long week....

This week was long! Maybe it was because the grandparents were in Virginia for Uncle Gerry's funeral. Maybe it was because I worked out at the gym with weights this week. Impressed? Or maybe it was because I designed everyday this week plus last night and this morning. whew! Regardless, I am ready for a GNO, date night or something really soon!

Thursday, I was asked to sub in the class across the hall from Kylie. There were some really sweet girls in that class and I made a point of introducing them to Kylie on the playground. You know, just in case she gets tired of playing "popular girls" with her current friends or they start telling her that she can't play with them on the playground like they are currently telling everyone else. LONG sigh :(

I walked into the empty classroom while the kids were outside and met the Homeroom Mom from that class. I started talking with her and found out some very interesting things. First off, she is a current breast cancer survivor. I was amazed by her strength and her story. We started talking about our kids and low and behold if she is not the parent of a precious girl in Riley's class that he adores!  I blogged about it previously. So, I am looking forward to getting to know her better in the future.

Sometimes, it is such a small world that we live in! I also happen to think that God nudges me just a little in the social department lately. Since we have moved here, I haven't exactly felt like going out and recruiting friends. I have a group of friends that I do things with and they are so much fun! But as far as branching out and meeting people here and there, I have a little bit of a shy side. I'm not that peppy cheerleader that I once knew anymore. I have baggage now! ha! So much for being perfect! :)
