life is beautiful.

i told my cooperating preschool teacher today, upon her exclaiming "you work too?!," that i'm living about five lives right now. my life as a preschool "teacher." my life as a college student. my life as a part time tutor/mother's helper. my life as a part of a functional family.

so that's only four. so shoot me.

just thought i'd share a picture of life right now. :) that's it. it's why i haven't updated my 365 for about three weeks now. it's why i've been quiet here. it's why i avoid schoolwork by tampering with my blog design.

yup. that's the story.

but life is beautiful. i'm gonna look back sometime and say, "remember those crazy days during practicum when i wondered how i ever thought i was cut out for life as a teacher? those were the days. when i crammed homework into the week so i could go to the state fair on saturday, when i came home late after a full day and hooped out under the stars until all i could feel was the song flowing through my muscles and my body free, when i stole moments to sit on the back porch and eat a 'picnic' with my family. yes. those days. remember those days."

someday i will say that. maybe today.
