I miss education!

I am enjoying my freedom, and being able to run around and do something..or do nothing! However, I will always miss education. I just see a young child, and want to talk with them. The conversation is usually, "What grade are you in, What is your favorite subject..." Of course, their parents have told them not to talk to strangers, so, that only workd so well. I think about volunteering at school. I know they would love it, but I also know that once I go through the doors, I will NOT leave.
I heard Jamie Curtis this morning talking about always thinking about the next thing she might be or do. I like that. I read once that some people always want to be or do one more thing. I know I am not finished with my career yet. And...I still am doing nothing about that. Consulting is great, and I thoroughly enjoy it. (However, speaking to the Houston GT Coop group of 600-700 may not be on a future list again!!) I am doing a Science workshop in December. I told Lauren she can come...I think that's nice, knowing Lauren is going to be an even better teacher than me! I do love researching for her!!
Lauren and Pip were just here. I just LOVE that!!! Problem seems to be when our kids come home, we're NEVER ready for them to leave. Lauren is SO excited about her ring. She has to constantly fill us in on why that's important, and such a big deal, since we're not aggies. So, that will be fun next week. I can't believe she is a senior!
Jess calls on her way home from work. I think after a long day, she might be too tired to talk, but that is our gift, that time on her way home. Roy's birthday is this weekend, so she is a bit giddy.
Speaking of giddy, I'm sure no one has noticed how g - i- d - d- y Lauren is that Justin will be closer to her now!!!! I know Justin was bummed that the house deal didn't work out. We just have to keep telling them that God's timing is always right, and just trust.
Well, I just received a book from ASCD online, so, I'm going to read!!!
