Today was a good day!

Nicolle and I totally played "hooky" today..We had some days promised to us for a training that we went to and we used one (it will most likely be the only one that I use). We had a great day, first we started with breakfast at Peg's Glorious Ham and Eggs, it was glorious! Then we moved on to a bookstore and bought a "smut" book that everyone has been raving about, its called Fifty Shades of Grey. I'm not a big romance novel reader, I remember reading some Danielle Steel when I was a teenager and imagining that my life was going to turn out like some rich lady who humps her gardner because he's so amazingly handsom and pays more attention to her than her rich husband. Fortunatly my life did not turn out like that, I am neither rich nor humping my gardner. I digress, so off to the mall next so Nicolle could get the first manicure she has had in 16 years, I told her how fabulous it was and when all said and done, it was. I think I will make time next year to make time for myself in my already hectic life. Sometimes a cruise around a bookstore with a good friend does a lot for your soul. Now I am really excited for summer vacation and more reading time and time with my family. I will work hard to fit in some 'me' time..Until then I leave you with this...I'm tippin a 40 to my friend Nicolle..and we didnt even have to break out our AKs...today was a good day..

Wow, what else?

Today my beloved husband pointed out to me that I am " a mother of one, a wife, a teacher and a master's student" geesh! When you put it that way it sounds like a lot. Here are some other things that I would like to add to that list:
Sister
Daughter
Friend
Music Lover
Bookworm
Funny
Interesting
Loveable
Serious
Life long learner
Awesome and committed..

When you think about everything that you do throughout your daily life, I think its important to reflect on the other things that make you, you. For example, I love music, depending on my mood this could mean a variety of different types. Music is the soundtrack of my life, when I hear a song it takes me back to a part of my life whether its happy or sad. Today the mood is happy and content. On Mother's Day the mood was accomplished and fortunate..Different things about us define who we are, the important thing is that whatever defines you, you feel it in your soul. I am a mother and a wife and a teacher and those things permeate my soul. I am so very, very lucky...
