woohooo
crazy time
i'm on bootcamp with kal
and very pumped
i'm in the middle of my work week
i woke up and forgot it was the 15th
my son walked out the front door with his baby sister in his arms
and a though that i seem to be having more and more lately
passed through my mind again
Lord he looks like his father!
our son was heading off to his second day of 'work'
he's got a job with his dad
what a lucky kid
a father AND a dad
i smiled :)
others should be so lucky
i couldn't find my car keys
i found my work keys
i was late for work
i caught sight of the date on the calendar
still couldn't find the car keys
i cried :(..
my precious friend & school registrar left work to collect me
bonus, there was a dance incursion, i was NOT late for my first official class of today
i smiled :)
my boss smiled and laughed when she heard i'd misplaced my keys again >.<
i smiled too :)
i smiled because her laugh was a laugh of someone who knows me well
i laughed too :)
because it's something i do
misplace my keys
ˑ all ˑ the ˑ time ˑ
my deputy laughed and asked if i'd checked the car door
because that's where i'd found them the last time i'd misplaced them
i laughed :)
and said no
but thank you for remembering where i'd left them the last time i misplaced them :)
i smiled :)
i wrote the date on the board, like i always do
i swallowed a lump in my throat
and looked to a photo of our kids
one of many photos i keep in my classroom
and i wished they could wrap their arms around you
i wished they could wish you a happy birthday today!
no more birthday hugs :(
s'ok i gave each one of them a hug and a kisses today
and gave thanks that i get to see you everyday
in them
i smiled :)
then i realized i too have a bullet proof positive attitude
i just need to stop sometimes
and take a big breath
and
believe
that
i have what i need
in any situation
:)
and then i found my keys
wrapped up
in a little girls dress
with a $1.30 in change
and a little gingerbread man
and a little gingerbread man
on the same little girls bedroom floor
o_O
and it dawned on me
it's not always me that misplaces the keys
sometimes someone else has them
or knows exactly where they are
and
POW
my life became an analogy
again
.
.
.
and things quietened down
.
and i had time to post just the right picture for my bootcamp homework o_O
now my card reader won't read
go figure
so instead I'll post this
last time i posted i was getting back into the swing of creating just for me
inspiration led to this...so many people are full of joy
and arms and legs at the moment
:) it's a joke..get it ((>.<)) ok so it was a bad joke
at least i was trying :)
anywhooooo
.
.
.
back to my story
.
.
which led to family and friends sharing a special night for me
my piece
in a gallery
after being chosen to be a part of the HARTZ awards
and it was sold before the welcome speeches
and I have orders for two more
i'm doing a series of them
yeah, you couldn't wipe the smile off my dial for days :))
want one too?
let me know
:)
but be quick
i'm only doing 26
i have the first in the series
the second sold on the awards opening night
:)
sometimes it's the little things
that mean
so
much
and sometimes it's so much more
☝☝☝
this is Ninji
isn't she beautiful?
i look into these eyes everyday i go to work
and they inspire me
they make me want to get creative
and so does kal
"creativity is the passion that drives me
and the ideas that inspire me"
