Wednesday Already?

Since I last wrote, I had a very productive Sunday. I went to a new church. It was a great place. The congregation was so small. I am guessing there were less than 25 people there, and I may be stretching that number! They were all so friendly. I attended the fellowship after the service and sat and visited with a few people. I had a cup of coffee and some 16 bean soup with crackers! The message was about answering God’s call from the book of Mark. Do you think I will know if God calls me to service? Maybe he is telling me not to teach? What do you think?

Afterwards, I went home and called my son’s wife. I asked if I could pick up Isabella and take her to the library. Isabella loves playing on the computers at the library. She and I visited the library for about an hour, and then she asked to go to my house. We spent a little time at my house, and then I took her home and stayed for dinner. It was a wonderful Sunday.

I have been booked to sub all this week. Monday was 3rd grade. Tuesday was Middle School/8th grade. Today was 4th grade. Tomorrow and Friday I am booked for Middle School. I don’t have a clue what grades for tomorrow and Friday.

I got an email yesterday from Hallmark. I didn’t get the job. Oh well. I knew I had to have been one of several applicants.

I have been so exhausted lately. I think staying up late over the holidays spoiled me. Getting up again between 4:30 and 5am is taking its toll on me.

Today, one of the 4th graders asked me if I knew how to jump rope. I said I did when I was a kid. He handed me the jump rope, and I discovered that I could still do it! It was fun; I didn’t want to give the jump rope back…lol. Next week will probably be jumping on a pogo stick…lol! I remember trying to "mountain board" during student teaching. Mountain boarding is like riding a fat skateboard. I crashed into the ditch! I was OK though. The kids were scared and raced over to check on me. I told them I was just "stopping" to get off the board…lol.
