new

i have a new job. and it is super crazy!  but i really like it. i work with the troubled elementary kids. by troubled i mean learning disabilities. like being deaf, blind, or just flat out have a learning disability. it is so crazy. these kids really know how to wear you out and push your buttons.

but i really like it. a lot. after having been a cashier for the last 6 years of my life, i am ready to try something new. and this is something new alright! but so great. i sit there and work with the kids, teach them how to spell, and we try to get some of them to talk because they have a harder time doing so. some have a hard time asking questions. others have a hard time talking when they are called on, like they are so scared. but they are so cute.

on Thursday i worked with this girl Mickynlee. and she was a handful with a sassy attitude. she is 100% blind, so we try to make her use her cane. and she doesn't like that. every few steps she drops her cane and then starts laughing. like "ha ha what now?" i'll tell you what now. i force her to bend down and pick it up, tell her to find my arm, then we go a few more steps, and we start the process all over again.

there are sometimes where i want to scream and run around in circles like a crazed lunatic. but i don't, well not in front of them at least. i usually let a scream or two escape my lips as i drive home. i fight to keep my sanity every day. but like i said, i like it, a lot.

beware.

i have myself a new T.V. show. good news, this one isn't one that leaves you hanging.
granted, it leaves you wanting more because you just cant wait to watch him solve another mystery.
also, it is incredibly funny. totally laughed out loud.
each episode is an hour and a half long. so it's like its just a movie, with some sequels.

Little Lucy.

I found out about 30 minutes ago that this little angel was taken from this world.
My heart is broken, and i'm a water faucet that has no valve.
My prayers go with her amazing family. So strong and stalwart.
May God be with you Lindahl's.
It's times like these that i think,
"Keep calm and know that this is God's plan."
