Attitude of Gratitude #1

I feel like I should do a post a day of things I am grateful for throughout November.

Pretty cool, huh? I thought so, too. :)

So here goes day number 1!!

I am grateful for this guy. He keeps me sane and treats me like a queen. I really couldn't ask for a better guy!! <3

Strange dreams

So, I have had strange dreams lately.

Sunday night/Monday morning caught me dreaming of Alana and what she's having. I dreamt it was a girl. (And I was TOTALLY RIGHT!!!)

Last night I dreamed I was filming in Downton Abbey. I don't really remember what I did besides filming with them, but at one point the scenery was just beautiful. More like New Zealand more than England. Haha

But anyway, it made me think of how I miss acting and how much I want to be in a show in front of people again.

Too bad I'm getting fat. Time for exercise?

Quick story update: I am on page 100 of handwriting my story. Yay!!! Not close to done, but it still feels great!!! :D

Some things just make teaching worth while

Got this today from one of my students.
Haven't figured out which one, but I think I've narrowed it down to the girls. Haha

Such sweet things when they're not being difficult.

"To: Mrs. Lee
From: unonumuse
"your a good teacher for me and your so nice and funny""

So, I'm posting over here today!!

Check it out if you want to win a painting by yours truly!!

Almost over

Break is almost over. I will miss it, but that means I get to look forward to veterans day, thanksgiving and Christmas.

Today is the last Friday of break. I have spent on average about 5 hours a day just writing. Yesterday it was probably 12 or more hours. I am on 65 of handwritten pages front and back.

I seriously have made the tip of my thumb numb from writing so much. I love the way this is turning out!! I hope I can get a lot more written before I'm back to being too tired after school to do anything.

So exciting!!

Also, if I were not a teacher, what could you see me doing to earn money?

October break

This break has been fabulous and stressful all at the same time.

Stressful because of dentist stuff.

Everything else is just wonderful!! I have been able to write more than 20 pages of my story in the past week. I have also had a constant itch I work on it.

I never knew how motivating an itch could be. I have never felt anything like this before. It feels like my arms have this itch deep on the inside and scratching wouldn't help.

The longer I'm off, the less I want to go back, but I will do what I have to.

I also had a blast helping Kara on Wednesday. Making faces and entertaining Henry was a blast. He is such a cutie!!

So here's some pictures.

Confessions

On my next story, I have a almost 30 handwritten pages. That means because of how small I'm writing, I have no less than 25 typed pages.

With October break here, I am loving the time I have to write!! I can't wait to maybe some day get it published. It would fulfill a dream of mine.

Here's to days of writing for fun!!
