As I go through my daily life I continually realize how blessed I am.
I hope my family knows how much I love them. When I was a little girl all I wanted to be was a wife and mom. God has answered my prayer.

Back home
Well were back in lovely Texas where its still 100 degrees.
Our suitcases are unpacked and groceries have been bought. I guess its time to get back to business. As of tomorrow I'll be at school from 9:00 to 6:00 with an hour and a half lunch break. No more working 11:00 to 6:30 with no sanity break. :)
I'm happy to be back at home to help Patricia out. One arm is in a sling and the stitches on a finger on the opposite hand. Thank goodness her faced didn't get messed up and she didn't get hurt worse.

Friday
This morning we went to town to run some errands. I've been intrigued by a sign that has been catching my eye for the past two weeks that says "Fresh Strawberries." Bill being the best husband in the world followed the signs through unknown parts of town until we found the strawberry farm. There energetic young men picking strawberries.
We are now in the process of making homemade strawberry jam. I love making homemade edibles. :)

Vacation
When its fifty degrees there's nothing better to do than bake cookies. The final count was 83 cookies. We delivered cookies to neighbors to make their day sweeter.
Bill caught the first keeper of the year. We saw a northern pike out by the front reeds unfortunately he wasn't interested in our bait.
The next day Bill had good luck again. The fish I was catching were a joke.
We made two trips to the Farmers Market to buy killer zucchini's so we make zucchini relish for the year. Bill was disciplined by the farmer for mishandling the zucchini's and possibly bruising them! We didn't it was possible to injure squash.
Yesterday I had a lesson on how to drive the row boat using the trolling motor. I'm happy to report that neither Bill or I fell over board and I only went in circles for the first five minutes of the lesson. My hat is off to Bill he makes controlling the boat look easy. :)

Summer time
Its already 94 degrees here in Texas. I don't want to think about what the temperature will be in July and August. We have to keep sun screen applied to the toddlers numerous times a day and keep them hydrated.
Friday was promotion day at school. The mature 2 1/2 years old girls moved to the Preschool 1 room. Two boys were supposed to move up its sad to say they weren't ready. Now we now have eight new toddlers that have to get a comfort level at this school.

Another week
The scare of the swine flu has passed at school. Now we dealing with toddlers having strep throat
numerous times and outbreak of head lice. I have nothing to fear with dealing with head lice because hair dye kills them on the spot. :)
The big excitement in the toddler room this past Wednesday was when one little boy didn't want to handover one of the two hard plastic airplanes he was playing with. Sharing wasn't an alternative but hitting the other boy in the head was. Its amazing at the amount of blood that comes out of a toddlers head. There weren't any stitches needed which was more surprising.
Today I spent five hours in a training seminar. I have to have a total of fifteen credit hours per year at this school and I don't like to procrastinate. Ten credit hours down and five to go.

A easy week
Thanks to the scare of the swine flu the number of toddlers that have ventured out to school has dropped. There's usually twenty seven toddlers in all. Yesterday there was only seventeen.
Instead to taking care of the little cuties we've been sanitizing toys and bleaching naps mats. It looks like a hospital when you walk in the front door of the school with having three huge bottles of hand sanitizer.
Hopefully people will stop freaking out and life will go back to normal. Whatever the meaning of normal is.

Happy Easter
I don't think there were any sonrise services in Plano this morning. It rained all night long. Will, Patricia, Bill and I went to the first service at our church to be the crowds.
This afternoon were having our Easter meal with seven families from our church.
