pure bliss

today's park voyagers school was a challenge to say the least.  afterward the first group Liz, my co-worker, said, "it's like talking to a brick wall."  we are DEFINITELY going to make some changes for tomorrow.  but i had the second group and we sat on the ground and went through all the ground rules.  i had to keep reminding them, but it was better. 
they needed one on one attention to understand.  but man, there's only one of me.  which, personally, one on one time is the part i love.  i love it when it clicks for them.  liz and i have said that i am stronger in one on one and she's stronger with the entire group.  so we compliment each other.  
one kid really wanted to laugh at me.  (i act silly sometimes)  i touched his arm and i was said, "smile, smile." (in a weird voice)  finally he let it out and had a good laugh.  
these kids really are great!
and i think they like us, but they are a challenge.  


so i finally get home and i told myself in the morning i needed to take the vday flowers karen sent me and my bday plant out to some grass.  i have an objection to throwing things like that in the trash.  so i walked over to the lake and hid them in a big bush so someone doesn't undo my work.  i saw milk carton bird feeders and then i look over and the swings are calling my name.


i won't fight it.


i hopped on and felt so happy in those few minutes.  i even squealed.  you know when you go upside down and then flip back up and you get that rush?  then.
and then i laughed out loud.  pretty loud for being alone.


and i found my new fav trail mix from tj's simply the best.  yum!
