to bake, create, get gifts for people!!
because that's what i'll be doing most of this weekend :)
i went christmas shopping last night, and didn't have a huge amount of success in the actual purchasing department, but i think i know better what i'm looking at and have some ideas. plus, now i can order online and have it shipped back home so i don't have to worry about packing it. i did walk away from the shopping experience with some stuff from michaels to make ornaments/cards/random stuff with! and a lot of it was on sale!
i booked my tickets to head back to ga. almost a full week. it'll be good to see family and friends again!
today simply didn't start off well. i couldn't wake up this morning, which is a tad bit understandable because i was subbing for the lead teacher in the room and i needed to be there an hour earlier than normal, but it was still far too difficult. it's been a bit of a dreary day, so that may have contributed. i spent the drive to work with a chris tomlin cd. i got to work early and just spent the time praying. i just felt that i needed to be with God. i had (have) so much on my mind and it was seriously affecting me this morning! i could've cried a good, long cry. it seemed like it would be a really long day, and i wasn't sure i could handle it effectively in the state i was in.
but God answers prayers. it was an easy day at work and the kids were great. they came in slowly and we were able to relax and draw together as we began our day. with only a couple of minor blips from arrival coloring to singing them to sleep at nap time, it was a great day for the class.
a few other things semi-worked out as well, and so are no longer weighing on my mind as much as before.
God is good.
but you already knew that :)
