Epiphany

Cleaning up right after the mess has happened makes cleaning so much less of a big deal. Wow, who'd of thought my mom was right all these years?

I am pretty lucky :)

I had a fun day. The stress has eased a little bit and things have settled for the moment. I loved dance today. My students are seriously precious, every single one of them! Especially that Lydi of course! And Jackson gave me the biggest tightest hug when I came in for a water break. I am so lucky that I get to teach these awesome kids under the same roof as my family. I actually get to go in and get a tight squeeze from Jack in the middle of work (if you can call it that). There are some things about it that can be hard or a little stressful but the actual teaching is so awesome!

There is one little girl (just turned 3) who never dances and today I just had an idea pop in my head. Ok so it was a form of bribery but whatever the case she danced! She looked so cute doing it too and she actually knew the routine (or could follow pretty well). It was a fun success for me tonight. Good day.

Self-Mastery... or not

Every time I think I've come along way in the way I react to life and trials and that I'm doing pretty well, I get slammed. That'll show me! Don't worry, nothing serious. Just some SERIOUS stress. And then being sick on top of it. Lessons from this weekend: 1.Its not personal, its just business. 2. Never let a pompous unhappy business man make you cry. 3. Its just business. 4.Sometimes being sick is just the right thing to make you relax and get a break, (thanks Jar). 5. Chill out, life is so much more than the meaningless dealings we have day to day, why stress? 6.Almost any stress or ailment is cured by a good book, popcorn and Reeses. 7. And one more time, its just business. CHHIIIILLL. That used to be my motto and now I'm stressy bessie. I actually have called a couple of people cuss words this week hahaha... I'm going to find away to get to a beach, put my butt in the sand and my toes in the water and enjoy my family one of these days! Until then I'm just going to laugh when I want to cry and sing when I want to cuss. (that should be interesting)

p.s. go to my family blog because you have to see Lydi's cool Halloween costume!!
