What a difference a day makes

So today, I was driving to school thinking about how calm I was feeling for how close we were getting to the holidays and how I didn't have everything done but I wasn't stressed.

8 hours of teaching later...

I went home totally stressed about everything that still needs to be accomplished. It may have been not getting everything I wanted to get completed taken care of at work. But whatever it was, it made me stressed for the rest of the evening.

December Holidays

So, today I was looking at Kwanzaa Candles (Mishumaa Saba) online so I was ready when, and if, students asked about them. And I found this menorah.com website. Now, I don't participate in the celebration of Hanukkah, and so I found it odd that they had so many different styles. I found it almost mocking when I saw that there were animal ones and different sport ones. I don't get it. I mean I thought it was supposed to be a sacred thing. We don't wrap baby Jesus in a Blue's Clues blanket in the manger scene. You know? It just seemed really weird to me.

First Time Bidders

So, last night, Sonny and I put our first bid in on a house. We don't know if it will go over or not. But we did it. With the uncertainty with both of our jobs, we don't know if we hope they will say yes or no. We will wait and see.
