Feeling Blessed

Hey, Y'all, I've been kind of lurking lately...empty nest syndrome and such...getting better! Well, I just finished my first week with my new students, and it was great. This is the first year in ages that I have not been winded walking up and down the hallways. I thought the little ones laughed because of my size when I danced, and I used that extra bounce for all it was worth. Well, obviously, they were just laughing at my dancing because the laughter has not subsided. It also seems that the kiddos dance with me more now!!! Usually, I come home and immediately go to bed for the first few weeks. I have not been as tired this year. Wooooo Hooooo!!! I feel so much younger! Another blessing: One of my favorite foods is Reese's. Well, I have a little one who is highly allergic to peanuts, so this favorite food is not ALLOWED in my classroom. (I also have to wear a lovely and stylish emergency kit everywhere I go. The kiddo is soooooooooo worth it!) How's that for heavenly dietary monitoring? Things are looking up. 1) I talk to Drew, my son, who now lives in Trion, every day, and he has made new friends and has a new job (Please keep him in your prayers!) 2) Gregg INSISTED that I buy a new purse, and I did. 3) We are going to see "Wedding Crashers" tonight. I've heard it's hilarious!!! Thank you, Lord! Can't wait to see you all next Saturday! Hugs, Becky

Becky, You always make me smile! WHen I read your posts I can always visualize your smile and hear your laugh. Can't wait to see you! Hugs, Tonya PS_ My baby started first grade this morning. We are very excited about his teacher. She's really creative and special person!

First Grade, Oh my!!! The only bad part of the school week was seeing my former students with another teacher...in first grade...LOL! Glad your baby has a special teacher! Yay!!! Becky

I second what Tonya said, you are an inspiration to all here, and my baby starts 1st grade Monday as well, we went today to meet her teacher and she seems Pretty nice. Can't wait for her to start Monday, but I will definately miss her, it will be toooo quite around here. Love ya girl, Melissa

Hey, Melissa!!! I've been reading your updates! You're coming along, Girlfriend!!! I know you will miss your angel, but I would recommend that you go back to bed and sleep late at least the first wee****il you get into the whole school routine again! I hope your sweetie loves it! Love YOU!!! Becky

I want to see your dance while the rest of us are singing at the karaoke!!! I'm glad to see you posting again - I've MISSED you! Much Dee Dee

I second that...I wanna see Becky's dance. Hopefully there won't be another wardrobe malfunction. HAHA!! Sorry Becky...couldn't resist! Too funny! Hugs, Tonya

You and your hubby know good and well that it won't matter if there's a wardrobe malfunction! Hugs, Becky

If there are cameras present, I probably shouldn't dance. If it's seventies music, I can do a mean BUMP!!! Oh, I can sing an average alto. Preacher's kids have to learn to sing harmony and play an instrument! Can't wait to see you!!! Love, Becky

Hey Becky I lurk quite often myself now, I am always glad to read your posts Many blessings to you this school year Take care Michelle
