Christmas Ramblings

I have no funny stories to tell or even any pictures. And I'm all about pictures. I'm just really dragging. Guess who woke up at 5:28a.m. saying "hello, hey, bye and thank you", yep you guessed it. So, I kinda feel like a new mom today( you know what I mean...exhausted, short tempered, and wondering around in a fog...or at least that is how I felt when I was a new mom :) The short tempered part only came out on the dogs and my students...and Adam sometimes. Come to think of it, I think I still have pregnancy brain. I lose lots of things and in the middle of something I will stop and say to myself "what am I supposed to be doing"? I half way do everything. Last night, Adam asked me why there was a letter "R" in our room. I forgot to take it back to Anderson's room. I guess that I am just trying to get things together for our house.

Anderson and I went to TJ Maxx and Ross today to try to find a comforter. NOTHING!! I will not pay $300 or more for a comforter set! Any good ideas?

We got some Christmas cards yesterday. Christmas cards make me happy. We got one from my Aunt Kim Drake who I love! I named all the kids to Anderson and then he pointed a few of the kids out and called out their names.

At this age, kiddos are such quick learners. I kinda feel like I should be teaching him about the American Presidents, Economics or quadratic equations(not that I know one thing about quadratic equations-ha!) Which reminds me, our waiter the other night was telling us that his son was 2 and they bought the series "Your Baby Can Read" and he swears it DOES work. He started telling me all about it...blah blah blah... I quickly started teaching Anderson about money and the president on it (who he just calls George) and I started telling him about how money has to be 4 components for it to be considered worth something. Adam quickly started telling me that I was NOT teaching our son Economics...yet! Oh well! Boy...you didn't ask for all that did you?!

After today, only 2 days until Christmas! And after that, 2010 will be here. Where has the year gone?!


My friend and former co-worker at Prattville High School, Laura, now teaches at a middle school in Montgomery. She wanted me to post this. She teaches this little boy and would like for us to pray for him. Please if you have a second, include him in your prayers!

Friends,
I am asking for prayer for one of my students, Logan Prickett. Logan is one of the sweetest kids you will ever meet but he had an accident a year ago and is still trying to recover. I REALLY want his Christmas wish to come true. He wished for his sight to come back and speedy recover. PLEASE pray for this sweet ......child. You can follow his story here:
Despite his disability he has a perfect 4.0 GPA.
This is the season of miracles. I KNOW he will recover and regain his sight. IF the children of God will pray, I know this Christmas wish can come true.
