Mean while, teacher contracts are coming out with some SERIOUS cuts, got a speeding ticket (while daydreaming of my life's drama), both cars go into the shop this week, and I'm planning to be back in the home full time. No one ever told me as a child that life would be "This Way"... (title of a song I am working on:) I'll post it when it's finished). But it is.
I AM RESPONSIBLE!!! even when it's not my fault (not that I am faultless, because I'm not lol). I was chatting with a fellow teacher about the excuses children in our classes come up with and she said: "I mean how much of what happens am I in control of?! Not a whole lot."
Wow, that really hit home! When I was taking pictures of my kids and niece on Easter Sunday, I thought... they are so happy! Not a care in the world... How did I get here? I know it's not a coincidence that this happened... Life is sometimes unfair, and with some of us, even relentlessly unfair... but you have to roll with it. Nope, I don't have a 7-step self-help guide to a better life...just FAITH, and a candid observation. Enjoy these photos of the kids...ENJOYING life.

ReplyDeleteErika, great post!!! Kids are great! I am thankful that my son helps Jacob and I center our priorities, desires, hopes, and wishes each day. I love my job as Mommy!!!! Your kids are growing so fast and they are sooooo adorable. ~Talesha
ReplyDeleteChildren really make you appreciate the little things in life...because they do. Our kids are just so fascinated with everything! The stuff that we normally drive by and don't even think anything of (the farms, the cows, how blue the sky is...) Guess we just have to learn how to slow down and enjoy what we've been blessed with. SOMETIMES THAT'S HARD IN THE HUSTLE FROM DAY TO DAY!
