Thankful Thursday, never too late!

I know, I know, it's Friday and I'm just now posting my "Thankful Thursday". Yesterday was a hectic for me, so I'm TGIF! Thank Goodness it's Friday!

Today was a good day at school. We had a half day so teachers could work on report cards and work in our classroom. I love these days to lock my door and work in the peace and quiet. Don't get me wrong, I love my job and teaching, but I enjoy catching up on my piles and coming up with new activities to do with my class. There have been several "changes" this week at school and I have been reminded in my weekly Bible Study about rebellion. When you hear the word "rebellion", it seems so harsh and negative and in reality--it is. However, so often we sugar coat our attitude and what we are really doing is rebelling. I have been convicted to confess this as sin and try to be more submissive to the earthly authorities that God has placed over me. Every week I'm amazed at how God uses this Bible study to meet me where I am in life.

We were told today that we had to stay until 3:30 to work in our classrooms, but we received an e-mail this morning and we were told we could leave at 1:30. I always have great intentions on leaving early, but I can get so much done when my students aren't in the classroom. I didn't leave till almost 3, but I'm ready to go for Monday morning!

This week I'm thankful for: earthly authorities in my life; Bible Study; friends that pray for you; school leadership that let us leave earlier today; the WEEKEND!

I love Tuesdays!!!

I love Tuesday's because I get to treat myself to a manicure and once a month a pedicure. Today was the day to get a manicure and a pedicure. I took a new dress with me to match with my nails. I picked one color and it was too orange, so I picked a different color. I'm going to wear the dress tomorrow to school. I will post pictures of the dress in the next couple of weeks. I was talking with a friend on FB and she told me I should post a picture or two, so here they are! Can't wait until the next mani or pedi!

Forgot one more thing

I forgot to add one more thing that we did this weekend. We took Cooper to the groomer's on Sunday morning. That was hard to get up early after the time change and losing an hour of sleep. We had to be there by 8am. We dropped him off and headed to Panera for a quite and cheap breakfast. (I love gift cards!!!) We then headed to church. After church, Mike took Cooper home and came back to church to get me so we could meet the Kessie's for lunch. I'm glad Monday is almost over and Friday is a half day of school!
