Picture Post!

So, I was thinking since my last post tended to be a little negative, I needed a positive post to quickly balance it out.

Ergo: Stevie.

Here he is with his football sweater. Since it’s blue, he was “going for” the Colts  during the Superbowl, according to Jared.

Yeah, we think he’s pretty cute.

Which is why he gets away with things like (and this one was too big to fit in a thumbnail, apparently:

Stevie getting comfortable

I also got a new look when I visited Utah in Thanksgiving. It’s not that different, but it’s been a long time since my hair was this short. I like it. (this one was too big to fit in a thumbnail, apparently)

All right. That’s enough good stuff for awhile, methinks. Bed time!

On insanity

On insanity

Being a teacher of 7th grade is insanity.

Duly noted.

Adding on top of it the accepting of the church calling Bear Den Scout Leader and having to deal with 8 rambunctious and excitable little nine year old boys DOESN’T HELP ANYTHING.

Especially when they start singing songs from “Enchanted” at the top of their lungs… mostly on key. Yeah. Really.

Last night I told the bishop of our ward that it wasn’t like I was busy enough spending over 40 hours of my week with a bunch of 11-13 year old kids. Why not add a couple hours of nine year old boys in there too? I definitely wasn’t making productive use out of my free time, so I got a second calling on top of that too.

So now, I am officially The Bear Den Assistant Scout Leader AND Assistant Something of the Committee Formally Known as Enrichment.

I’m mostly joking about not liking all that. Mostly. Most of the time it doesn’t bother me at all.

Most of the time.

But I can’t help but wonder if maybe that is why I am home sick yet again for the 100th time this year.

Aren’t you supposed to get some sort of blessing or intrinsic reward from all these niceties and service?

I’ll be more cheerful tomorrow. Promise.
