I haven't blogged in sometime but that doesn't mean that I haven't written. I have actually reverted back to journaling. There's just something that is so fulfilling about picking up that little black, leather bound journal on my nightstand a jotting down my thoughts for the day before bed. Its amazing how quickly the pen moves across the paper and even more amazing how quickly the thoughts come to me... it's like having a conversation with myself. It's refreshing, it has been exactly what I have needed to get me through this crazy busy time in my life but in order for some of you (grandma*wink) to keep up with what's going on... here I am, "Checking In" on the blog. :)
WEDDING BUZZ - Three weeks until I am a married woman. As much as I complain about the work... I can't wait to marry the man of my dreams. I thank the moon and stars everyday for such a wonderful man. The wedding is going to be beautiful. I have spent so much time on DIY projects and made some absolutely beautiful decor, as well, as surprising myself by my craftiness. Everything is lined up. Now we are just on a countdown for the days.
WORK BUZZ- I looped with my kids and it was the best decision I have ever made... when they came into my first grade class last year, many of them were non-readers-- now, they can't keep their noses out of books! They know themselves and readers and are constantly teaching me about who I am as a reader and what I know about reading. Today was one of those days where I learned something. We are currently studying the genre of historical fiction. We have been reading many historical fiction books. Today when I challenged them to think about what historical fiction demands from us as a reader their responses were out of this world incredible. I could make a list of their awesomeness but that is besides the point-- I guess, today was just another day of truly loving my job.
HOUSE BUZZ- I hate being a homeowner. Ok, not really. Just when your basement floods, you have to get a pipe replaced, your yard is filled with leaves, and there's not enough the day to fix it all. That is all. :)
CHARLIE BUZZ - Well, Charlie is everything that Josie is not... he is the craziest cat I have ever met in my life! Everyone keeps saying that it is because he is still a kitten. I am not so sure. Truthfully, I think he is missing a brain or the one he has doesn't work. He keeps us on our toes and laughing for sure! I will try to get pictures up of him. He is getting big so fast! My nephew, CSB, was over for Halloween and he asked, "Aunt Sissy, Where is your little bitty baby cat?" I laughed and pointed to Charlie who has put on 6lbs since summer.
PROUD AUNT BUZZ - Speaking of CSB-- Did I mention he is reading wayyyy above grade level? Yes, I am a proud aunt and I brag any chance I get! :)
Well, that sums up my life in a nutshell-blog. I'll check back in soon. Mwahhhh.
