Harry Potter

Ok. I have never read any of the Harry Potter Books, and only seen the 1st two movies (I think, I know that I have watched the first one and I think the second.)  That may not seem too big, but here it is.  I am a elementary teacher.  I have nothing against them, I think that it is great that books have captivated young readers so much.  I just haven't grabbed book one and started reading.  I don't even have them in my classroom library.  I am working on it, just haven't been able to get the whole set yet.  I have taught a couple of years, but this is the first year in the elementary grades. Maybe this summer will be the time that I start reading the series.  I don't think that it will be before that.  My kids are just small so they don't even know who Harry Potter is.  So that might be part of my lack of reading so far.

So my thought on how to aline this with life and it's lessons.  We can not asume that someone likes or dislikes something just they don't seem to have an interest in it.

Am I going to read them?  Of course I am going to read them, and probally watch all the movies sometime to.

Here is a thought for life.

It may rain all night but a new day is a new day.

Rain


The good thing about rain is that its not going to stick around forever.  Right now here it is raining, yes it is good for the plants and soil and all that.  But on days that we feel a little bummed out it is good to know that it is not going to last.

A year in the making

A lot of things can happen in a years time.  Especially in today's economy.

So I started this and never got very far and now I have no idea what I was going to write.  So life is like that sometimes but don't let that affect you.  Just love life and keep going on.

Communication

Tire showing wear in its sidewall (down to the...Image via Wikipedia
 No my tires weren't this bad.  Not to far behind though.

O.k.  so to continue on with the tire situation.  Don't you think that if you had  a tire company and always dealing with people would have a little better communication with your customers?  Yeah well communication didn't happen with me very well and I didn't get the financing that they had talked about and new tires were put on.  The thing was, was that I was at work all day and couldn't get in contact with them.  So I come back not able to get my car, ( and it is the only one that we have)  so I end up car less for the night and miss a meeting for work this morning that I should have been at.  Doesn't life just work like that sometimes? Well when I did talk to the owner things were somewhat worked out and he was very good to us in the end even though it was kind of bad for both of us.  My point.  COMMUNICATION solves a lot of problems and keeps you out of a lot of others.  Life is all about communication and a lot of lifes lessons are learned because of communication or the lack thereof.

for those of you that it affects don't forget daylight savings tonight.
don't forget to still sleep.

life and tires

Is life like getting new tires?  Well 2 of our tires on our car are bald and another isn't to far behind, while the 4th is brand new and the spare isn't in to bad of shape.  So yeh we are getting 4 new tires tomorrow.  Over $800 dollars.  Life and the lessons we learn are sometimes like that.  You wear life out until its bald and then you have to spend some money to get you refueled or safe to go again.  It may hurt (ouch $800 is a lot), but in the long run it is the best thing for you.

so I needed to learn somethings about tires-like what are all the numbers on the tires mean.  well here is a link that might help if you are half way clueless like me.

15 minute thoughts

For our life lessons I want to share thoughts that will take 15 minutes or shorter to write.  So you are now saying ok so.   I know that doesn't mean too much but I should be able to post more. 

I have heard today and saw someone tell me that they understood what we were talking about, yes they were doing ok on some of it, but then when someone else worked with them and after they left, they still didn't know as well as they were letting on.  to what we thought.

We are all like that, and then again, we might learn a lesson that those types of people really do know.
