Life and my 1st Graders

Life is too short for drama and petty things,

So, laugh often, love truly and forgive quickly.

Life isn't about how to survive the storm,

But how to dance in the rain!

I am going to forget the stress at work today, and think about all the wonderful children I was able to see, talk to and give a little of myself to. Who knows they may have a difficult home life to deal with and I need to give them something happy.

Guess I will concentrate on that and pray for a good day tomorrow!

Interesting Quote

I still find each day too short

for all the thoughts I want to think,

all the walks I want to take,

all the books I want to read,

and all the friends I want to see!

by ~ John Burroughs

Reading this quote makes me realize that I can never do all the things I have on my list of things I want to do before my life is over. Therefore to leave as much as I can for my family that I will leave behind someday -

I'm going to spend the day scrapbooking!

Doesn't that sound like a good reason to ignore my daily housekeeping list. If you want me I will be in my craft room today. Talk to you later!!

Sunday!

It is Sunday and I am missing something that is very important to me. Sunday Church!

Friday while walking down one of the halls of Harris Elementary all of a sudden a major, strong pain struck my right hip. Knowing that this is a Fibro pressure point - I thought 'no problem, it will be different tomorrow'. That is what always happens. I guess maybe it isn't Fibro, if not what is it, because it is still here.

Tomorrow arrived and I had multiple jobs on my Saturday list. Did the pain leave? NO! So then I had to think why. Of course, the point could be made "what in the world does Bette know". Most likely nothing, but I continued to try and figure out this problem. Haven't got there yet. Friday I was at the 1st step of the pain ladder, Saturday I was at the 2nd and fast approaching the 3rd step.

Pain meds during the night kept my pain sort of under control. This morning, I am hurting, so I am sitting, hoping for a better afternoon. Glad I have an extra day this weekend to get back to normal.

Therefore I am missing church this morning.

New Blog Background!!

Well, I wonder - did it work? The background changes is what I am wondering if it has worked. For weeks now since I have had background problems, when I look at my computer, everything looks wonderful. When I look at any other computer - it is an absolute UGLY MESS in capital letters. So......we will see when I go to school on Tuesday and check on another computer!!

Hopefully it won't look like this picture above - messy. I am trusting that my blog will be somewhat organized. Looking forward!!!!
