Last of the Day's Photos

Not sure what a cute caption for this would be, but couldn't resist posting the photo. I promise I wasn't holding Barbara back, and she didn't knock her daddy down.

A happy and beautiful Barbara returns home. :)

My Beautiful Baby Girl

Tonight is the big homecoming game at Ben L. Smith High School in Greensboro, NC! Barbara has run for Homecoming Queen, and used her last summer paychecks to buy herself a beautiful dress. But the girl makes it beautiful. I know I'm her momma, but she is just a very beautiful person- inside & out!

Dropping her off at school tonight, I couldn't imagine this night long, long ago!!! How quickly it has all passed.

Just a quick photo or two before we left. She just looked so happy and beautiful.

Her good friends, Rita and Shaleesa, came over after school to help fix her hair and do her makeup. :) Such good friends they are!!!!

Going Back Up the Hill

Well, after a couple weeks of being overwhelmed and stressed- not to mention grumpy and discouraged- I felt better today- my moods that is. Thank GOD who truly is the "lifter of my head," and thank my wonderful daughter who prayed for me a couple times yesterday and whose prayers were answered.

I spent almost the whole weekend (don't fuss at me Momma) in my classroom, cleaning, moving, reorganizing, and preparing for this week. We'll see how I feel at the week's end, but as of today, I felt so much better about my room and the "stuff" going on inside it. I hated spending so much time there over the weekend, but if it helped me get more caught up and feel this much better, than it was time well spent. Tonight I was able (with Matthew's help- thanks kiddo!) to get a HUGE-MONGOUS pile of papers from last week checked and "stickered" and entered into my record book. Wait until Elba (my assistant) sees the pile of papers to sort into kids' mailboxes tomorrow. YIKES!!!!

We'll see how I feel after three days of after school meetings, but no matter what I thank God for giving me a better day today. The rest of the week will keep me hopping busy between planning meetings in 1st & K, running Barbara to find shoes for Homecoming, balancing my checkbook, paying my bills, getting a haircut hopefully, and attending the big homecoming game Friday night to watch my baby girl in her beautiful dress. :) It's going to be another crazy-busy, but hopefully better week!

I'm off to sleepy-land.
Night!
