I can't believe Friday is here. This week has been *so* long and this day was no different. It seemed to drag forever and I am not quite sure how I made it through. Kids and teachers were both cranky and oddly enough it didn't affect me much. Mostly I just feel tired and unmotivated. I was excited about Rhi's tournament tomorrow until I found out it will be rainy and cold instead of the original forcast of sunny and cool. We went to Star Trek tonight and I thought it was very good! The soundtrack is quite amazing and I must have it! Once a trekker, always a trekker! (not trekkie which is something else altogether). What is up with Nimoy's voice though? He wasn't a smoker was he? It must be age. Something to look forward to...
Can a day get any longer? This time of year the days both fly by and drag at the same time. There are many last minute things to complete before school is out but the weather is so wonderful it is truly hard to focus! Spring fever is real and I am feeling it!
Tomorrow will be another long day starting with a little performance with my fourth graders. I will have Star Trek to look forward to in the evening though so that will get me through the day!Jon started his new job last week and *loves* it! He is really enjoys being in a small town clinic/ hospital. He already has lots of patients lined up and even a few that are switching from their current Doc to him. He will have tomorrow off so he can go and buy our tickets early. This is one of the main reasons he gave up surgery and went into Family Med. One day a week off and a much better "quality of life" schedule as opposed to "quanity" $$$$. Song for tonight-I woke up to this on my alarm radio the other morning:What About Now-Daughtry
"Shadows fill an empty heart
As love is fading,
From all the things that we are
But are not saying.
Can we see beyond the scars
And make it to the dawn?
Change the colors of the sky.
And open up to
The ways you made me feel alive,
The ways I loved you.
For all the things that never died,
To make it through the night,
Love will find you.
What about now?
What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?
Baby, before it's too late,
What about now?
The sun is breaking in your eyes
To start a new day.
This broken heart can still survive
With a touch of your grace.
Shadows fade into the light.
I am by your side,
Where love will find you.
What about now?
What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love, it never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?
Baby, before it's too late,
What about now?
Now that we're here,
Now that we've come this far,
Just hold on.
There is nothing to fear,
For I am right beside you.
For all my life,
I am yours.
What about now?
What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?
What about now?
What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?
Baby, before it's too late,
Baby, before it's too late,
Baby, before it's too late,
What about now?"
I have been trying to get out and work in my flower gardens whenever I can. Working in the earth is very relaxing and also rewarding when you see the fruits of your labors. I guess alot of people have decided to "go green" and save money and as a result all of the community vegetable garden plots were taken up this year. So, no vegetable garden for me but that means I can spend more time on my house which I need to do. I started by taking down my old dead morning glory in the front and by planting some flowers in the little strip of dirt underneath. Buried in the dirt was a little piece of paper with the message "I miss You" written on it. I know it is just a piece of trash that blew over but it still made me smile in a sad way. I thought of my mom and of Heather and other people that have left my life and I felt like perhaps they are thinking of me sometimes. Not a day goes by that I don't think about them. Song for tonight:
Think of Me-Phantom of the Opera
"Think of me, think of me fondly,
when we've said goodbye.
Remember me once in a while -
please promise me you'll try.
When you find that, once again, you long
to take your heart back and be free -
if you ever find a moment,
spare a thought for me
We never said our love was evergreen,
or as unchanging as the sea -
but if you can still remember
stop and think of me . . .
Think of all the things
we've shared and seen -
don't think about the things
which might have been . . .
Think of me, think of me waking,
silent and resigned.
Imagine me, trying too hard
to put you from my mind.
Recall those days
look back on all those times,
think of the things we'll never do -
there will never be a day,
when I won't think of you . . ."
