Thankful
I am so thankful to be feeling better. A bit of a cough and a slight headache are all that remain from the upper respiratory infection. Praise God! Bobby, his mom, and my sister all got it as well. Not fun. As Bobby likes to remind me, "You are not a great patient." He is so right. As a single mom, EVERYTHING depends on me (income, bills, house, yard, etc) so being sick is a *BIG* inconvenience in my life. I praise God that I was the worst during Sunday and Monday which were the days that I was not working. Tuesday through today...I had to give the summer administration of TAKS which involves lots of talking and walking which if I had been very sick then would have had to cancel. God is good because he knows the extra income is for the wedding.
Good news is that I leave with Bobby and his family on Saturday. One whole week in the mountains. Fishing, golfing, swimming, and just hanging out. Lots of fun and I am looking forward to it immensely!
I also am excited because I got to meet with Abbie Reyes today. She is our new addition to the Spanish department. She taught 5 years in White Deer and is an *EXCELLENT* Spanish teacher. My twin in teaching methodology and pedagogy. I love her and am so thrilled to have her on board. We will have an amazing, amazing, amazing group of teachers this year in our department. Whoop! Whoop!

Something Fun
For Today
Outside my window: Dark since it's so early. I have been sick (upper respiratory infection) so I have been up trying to get a control on my "uncontrollable" cough.
I Am Thinking: About giving TAKS exams this morning and if my voice will hold up or not.
I Am Thankful For: Feeling better even though I still need a ways to go. And also for good friends who were so sweet to me during my time of illness.
From The Kitchen: Nothing but hot tea, lemon, honey, and vinegar. I ate a little of some yummy chicken pot pie that a friend brought by.
I Am Wearing: black capris, white "bling" shirt that Bobby got me for my birthday, and a sweater (I am cold for some weird reason?)
On the 'Go Organize' Front: I organized my closet last week. No organizing this week due to illness.
I Am Going: To go give TAKS test this morning and then I will most probably come back home to rest even though I *REALLY* want to go see the movie, Despicable Me.
I Am Reading: see yesterday's post for a list of what I am reading. With being sick, I can't seem to focus in order to read. Every time I try to read, my brain gets muddled and foggy.
I Am Hoping: That vacation time with Bobby's family this weekend will be fun.
I Am Praying For: China Mission Team from our church. They leave Thursday.
I Am Hearing: our new kitty, Willy, playing with the blinds. He's so funny.
Around The House: Getting ready to go on vacation and making sure Anna, my 20 year old, is okay all by herself for a few days.
One Of My Favorite Things: Starting to finally feel better. I want to feel 100% so that I can go to Amarillo to see, Despicable Me & use my birthday gift cards (Target, Starbucks, Hastings...)
A Few Plans For The Rest of The Week: TAKS exams (I am the proctor/administrator) every morning this week. Trying to get 100% better and over this illness.
Have a great week everyone!
