Too sleepy and kinda giddy

Hello friends! I'm not my chipper ole' self today. Our electricity went off last night and it woke Anderson up at 2a.m. He didn't go back to sleep until 6 a.m. and neither did I or Adam. We are EXHAUSTED!! I'm not quite sure what he's doing. Maybe since he's going to be the BIG 2 tomorrow he is going through the motions of being an infant again(just for remembering sake;) Kind of a sign to me...you don't want another baby ANY TIME SOON! Ha!

I was too tired to take pictures today(cause I feel like a mac truck ran over me) and so I have no pictures of Anderson.

I want to share this sweet email from one of my former students that I got today on my facebook account, just cause I get to feeling sorry for myself sometimes and think I'm not a good mom or good at anything else either. Let me give you a little background on her. She was in teh 6th grade when I taught her and she was FULL of attitude and SPUNK! She is being raised by a single mom with 5 other girls and her mom is a great mom. She has always kept those girls in line and very respectful.

I was ALWAYS very hard and strict with my students(especially at the first middle school I taught at) it was an all African American(VERY POOR) middle school and there was little ole' me who was...well. As white as they come. I had to learn to get strict and I did. At lunch I would make the girls place their napkins in their laps and keep their elbows off the table kinda thing ;) Hey, the learning never stops. And I figured, some of those girls didn't get that at their home.

I'll stop now and let you read what Fredriatta says. I can't help it, I know you're not supposed to feel prideful, but I just do, reading this. It made my day~possibly my whole week. Boy, God always knows exactly what we need at exactly the right times!
