Who let the dawgs out??

I have no idea where that title came from, just tryin to make it more interesting for those who are actually reading it. (Dave I think I made it so you can post, but I might not have, but I think so, so give it a try). So what's going on in the life of Sarah??...??...who knows, certainly not me. I must have found at least somewhat of a life because I definitely don't have a whole lot of time to kill anymore. Now I'm just hanging out at Schalk's (I just got done studying and doing my journals for our night class) and I'm just killin a few minutes before I have to go to work. I really missed my kids during fall break and it was good to have them back yesterday. All of our curicullum stuff came in over break and so now I actually have stuff to plan and do with the kids instead of just making up stupid little crafts for them to do. We have 3 days a week of Kids Lit which consists of reading a book and then doing activities to get them thinking and then making something or doing something based on the play. We also have one day a week to work on Character Counts which teaches them how they should treat one another and themselves. Today we are working on Respect. Also one day a week, we have to do a Service Learning project. We are just now choosing the project this Fri. and because I know my kids so well, I bet that I know which one they are going to pick. I can't wait. This is really starting to look like I can control my kids and maybe even teach them something. Now that I have bored you all to tears about my job (which I am starting to like again, can ya tell?? :o) I'll move on to another topic. Nel's talk on Sun. really got me thinking a lot. It amazes me how a couple of words can mean so much to someone. I love all of my friends and even though I've been feeling really lonely lately it really means a lot when you get appreciated like that. Schalk once told me that she only had one goal in her life that needed to be fulfilled and that was that she wanted to touch one person. It's really cool when someone tells you that you've touched them because you really didn't know. It makes you feel wothwhile. I don't know, it makes me feel like I do actually have a purpose on this crazy life. I've been praying a lot lately for signs to let me know about a couple of this and after months I get the sign and I get really excited only to find out that it was wrong. I don't understand this and I know that I shouldn't even try to pretent to understand God's plan for me, but I don't know. And therefore, I don't know what to think. Here's an example: Back in Jan. I prayed for a sign about something, I asked God that if it was to be, let me hear a certain song on the radio, it was a song that I used to hear about once a month or more and I associated with something. Then I didn't hear it for months...fast forward to present...I heard it last week, but what I thought was a sign that I had prayed for didn't "happen". Should I take this as a sign to "make it happen" or just chalk it up to coincidence. I don't know...hehe...and I actually don't know where I'm going with this, but I do have to leave, so I guess I'll leave it here for now and maybe try to add more later...
