thank you ladies for all the encouraging words and WONDERFUL ideas. you all are so sweet. :) i am feeling a little better! but i still feel a little down, it will get better though -- i am sure of it.
so halloween was this weekend! did everyone have a good time?! mine was pretty good. friday night my church had a hoe-down -- complete with a square dance caller! it was a lot of fun. square dancing is HILARIOUS. and line dancing is a blast. i seriously want to do it again...pronto! i was going to be belle for halloween, but at the last minute i decided to dress up as a 50s girl! it made me realize how much i'd LOVE to live in the 50s! they had such fun outfits. plus, everything was just sweet and innocent back then; people just had genuine fun. i think we could use a little bit of that (a lot of that) in today's world.
saturday was pretty fun too. i spent some time in the chapel which was good. then i went to my friend's halloween party. i didn't dress up this time. i just felt like being me! :)
then yesterday was ALL SAINTS DAY! pretty much a fantastic day in my book.
guess what! my tuesday and thursday classes got cancelled for this week...a much needed break! too bad i don't really have time to enjoy it. i have so much work! although i'm not gonna lie - today was a beautiful fall day spent in prayer, pointless driving(we all could use that once in awhile, right?), a little bit of homework, a walk & hot chocolate with a good friend! pretty much a great day.
now onto that homework... maybe. :)
the other day i learned that my little first grader i tutor is "testing my authority." i need to learn to be more authoritative before i actually have my own classroom. that is definitely going to be my downfall as a teacher! sheesh!!
Hope everyone's week is off to a great start!
*edit*
yes justine is right..SUNDAY was all saints day. i keep thinking today is monday hahaha. thanks justine! :)

I wish I lived in the 50's, too! It was a million times better! I think.. haha
ReplyDeleteAnd Sunday was All Saints Day, silly. Yesterday was All Souls Day! :)
Yay! glad you're feeling at least a little better. I'm sure you'll be back to your normal, happy-little-ray-of-sunshine self soon! :)
ReplyDeletei've always thought that the 50s would be the perfect time period to live in. i agree, everything was so innocent and simple. dating seemed so cute back then too... sharing a milkshake and then going to the sockhop! who wouldn't love that?? :)
i went to a lecture the other night about parenting. the rabbi who led the lecture was telling us how he teaches people how to walk into the classroom on the first day that they are teaching so that they establish who is in charge.
ReplyDeletedid you post pics of your costume?
