Happiness is subjective

But the TRUE key to happiness is being content where you are while striving toward the next place in your life.

So while people are doing things that I would love to do...

travel to Greece, East Africa,Thailand,etc,

I will be here in little Abu Dhabi (to which I never,ever thought I would be anyway), enjoying a break from work (which isnt too hard anyway), doing some work (gasp!) because I need things for when we return. Well, make that the kids. THEY need some new activities and what better time to print,cut,laminate.
Is it weird that I enjoy those things?? If so, oh well!

Ill be enjoying the weather (while I can), possibly the beach, enjoying my husband and the time we have together because life is too short to do otherwise. And even if I dont set foot in Dubai (for which Id only do if I were going to have GERMAN CHOCOLATE CAKE),Ill enjoy myself because happiness is inside of me and there isnt really a heaven on earth.Oh, and a little wine always makes things better :-)

But back to the point. Ill get there soon enough. There being Greece, Thailand,West Africa, East Africa,etc.

So where ever you are, be happy. . .about something in your life. Surely you can find one thing.

order it!

you have to make a decision about what is ok to buy here and what you should send for. For instance, if its something I should just learn to live without, I dont bother. If Im home visiting, I make a decision about whether I should bring it back. Like poultry seasoning (for a proper southern,savory dressing aka stuffing). I brought enough to last me until my next trip home. Other things, like shampoo or some hair products. I really couldnt bring enough to last as those things are heavy so I make do with what is here.Luckily, my kind of hair is resilient to the water so Im not having much problems aside from dryness which coconut water seems to be helping with. Anyway. One thing I made sure to bring enough of was bras. And I had so many that it wasnt necessary to get some last year. But now? Now its about the time to figure something out. And if youre a lady, you know when you need to throw that bra out,lol. Its definitely about that time. And, yes, I could look here but Im not on ...

This will do

So I just havent made it around to making a video of the place.Part of that is because my phone, which had the great camera on it,is no longer.And leave it to me to buy a cute phone with a horrible camera.yes, I have a camera with video but its just too much hassle.At least I think so. And because Im supposed to be honing my craft, I decided to post my place in pictures. Enjoy. My color palette all these switches for one little bathroom no tv. . .yet just the two of us! I love this contraption,lol and on the off times that this occurs. . . I just use my teacher dry erase marker,lmbo So,so glad to finally be clutter free! cleaning takes one day a week besides the every other day of sweeping bc its super dusty here.I have ONE pile of stuff left and thats only because I need a book shelf.Thats coming soon.ļ»æ

Turning Tides

6 months ago I wasn't to happy with my situation. I was feeling stifled in terms of teaching time and a  host of other things and my main focus in life was to get OUT.  I must say that the year has progressed rather nicely and Im not feeling the same way about the year. Thanks to my coteacher, who understands what the kids need and provides those things even when someone says otherwise,we  are having a great year! I can't say that I would feel this way with another teacher. Our classroom runs smoothly and the kids are self sufficient. Today, two kids decided to make a book in the science center. The books were pre made with the title and had two pages for them to draw animals or write. They were provided with real pictures of animals to choose from and had been given instructions previously about their options (to draw animals they saw at the zoo, animals from the book The Very Hungry Caterpillar, or to use the pictures if necessary). We also started this week putting ...
