Sick and Tired!!

Well, Well, Well, how are all of you doing this wonderful day. It is Friday! That is saying something wonderful! This is my cat Tucker. I put him on my page today because I wanted to remind me of something cute, kind of funny, and something totally relaxing. You see, I have pneumonia. I'm stuck at home (very gratefully!!) but feel very sick. This is why I picked this picture. Tucker is one of those laid back cats that doesn't care about anything.

Wouldn't that be a wonderful gift to not worry and take things one day at a time. I think that would be a precious gift. I seem to worry quite a lot. To know what was important to worry about and what not to worry about would be a great gift.

Maybe that is the test. To know that worrying isn't part of our Heavenly Fathers plan, but having Faith is a part of our Heavenly Father's plan. Have a great day, and stay well.

A Wonderful Family

I don't know how many of you have met my family, but this is my family. Neill and I are in the back. Becky is on the left and Sydney is on the right. Jacob is on the left and Dustin is on the right front.

My family is great. I didn't think I would ever have this opportunity, but it came around in a different sort of way. I love my Heavenly Father so much. He has blessed me greatly.

Kids Say the Darndest Things!

As I have been teaching in school all week I have had some kids tell me some of the darndest things. I have a little first grader that has Down Syndrome. She is the cutest little girl. She came to my class and as we were walking to my classroom she said, "Mrs. Thomson last night I pluked on the floor and I pluked on the door knob, and I pluked in front of the toilet but I pluked in the garbage can." I just tried not to laugh. She was trying to say that she puked, but she could not say that. Instead she could only say she pluked. Then I had the same little girl and another little 1st grader. I was teaching the rule "when two vowels go walking the first one does the talking." The girls chanted it very cutely and then I asked one girl to go get the books for reading time. She got the two books and put them in front of each other. She said, "when two books go walking the first book does the talking" in a very high pitched girly tone. It was a very interesting week when "kids said the darndest things."

Tired and Ready for Bed!

Today has been quite the day. I have these 2nd graders that have so much energy that they just can't calm down. They are wired to say the least. We were playing a game with word wall words today. With the 2nd graders I was working on my compurter and one of them came over and said to me "Mrs. Thomson you need to take a break! Working so hard on all of this paper work is going to drive you nuts."

Needless to say I am home working on paperwork trying to catch up and trying to stay ahead of the game. Anyway, have a great night. I am going to bed.
