Tired. Spring. Fever.

Only 5 more working days until Spring break! I can't wait! :)

I've already planted several species of flora, to include: Delphinium, Cosmos, Sweet Pea, Echinacea, Larkspur, and Lupine. I am hoping this year is much more successful then last year with the plants. I suppose with time, I'll get better at it. As long as my evil dog does not terrorize them as if they are delicacies.

We are coming up on 5 weeks into this beachless vacation and things seem to be looking brighter. There isn't a second that goes by that I do not think, yearn, or wish my husband was home. I find myself observing people more. I see women who are so unappreciative of what they have, unappreciative of the man that cares for them, the man that supports her family, and a man who is there in body. I overheard a woman today criticize her husband regarding his dish washing capabilities. The criticism turned into a huge argument in the milk department. I think to myself, wow...seriously..have you nothing else to be so ungrateful for.

My husband is wonderful at dishes, but horrible at folding laundry. I would give anything in this world for him to come home and horribly fold my laundry. In fact, I would be ecstatic to watch him so ungraciously fold our laundry. At least he would be here. At least I could tell him face to face how much I love him, how much I adore him, and how grateful and proud I am to be his wife.

I am so grateful for our military and the sacrifices they make each day for our well being, our safety, and our security. I wish people would stop and realize how good they have it and how precious time is.

I just graded over 300 papers for my students, I don't have time to individually score each and every one of them...as long as they tried they get 100%. I'm in a grateful and gracious mood. I hope for their sake I feel the same in the morning!! Muahahahaa! :)
