Good morning my happy friends and family! This morning I was at my mom's house and was happy to help her get some bills and filing taken care of. Ma, if you are reading this, know that sometimes I get frustrated but it is never with you. I'm glad that you are feeling a little better and I happy to always help. And know that you can call me when Dad is bugging you and you need a break from him! Lord knows he bugs me sometimes too but he is trying the best he can! Boys are so not the people to go to when you want a sensitive ear or piece of advice. The latest thing I was told was "build a bridge and get over it." At first I was offended by this, but it is helpful to hear the hard side of things sometimes too. I was *pissed* about a week ago at that comment but actually appreciate it now. (Not that this comment was meant toward mom, but these are just my random thoughts.)
Anyhow....not sure what the day has in store for me. I have about 180 tests to grade, a pile of laundry and probably some dishes to do....but...
I WANNA GO ON A MOTORCYCLE RIDE!!!
Some of you may not know that yes, I am a biker chick....here's the pic to prove it! This is me and our friend Jim at a bike run this past summer:
Kris bought this bike this past summer and has recently purchased a trailer to tow behind it for long trips. If you know me, you know that I am NOT a light packer and I told him that if we are going on long trips we MUST get some more room for me to pack my stuff....gotta stay cute on trips!!
At this time Kris is laying on the couch, watching TV with his friend the kleenex box. This is the first year that BOTH of our allergies have been acting up BAD. He is SO congested and it seems to be worse when there are piles of laundry or dishes to do....hmmmmmm.
Anyhow, I suppose a shower is in order at some point today. Just wanted to do a little post even though there isn't much going on at our house......hope you all have a great weekend and remember to enjoy the simple things. Let me leave you with a list of simple things that I love. Have a great day!!
Things I love:
*sleeping in, fresh sheets, extra hot lattes, kisses on the forehead, my mom saying she feels good today, puppy breath, stargazer lillies, fettuccini alfredo, pumpkin muffins from Starbucks, wine and pizza nights with Jen, when my friend Jess and I belly laugh and she speaks spanish, belly laughs, when a students 'gets it' and the light bulb comes on, Kris' smile, hot showers, hugs especially from my mom and Kris, evening motorcycle rides, BBQ's, going on walks, holding hands, picnics and soaking up the sun.
I'm sure there are more but I really gotta get some house stuff done today!!
