Doing something dangerous...

I was just sitting here thinking (that's where the doing something dangerous part comes in)....

1- These past two years have been filled with a boatload of ups and downs... but my boat is still afloat!
2- I can't believe it is only 10 weeks until the end of the school year !
3- Days like last Saturday's trip to Andersonville are like trips down memory lane... especially when some of the people who drive are some of my former students !!!   eeekkkk!!
4- My voice is a little gravely today--maybe that's why 3 out of 4 of my classes were quiet for me today..  Whatever it takes !
5- I have seen evidence this week of the writing talents of both my children-  Travis with his beautiful ode of love to "his Lindsea" and Sarah with her grasp of Spanish still after all these years.  When I read her comments to her friends in Chile and couldn't read what she said, I thought how cool it was for her to still be fluent in Spanish!
6- I am looking forward to the family reunion this year.  Cant wait to see if little Derek still "loves" his aunt he has only seen once, and maybe I'll even have a few tricks up my sleeve to liven up the place this year! 
7-I find I am surrounded with negativity as the main ingredient in many places I go these days---Maybe that is why sometimes it is easier to succumb to it instead of trying to summon the energy to fight it or maybe that is why I find myself purposefully isolating myself from it at work...
8-I am anxious for this weather to settle into the beautiful spring weather we all deserve.  It is so hard to get out and walk when there are icicles hanging from your nose or the wind chimes are blowing straight out! 
9- I realize that I don't have to refer to my history textbook these days in order to teach because I am teaching about the 1960's-the present time.... Oh, No!!!
10-I think my brain is tired from thinking so hard today, so I'll say Good night and let the little cells rest :-)
