Surprise, surprise...

once again the day started off kinda dreary. don't remember sleeping.
thunderstorm, rain and lightning tho..what a magical thing to watch. i did don't you worry.
tried to sleep a little later than usual. didnt happen. made my normal morning trip to panera. its bad when they fix it before you even finish parking and have it ready to go for you. [:)] but i tend to like that.
talked to trav on the way there. put a good smile on my face. normally i'm at work before he leaves. :) welcome to the future huh. ;)
it was rather chilly this morning. had to park somewhere different this morning. my normal parking wasn't working out. got to play with the crossing guards a little bit this morning. haha... waited til they got back in the car and comfortable[and warm] then popped around the corner and made them get back out to let me walk across the street.
it was great.
voice is still gone. so teaching scooters didnt work out to well first block. but its quite entertaining.
so the rest of the day i've decided to do volleyball. that way i can play and not talk as much.
yeah my teams have dominated.
one game though was down to the wire. 17-16, 18-17, 18-19, 19-19, then we pulled ahead. 4 girls vs 4 boys. yeah we won 20-19. then i blew the whistle...:) not giving the boys another chance to score.
then they were begging for me to be on their team . i loved it.
lunch...wow.school taco salad. not sooooo good. when normal teachers decide they aren't going to eat in their today when they normally do...yeah u know its a sign. so i didnt bother touching it. just ate my apple sauce and cream corn.
saw one of my fav kids at lunch. actually several. but this one...he's a hard one to control. wanted me to sit with him. nah need a break from them. sat by myself. lil peace.
ready for day to be over. ready for the basketball game. my boy dwayne :( last game. gonna be good. can't wait. very anticipating.

day has been good. kept me from thinking. thats a good thing. very hard to do. sure i'll be back at it again though in a few....but hey maybe there is a surprise in store later. a thoughtless mind. that'd be great.

we'll see...

"Rainfall"

The clouds turning shades slowly,
deeper, darker as the sky dims.
Casting shadows on the ground,
the music drifting, begins to pound.

The wind shakes, begins to rock the grass,
threatening tunes of high and low.
Down on earth, the lightning flashes a picture show.

One sweet drop of rain,
those big burts open, falling down.
Heavy loads, light sprinkles...
darkness glows, heaven twinkles.

Sky so deep it lasts forever,
rumbling music just gets louder.
Waiting anxiously for that beautiful soun,
falling in place all around.

Sit in honest, majestic sky
glaring upward, its wonder I can't deny.
Holding on, to what might be,
letting go in all i can see.



its beauty fell upon me once more today.
the heavenly skies opened up.
gave me a new outlook.
i was holding on too tight.
something i couldnt see before, but has never been clearer.
something that you can't fight for alone.
its funny to find all your answers in the weather.
but thats me, and exactly what i did.
sometimes you just have to let it all go.
even if its confusing.
and you dont understand.
even if you can't figure out why.
take a step back.
look for a different point of view.
see it from a different eye.
dream a different dream
it'll lead you back to what you want.
atleast thats what i can hope.
