Thursday...almost Friday...

I tell ya, this week has flown by! It hasn't been all that noteworthy, but for whatever reason I am really wiped tonight. I do have a few tidbits to share:

1. Testing has continued and has built my character. My most frustrating moment came on Wednesday when I was reading to myself the first story of the test that the students had to take for the day, and I wasn't even done with the first story of about 4 on the test, and a student turned to me and said, "I'm done." ARGH. Seriously...that boy is smarter than that.

2. Homegroup was a lot of fun last night. I find myself thanking God continually for the blessings he has given me in the Church Family I am a part of. Years ago I was trying to find a new church and prayed for a special group of people, and He has given me more than I could have ever thought or imagined. Gee, I'm pretty sure I read that somewhere too...

3. I was reminded that there are some really good people in the world. I had a friend who needed to find a car seat for her nephew who was coming to visit for two weeks, and I put it on our school district trading post asking for help, and a gal offerred me her car seat. When I explained the situation, she said that was fine, and if I ever need it again to let her know. I tell ya, there are some really nice people in the world that want nothing in return. Just to help people. Very cool.

4. I got a call last night from my former landlord. I had sent a nice thank you card for all that they have done for me over the past 5 years, and honestly had wrestled with leaving the way I did. I wanted to give them more notice, and move out in a timely manner. That plan was obviously thrown out the window, as I moved out and gave less than 30 days notice. I had contemplated the whole deposit aspect of it all, but had dismissed it because I figured I moved out quickly and didn't go back down that road again...literally. I didn't care about the money. What is important is that I'm in a peaceful environment now, and I figured that was worth losing the deposit. Well, as it turns out, he's sending me a check for the deposit and wanted to let me know what a good renter I was, and he wished I was still there. That blessed me. I left in a hurry, without notice, and I still get the deposit back. Once again, I was reminded that there are some really good people still in this world. Very cool.

5. Finally, I went over to a friend's tonight to tutor her kids, and had a ball. I think it's going to be a weekly thing, and I am so excited. They are NEAT kids, and I am blessed to have this family in my life. Very blessed. Life is good.

For now, I need to sleep. Tomorrow is Friday...I am ready for the weekend!
