My life right now. Kicked the kid off me, and Daria took her shot. She wins. Too tired to fight with her tonight.

When I had three jobs and a lot less stress. I loved that time in my life. And somehow I had more time for loving my life. Le sigh. #ThreeJobsAndALife #HowCouldThatHaveBeen (at Nacogdoches, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpSnq2ynPOb/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ead2nxhbppo7

Work of heart. She was so happy with how it turned out. The chrome duct tape on her wellies was a little hard to get off, but totally worth it! I even made the correct patches for a US astronaut. #CraftyDevil #ProudMomentsInParenting #ParentWin #MissThisParentingTime (at Nacogdoches, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpQUkE-nOPF/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=juoq5t6z6dsa

Day Three on new medicine combination. It's like my soul is resting from the months of insomnia taking over. Ready to even out and catch up on all the sleep I have been missing. Because it has been the reverse of my usual. Instead of being awake for most of the day, I have been asleep for hours. Oy... #NewMedicine #InvisibleIllnesses #InvisibleIllnessWarrior (at Nacogdoches, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpNZYy8HJTz/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=n5cmyhp3p49f

My greatest joy in being a teacher is seeing my kids achieve what they set out to do. I see potential in every student who shows interest in photography. Because I know what that potential can do when given a chance to be seen, heard, and used. By not discriminating against age when "hiring" photographers for my staff, I have found several hidden gems among my youngest students. Makes a heart happy to see how much they love the art of photography.

My Sunday was spent the best way possible! With my family at my momma and daddy's. I spent the whole day watching football with my daddy. ❤ With minor interruptions for momma's cooking 😁, helping my nephew with his English paper, and watching Insta crafts with my niece Riley Joe. Plus my sister-in-love, Anna, gave me my birthday present early because she knew how bad I wanted it. Of course it was something to do with elephants! Family is the most important thing in the world. I was blessed with a biological one that is out of this world. ❤ Also got to drive my daddy's new vehicle. A Cowboy Blue Dodge van. 😄 #FamilyMakesMeHappy #LoveMyMommasCooking #FamilyTimeIsTheBestTime https://www.instagram.com/p/BosiqnyHpED/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=16fidptunxehq

Another Maddie girl shout out! Homecoming Week is not for the weak adviser. I had a test this last week. I was directing numerous kiddos every day. One day by messages. They worked so hard and pulled off a great week. But the real superstar was my Maddie. This week was crazy busy for her also. She started her Kumon tutoring on top of HoCo late nights. Friday and Saturday were 11 p.m. nights for us. Some people don't agree that I should keep her with me while working late, but we have to get used to this life. This is my career, and as a single parent there won't always be someone there to babysit. She handled it like a champ! She liked all the "tall talk" she got to be a part of every day. She is so much more mature than I will ever be.
