Good day, bad day

Do you ever notice that when you have a bad day, something small or large always occurs that makes you a little thankful and in the end you can actually say that it was in some ways, a good day.  Today was like that.  

Yesterday Drake left for his Youth Pastor's retreat for 3 days and (completely unrelated) I felt like I was starting to get sick. Well,  after I fell asleep with the absence of my usual cuddle, I woke up at 3am with a sore throat and completely dry mouth, not to mention a really stuffy nose.  I downed some water I had by my bed and went back to sleep. 

 Then again at 6 am I actually got up and ran myself a bath.  It helped and I fell asleep on and off in there until about 7:30 and then went back to bed until 9.  This is when I slept through my alarm and phoned work right as I was supposed to be there to let them know I'd be late, but God granted me the day off and I got to stay home.  :) First blessing.

Then I had a lunch date planned with a lady from church and we still met and had a good conversation.  But in the middle of it, an older man walked up to me and handed me this picture he drew of me while I had been sitting there.  Cool!  A little weird, but cool.

  So here it is and an actual pic of what I looked like today so

 you can compare (since the sketch looks like a guy and not female) LOL.  Also, after Kathryn and I finished our "date", she even took me to her house to get some salt for the sidewalk outside (since it's completely sheer ice!).  What a blessing too!  

I went home and read some OT Bible and then had a nap (I was feeling quite tired by now) and when I got up, I had supper and was able to Skype with my sis Candis in Singapore.  :)  All in all, an ok day.

Daycare War Wounds!

So early December I realized just how DANGEROUS it is to work in a daycare!  Haha  Those little suckers have small but sharp little teeth.  I received this bite while intervening in a situation between a one and a two year old.  Well, at lest the other child didn't get bit and at least it didn't break the skin.  It went away in a matter of days, so no harm done!  :)

(And for your reassurance, when the offending child realized what they did- biting a teacher instead of another child, they looked pretty scared and knew it was wrong right away.  Lesson learned)
