just watched the world's saddest movie! I've never been a "movie cryer" but lately those things are really starting to get to me! "Message in a Bottle" just made me bawl! (Glad I was alone so no one could laugh at me for crying at the television!) Any other "movie cryers" out there?

Engagement!

Michelle and Bubba (two awesome friends of mine) are engaged! I'm so excited for them!! YAY!

graduations and flower gardens

Been a while, eh? Yeah...sorry 'bout that. (Does anyone read this thing, anyway?) Today was "8th grade graduation" at school.... the 7th grade band performed "Pomp and Circumstance" as well as the "Alma Mater." I must say - they didn't dissapoint me! They did a very nice job and maintained decorum throughout the ceremony. I was very proud! Yay! Then, I came home... finally, and Tim and I went to eat at El Sombrero. (My favorite Mexican resteraunt in Macon.) Dinner was followed by a trip to Wal-Mart. (*L* It usually is...) I decided that I wanted to add some color to my balcony, so we visited the garden center. I know have a full-fledged balcony garden consisting of 2 window boxes, and two plant stands. It makes me smile! (Mom- I even planted purple petunias in honor of Granny Norman.) Only one week of school left. WHOO freakin' HOO! :o)

No more Field Day!!!

I have now survived 3 days of field day. (Along with an hour of moppin' bleachers everyday afterschool...) Tired and glad it's over! Tomorrow is Tim's graduation! Yay for him!

Field Day

When I was in school it never occured to me that my teachers hated field day. I mean, who could hate field day?!? It was an excuse to get out of class, play games all day, and finally have a chance to flirt with the cute guy in the other seventh grade class. Well - I have seen the other side..... OMG! I'm sunburned and I ache.... Muscles I didn't know I had ache.... I've washed my hands twice, but they still feel sticky from all of the soda bottles I had to clean up off of the gym bleachers. And - today was only 6th grade. I've got 7th and 8th to go. Whew.... better get some sleep now! ~L
