someday

I really enjoy life when it's quiet and uneventful.

The air is cool and the sky is the delicate color of a robin's egg. The dog is hiding from children, under my computer desk, keeping my feet warm. Ty and his cousin are playing NICELY. If only the fucking dog next door would shut the fuck up.

Life is good, right at the moment. It might not be in an hour or two, but for the moment, I kinda like it.

The boy is now laying on the floor writing his alphabet. I am amazed at how far he's come in so little time.

When I was in high school, we had the option for advanced ed classes if all of the basic requirements were met for the year. I enrolled in a class where we learned about children and eventually became teacher's aides. I loved it. I was an aide in a second grade class and I was then, and am now, amazed at the general sponginess of their brains. I love to watch their faces light up when it finally clicks; when they finally realize that this is the way you do it, to get this answer and it is right! I wanted to be a teacher back in those days, so enthralled by shining little faces was I. And then I got married and worked so my husband could go to college and then, when his courses let up a little bit, I enrolled and my mom got sick and so on and so forth. Maybe someday, I'll go after it. Maybe. I do still love watching the light turn on in a bright little mind. Someday.

P.S. I found a new blog that I really like.... Nurse Ratched
