Boys

We in the Platt family are not really great at making boys. We have lots of girly girls running around, and we need more boys.

But the boys that we do have are the cutest and the boy-est.
(i like making my own words.)

Josh and Nick are so boys and I love it! Last fall I captured this picture while they were sitting down between family fotos.

I just wanted to wish you all a happy fall and hope you can be content with the little things in life, just like Josh and Nick.

OH MY HECK!!!!

I teach in the trailers. (or portables, depending on who is asking)

I don't really like it.

However, I am getting used to it. Especially since they gave me a key to the bathroom closest to my portable.

Today I was getting ready for my first class, and decided I better use the restroom before they got there.

I went out to the bathroom, unlocked the door, walked in, closed the stall door, and turned around and there in front of the toilet was a BLACK WIDOW!

I was very upset. Why you ask? Because now I would have to walk back into the school (my bathroom is another building outside) and use the restroom and I was going to be late to class.

GRRRR!

I hate black widows!

I took it to the top (not really, but the person who I knew would take care of it) he is very nice and said he would send someone to kill the black widow.

What a day!

Today is a BEAUTIFUL day!

There are still no answers to life...

But I did get to kneel down today to pray and that makes things better.

I just wanted to share with you a favorite quote and a favorite picture.

"God will not require perfection...; do all that is within your reach and you will do all that is possible of the impossible."

- Jorge F. Zaballos

sigh....

Is it okay to cry? As much as I do?

Today my heart is broken and I know that I have to live this and to make decisions, but I don't want to.

Life is so hard sometimes!

I got home from school the other day, well home being my mothers house, and was greeted by an ecstatic little Sami. That's the best way to come home, by the way. To a little one that is so excited to see you. Being the aunt is the next best thing to being the mother. It made my day that she was so happy to see me.

She had been working in the garden with mom and was extremely dirty. Being a toddler and all, she didn't mind that she was dirty. But when I mentioned that she should take a bath, she was thrilled. She loves bath time. So we went in the house and she had a nice warm bath.

What we didn't realize was that Sami didn't have any clean clothes or pajamas at grandmas house. So we took a trip down to amandas room and found a smaller shirt that would work for her. Purple. She likes purple. She said it was pretty. We got her dressed, but she was still cold. So I grabbed some of Amandas toe socks, which are very long and put them on her. They went all the way to her diaper, keeping her little legs warm.

I combed her hair and put a little lipstick on, cause how do you refuse when she says "lips" while looking at grandmas makeup.

The effect was the best I've seen. No little one ever looked cuter than Sami did.

Mr. Policeman...

Dear Mr. Policeman...

I just wanted you to know, that it is completely! unfair of you to go only 65 mph on the freeway; in the fast lane!

I know, I know...that's the speed limit! However, no one goes the speed limit. Not even you! Now, if it were just you going the speed limit, I wouldn't be so mad. But when I set my cruise control to 67 mph and was about to pass you while I was driving in the middle lane, you made your stupid sirens sound. AND YOU DID NOTHING ABOUT IT! You didn't race off to save someone, you didn't pull me over, you didn't even turn your lights on. You scared me to death, and you could have caused an accident! And I was only going 67 mph! Do you understand how stupid that is? Then you started going almost 80 mph, and that really ticked me off, cause you were only proving that you wanted to be in control of the freeway when you were going only 65 mph.

Now, because I am a nice person, and sometimes logical, I could talk myself into forgiving you, because technically you are just doing your job. However, you lost all chance of forgiveness when you broke the law to pass a SLOW car by going into the far right lane! Didn't you know that people watch you and they learn from you. And really, they think "if Mr. policeman is passing on the right, then I can too". And it starts this chain of law breakers.

It was at that point that I decided they should fire you. You are an un-fair, law breaker dressed as a fair, law keeper. Bad policeman!

Sincerely -
Tiffany Platt
