BMW 750i

This is $96,000 worth of fabulousness.

Green Plant

Green tiny plant stands silently alone.
Leaning to one side over the rim of its home
The green plant breathes air into my soul

Blue Towel

A blue towel soaks up each ounce
Demanding my opaque attention
The blue towel becomes lucid in my mind

Weather and Play

I love wathing my children play outside. They are so creative with the things they find in the garage to occupy their time. The weather is so perfect right now. As they are playing, the zeal of parenthood overwhelms me. They are so precious and bring so much life to my world. I love that their motives for fun and life are so opaque, unlike the adults I often come in contact with. Beyond the arguing and the whining, my children embrace any instance of anomaly. Their deviation from the conventional objects of playtime shows that their lucid understanding is phenomenal.

Feeling like urgh!!!

Since my car hasn't been working, we are using only one vehicle. So, I
haven't had a chance to go to the gym for an entire week. With so much
going on, I haven't noticed that I have not been to the gym until this
morning. We celebrated Jacob's second birthday at CiCi's pizza.
Buffets are so sinful. Even though I did not overeat this time, I woke
up with awful cramping. I cannot wait for my car to get fixed so that
I can burn all the calories and fat I had this entire week. Perhaps,
it is really a good thing that my body now recognizes when I haven't
eaten right.

NYTimes: Your Baby Is Smarter Than You Think

From The New York Times:

OP-ED CONTRIBUTOR: Your Baby Is Smarter Than You Think

Babies and young children are designed to explore, and they should be
encouraged to do so. Children learn more through natural interaction
with a parent and play than with any toy.

Bed at Batte Furniture

I am saddened about my awful experience at Batte Furniture. I really
believe I was treated rudely because I was black. However, I did like
this bed. It was gorgeous. Yet, the retail price was $6,000. It wasn't
that gorgeous though. What do you think?

Return to Work

Open House is today. I will meet the sixth graders and their parents today. Perhaps, they are as anxious to meet us as we are anxious to know them. I remember my sixth grade year. We were the oldest children in the building at Water Valley Elementary School (now called Davison Elementary). I felt almost grown as the younger students looked up to us. The role of sixth grade in our school is different. The sixth graders are the youngest. The experience of sixth graders almost resembles freshman year. I am hoping for a great year.

Yoga

As I am lying on my back smothered under my bedclothes, I am beyond exhausted. I don't feel as if I accomplished as much today. I was very anxious and just couldn't get focus. I was high-strung today, but I knew that I had to go to yoga tonight. I am so glad that I did. Even though I came home and took a shower, I could not muster up any energy to clean up. Yet, mentally I am recharged and feel so much better I am not as stressed. Yoga is my new outlet. It fulfills my life and blesses my body and soul.

Wow!

Last Day

I cannot believe today is the last day of my summer vacation. Work begins tomorrow. Not sure that I am excited. Maybe you could describe it as being anxious to start. I wonder how many children with special needs will be assigned to me. Last year, one of my students committed suicide. So, this year will be an interesting year because his little brother will be at our school. He looks just like my student. Perhaps the reality of not being able to come and go as I want is no longer available! I am wondering what new changes have occurred. I do know that we have a new principal. He was one of the assistants from last year. I don't know just hoping that this year is better than last year.
