This morning on my way to school I was sitting at a red light and a girl pulls up next to me. The first thing I notice is she is drinking coffee. Then I noticed her windshield wipers were on high, and it was not raining. She continued drinking her coffee and eating her granola bar while her windshield wipers just kept going and going. I couldn't help but laugh. Then I thought about the conversations me and Missy have had about windshied wipers, and how I should call Shayla and tell her what was going on because she loves my stupid stories. And how if anyone in the world would be doing this I can see Erin just doing it to make someone laugh, and Schro doing it just because she forgot they were on...

My first graders continue to be pretty good entertainment most days. Tuesday morning we were short a sub in first grade so my teacher covered in a different room while I was THE teacher in first grade, with no lesson plans. Well except math, but that wouldn't keep them entertained from 8-2. We all survived. 

Thursday of last week the mayor of Lubbock announced the city was in a state of emergency because of the 7 inches of rain that had fallen since that morning. I was already finding trees and putting my plans together to build a boat. I figured two of each animal would show up if it continued to rain as much as it did. It made waking up in the morning and smelling rain very enjoyable though. Much better than the feedlot. 

Ryan came for a visit on Saturday afternoon and he met all my crazy friends and we went to the football game. It was good to see him, hangout, and prove to my friends that he did exist. He only stayed for the day and drove back that night. But thank goodness FAMILY PICTURES are this weekend, so excited, so I will be travelling to Amarillo. 

I am still working on consistently reading the Word. Last night I was stuck on the verse in Job that says, "Am I not enough?" And I realized He hasn't been enough for me in the past, probably not even right now, but that is what I want. I also read that the things of this world are like spiderwebs, we just get caught in them and they fall down, so do we. We get tangled in things that don't even last, that are so thin, and not worth trying to hang on to. I really enjoyed Schro's post about the simple things in life. Trust me, I am simple. I enjoy the smell of the air in the morning when the sun is just coming up. And watching the sun start to rise when I go to school. I also completely agree with the post Bick wrote about actually listening to songs or actually understanding what you are praying to or for. And Erin's graceful post. They all seem to be posted at a perfect time. 

Erin I watched the whole Cowboys game on Monday night and I realized once again how much I love football, even though it was the Cowboys. I saw a poll that ranked the Cowboys 1 and Steelers 2. Superbowl party anyone? 

Guns up.

Go Steelers.

Have a great rest of the week.
