a day in the life of....

...a music teacher!

early last week we were driving around when princess announced she wanted to be a music teacher. this really wasn't new to me as she has mentioned it several times this year. we were talking about it and she asked if she could spend a day with mrs. witmer. at first i just said no. but then i thought, why not?
so i contacted my dear friend and ran the idea by her. she checked with her principal who gave his approval and cheers were heard all over sycamore hill! this afternoon whizboy and i dropped her off for her "teacher for a day." she was so excited. i mentioned she might have to talk and she shocked me when she walked right in, said hello, and never hid behind my back!
mrs. witmer brought her home after school and said it was a great afternoon! thanks so much mrs. witmer:)
as for whizboy - he said this might be the only week he can say that a weekday was the best. we had picked the makings for a picnic lunch. i didn't have lunch meat so the plan was to go to the store and grab some turkey. well, can i just say that was the best martins EVER!! we walked in and even he was in awe. he kindly mentioned it was a bit cold, windy, and now raining. did we really want to eat outside? so i grabbed him some fish and fries, fixed myself an amazing salad and we headed to the upper deck for some lunch. then we headed to the local coffee shop for a smoothie for him and some yummy coffee for me. we played a game of scrabble had some interesting words. then we headed home with a stop at grandma's for me to cuddle the baby and him to catch some more espn!
by they way, in case you were wondering, whizboy has high hopes of me making arrangements for him to be sports broadcaster of the day with our local sportscaster....that may prove to be a bit more of a challenge, but i sure am gonna try!

2021 word: rhythm

 as i began to ponder all that i had learned about myself in 2020 i found amazing places of adaptability, leadership, and change.  those are great strengths and proved to be valuable in 2020, however those same things left me feeling a bit out of sorts, unanchored.  i know my life needs to find some grounding again.  i told my husband yesterday and a friend today that i am not looking forward to 2021.  no big plans. no vacations to look forward to.  several things are already cancelled and leaving some voids at work.  but really...there is nothing like being an incredible social person and realizing 2021 has a looming sense of loneliness when my girl takes on college. with this in mind, i knew i needed to find some ways to reclaim myself; putting space into my life filled with things that bring joy and peace.  there are things i need to continue changing physically, emotionally, spiritually, and relationally, yet discipline is not in my skill set.  it freaks me out.  constrains me lead

me, on politics

i despise politics. i never liked it, but i married a man fascinated with it. a man who wanted to be part of it all...and was, briefly. boy were our eyes opened... anyways...it seems like this election has several hot button topics. one of which is universal healthcare. my cousin started a blog called politics for mom and there have been several heated debates going on. i was reading several comments on healthcare. and frankly i was bothered! now, i don't know that a strict universal healthcare is the answer, but i do know that we have now doesn't work for the average person. here is our story.... hubby worked in a small business - 3 employees at the most that i can remember. we paid 1/2 our insurance..until it came to the point where our half each month was twice what we would pay if we were on our own. but for the owner it saved him money. so he agreed to cover ours in full. we were very grateful. i also know at times, that because of the healthcare cost, it was a struggle f

the word...

new year.  new decade. new word.  i started the habit of choosing a word almost exactly a decade ago.  each year the word has evolved and helped shape the year. well, this year is quite likely the exception.  or at least i thought it was.  my usual yearly reflection takes me on a journey through the year where the word has evolved into something entirely different than the road i envisioned. and usually i am in awe of how God used that word. this year was strange.  looking back on the goals i set, i see failure, not awe.  now before you go and tell me i am not a failure, i did fail at the goals i set.  truly.  goal 1:  grow and develop in a healthy way.  nope.  ending the year with extra instead of less.  attempted, yet didn't follow through on many health plans.  goal 2:  grow spiritually through meditation, scripture reading, and community.  nope.  ending the year with little reading and loss of church community that grieves me deeply. late fall i started pondering thes
