Jamie's Special Gift!

This is my daughter! She has the kindest heart of any 7, almost 8, year old I know. She donated 10 inches of her hair to Locks of Love. This is her second time. The first time she donated her hair was 2 years ago when she turned 6, on her 6th birthday, actually. She tells me she loves her short hair. But when I ask if she's going to donate it again, she says yes! She's so sweet. She loves helping other people.

What truly makes me happy



Jamie and Faith are such great little girls. They play with each other for hours and hours, with minimal fighting. They love each other as well as me and Joe. They love God, and Jesus, what more could a mom want! They are well behaved and are heart broken when they hurt our feelings.

Without my faith in Jesus, nothing could make me truly happy. I thank God everyday for what I have. We all go through tough times, and I am no exception. My faith in Christ is what keeps me going through all of the tough times. I can't imagine my life without Him.

What gives you true happiness?

The Bourne Ultimatum



I love Matt Damon! I don't know why. He's pretty average looking, not a hunk like Matthew McConaughey. But he seems like such a nice guy, like someone who would joke with you but be so sincere when needed. Matthew is the fling type, while Damon is the marrying type. hehe!


Anyway, The Bourne Ultimatum, the sequal to The Bourne Identity is coming out August 3rd. I can't wait. I love these movies. I love the first one. When he gets hurt in the beginning and is hurt... (sigh) I just want to jump into the screen and make him feel better. You can bet that on opening night, I'll be at the theater watching this movie!

ACK!!!! What a day!!!!


What a day! I feel like a hamster running on a wheel that is getting no where. I forgot when Music was this morning for a student. Then we missed one more class in the afternoon. I finally got him into on at 2:00. Which works out because he has recess right after that. Then home shortly after that. Whew!


I missed a meeting for a transition for a 5th grader going to middle school. The teacher at the middle school was calling and calling out school. He couldn't get through for 20 minutes! I gave him my cell phone so he can call me direct next time. Then a parent came in to drop off registration papers. She came right in the middle of my working with a student. When I finally get down there, they have it all worked out. This was all in the middle of the time I should have been at the middle school. I'm a little frazzled now. YIKES! Breath in... Breath out... Breath in... Breath out!!!!!! :-)

Whew! I need a vacation from my vacation!

Spring break was a blast! My mom and sister came up to visit me and the girls for the whole week of Spring break. I didn't want to miss a moment with them, so I stayed up late every night. And I didn't sleep in every morning, so I'm a little tired. It was hard to get out of bed this morning.

My mom and sister got to hear Jamie at piano lessons, and see Faith at Gymnastics practice. That was fun. I hadn't' seen Faith at gymnastics practice for quite a while. We had to switch her to morning practice because she was napping on the way to afternoon practice. When we'd get there, she'd be tired and grumpy. She is doing so well! I think she might be able to go somewhere with it if she keeps it up.

I want to thank my mom and sister for coming to visit me. My mom taught me how to sew, which was great. I made two dresses. I'll have to get the pictures and post them on here. They turned out really cute! I want to make a curtain for the door in my classroom, and a cover for the girls' playground. I have big plans!!!!!!! And I want to sew curtains for my house. It is way cheaper to do that than it is to buy ready made curtains. :-)
