Reality Strikes.....In a Positive Way

Yesterday reality struck in a positive way. I always am doubting myself and really not giving myself enough credit. Thursday is game days for our junior high. The school I am working for was playing the school I graduated from. It probably sounds sadistic, but I have no problem with my high school team getting their rear end kicked. Our junior high coach asked me about the other team. I told him that we should have no problem beating Ingalls. He told his assistant coach that, and the assistant coach said, "Then, we have nothing to worry about, because Lisa White is one of the most honest people there ever was!" I was shocked when he told me that. Maybe I need to believe in myself more and realize people do know my real character. Needless, to say, I was right. Our junior high beat my old team 50 to 0.

Have a Nice Day!

I have that song by Bon Jovi in my head! Cody, one of my students, started singing that tune yesterday during Science class. It has stuck in my head since then.

Why, you wanna tell me how to live my life?
Who, are you to tell me if it's black or white?
Mama, can you hear me? Try to understand.
Is innocence the difference between a boy and a man.
My daddy lived the lie, it's just the price that he paid.
Sacrificed his life, just slavin' away.

Ohhh, if there's one thing I hang onto,
That gets me through the night.
I ain't gonna do what I don't want to,
I'm gonna live my life.
Shining like a diamond, rolling with the dice,
Standing on the ledge, I show the wind how to fly.
When the world gets in my face,
I say, Have A Nice Day.
Have A Nice Day

Take a look around you; nothing's what it seems
We're living in the broken home of hopes and dreams,
Let me be the first to shake a helping hand.
Anybody brave enough to take a stand,
I've knocked on every door, on every dead end street,
Looking for forgiveness,
what's left to believe?

Ohhh, if there's one thing I hang onto,
That gets me through the night.
I ain't gonna do what I don't want to,
I'm gonna live my life.
Shining like a diamond, rolling with the dice,
Standing on the ledge, I show the wind how to fly.
When the world gets in my face,
I say, Have A Nice Day.
Have A Nice Day.

Ohhh, if there's one thing I hang onto,
That gets me through the night.
I ain't gonna do what I don't want to,
I'm gonna live my life.
Shining like a diamond, rolling with the dice,
Standing on the ledge, I show the wind how to fly.
When the world gets in my face,
I say, Have A Nice Day.
Have A Nice Day.
Have A Nice Day.
Have A Nice Day.
Have A Nice Day.

When The world keeps trying, to drag me down,
I've gotta raise my hands, gonna stand my ground.
Well I say, Have A Nice Day.
Have A Nice Day
Have A Nice Day

It is Time for a Clutter Free Environment!

I have decided it is time to have a clutter free environment in my house. I have cleaned a lot today, and even threw stuff away. Yes, you heard it, I threw stuff away. I don't consider myself to be a clutter bug considering I have others in my family that thrive on clutter. I have realized I do have some stuff that I don't need anymore or stuff that is out of date. Almost everything that is worthless or useless is going in the trash. I have threw away old t-shirts, old watches, cell phone holders that I never use, and beauty supplies that I don't use. It feels good to have less clutter in the house.

What is Sleep?

I am starting to wonder about this. Lately, I have not been able to sleep good for many days at a time. Last night I don't think I ever really drifted off into sleep. The night before I went to sleep but woke up at one in the morning. I am trying to be more healthy. I have been exercising and watching what I am eating. The real downer is when you are exhausted from not sleeping it is hard to feel good about yourself. I need to feel good about myself. It helps me manage at work and do my daily activities with a positive attitude. Like right now, I can feel myself going between being sleepy to getting grouchy. I sure hope I can make it through the day. If anyone has anyone hints or ideas, please let me know. I would really appreciate them. Ok, I am off to another day with no sleep.

My List of Accomplishments

This Labor Day weekend was somewhat productive. I got all my dishes done, and I got caught up with my laundry. And I even folded and put my clothes up. Wooo Hoooo!!!
