Rach, this one's for you

Want to know how to really have fun on a playground?

This is how my sister and I used to entertain ourselves.  I'm not even kidding you.  Thanks for the video Anthony, I have to admit it's pretty amazing.  Brings back lots of memories. lol.

So I decided that Bethany Dillon has some amazing lyrics.  For example...

I have tried to be the queen
I have tried most everything
Leads me to the same place
On my knees or on my face...

The way You keep on loving me
Is changing everything I see
It's a great big mystery
_____________________________

This house is echoing
With the sound of You knocking at the door
But with three locks
And the shades down
You are easy to ignore
I put You on like an old pair of shoes
I've put You off, but now I need You...

You're a good strategy when I need one
An angle when there is none
Like a doormat
That always says welcome
No matter how much dirt I rub on
But when I am tired and run through
Look over this hill, I'm running to You

_____________________________________

When I have been a victim of familiarity
When my heart has fallen into sleep
Healing is the voice that awakens me
And it is you
________________________________

I'm just like everyone else
We are all hiding
Acting like I have a wealth
Of knowledge and peace

Just some lines from several of her songs.  Food for thought I guess.

Things I love about my job...

-Lots of hugs are involved
-The kids are just so dang cute
-The times I hear "Miss Rebekah, when I grow up I want to be a gymnastics coach just like you!"
-How we talk girls out of crying over rips on their hands by telling them "That's so cool!!!  Now you're a real gymnast!!!"
-Hearing young elementary aged kids talk about their various boyfriend. lol.
-When a girl get confused about our class "showcase", thinking everyone's been telling her it's a class "circus"
-That one of my 5 year olds told me yesterday that Carly Patterson does drugs
-How no matter my mood, they never cease to make me laugh.

And with that, I'm off to coach the level 3's and 4's at a competition. Yay!

You know...

...you're away from home too much when you skip class just so you have time to go home and clean your room.

...you're a dedicated gymnast when you go to the store in desperate need of food, but leave having only purchased the movie Stick It.

...you're taking too many classes when even your entire Friday night is spent doing school work.

...you're old school when the local thrift store has a 50% off sale and you purchase DDR pads and a Michelangelo sprinkler (Yes, the Ninja Turtle. He's currently standing guard at our front door, so watch out. He just might use those nunchucks on you).

...you're me when you do all of the above in the last week.
