Spring Flings




Do you ever have periods in your life that you feel
Scattered to the wind? I do.
Not that anything is particularly wrong...
Just nothing is particularly right.

Scattered to the wind. That's what I am.

The Calm Before the Storm...

Wonder if those nifty weather people
Got it right this time

Same Name Conumdrum...

Boy duck, quackin' away, as you can see - (so typical) -
while girl duck listens intently to him - (so typical): 

"Hi, I'm Jamie and this is  Jamie!" or
"Hi, I'm Chris and this is  Chris!" or
"Hi, I'm Lou and this is  Lou!" or
Hi, I'm Dale and this is Dale!" or
"Hi, I'm".....etc., etc., etc....

We have five kindergarten and 4th grade classes, then four of all the other grades (through 5th) at our elementary school. The powers that be are very careful to separate all twin and triplet units - never will any of them be in the same class. Understood. Could somebody then please explain to me the philosophy behind having two kids with the same first name in the same classroom??? Excuse me, there are at least four classes to disperse kids throughout but the two with the same first name end up in the same classroom?? Just how does that make any kind of sense?
 
We screened the kindergartners yesterday. There were 3 pairs of kids sharing the same first name in the same class. Now doesn't that just make a kindergarten teacher's job way too easy? O bother!

A Day for Pondering

Day before my birthday.
How am I living my life?
Grandly...or just good enough?

Guess it's time to ponder me.
O what a joy that should be!
How do I view my reality?
(sigh)

I'll clue you in if there are
Any AHA! EUREKA! moments.
Try not to get too excited about that.*

P. S. I have many many blessings in my life and I love every single one of them! It's good to be alive - and each day I get to live this life of mine is a treasured day. But it really is good to ponder at least one day a year, and the day before your birthday seems a good time to do that. Must go ponder now!

*Thanks to CG for most of that last line.
