This is the poem Robby thought he was going to get away with. When I reminded him about a month ago that it was his turn to write the poem this year, he quickly replied: "There once was a student at Tech..." Well, so the poem turned into something, but I told him that I'd better be getting two poems this year! So here goes the FIRST one.
There Once Was a Student
There once was a student at Tech
Whose English was quite a wreck
She took my class,
And barely passed,
So I married her what the heck.
The second poem is forthcoming.

What I've Done Today
This is my first day at home where I don't have presents to wrap, van to unload, migraine to get over, throw-up to clean up, papers to grade, history to be read...
Nothing HAS to be done today. However, I do have 12 loads of laundry to do. That might keep me quite a bit occupied today, but I don't mind...I am kind of a sicko to my friends. I LIKE to do laundry. I like the smell of clean clothes coming out of the dryer, especially if I've used Gain detergent. I like folding the clothes, hanging clothes on hangers, putting them into neat little stacks, BUT the thing I hate is picking them up. Don't know why it is. I just don't.
Anyway, I wasn't going to go in to all that, I was going to tell you what I did today after I sorted the laundry. Aidan was in a snuggly mood, so, we got in the rocking chair, favorite blankie on shoulder, and he let me rock him and cuddle. It was so fun.
This morning I was also able to have my quiet time and read The Daily Bread
(Something my former pastor does via e-mail every day, and it is a devotional). It was so nice to get into God's word, to be convicted of things I haven't done, and things I need to do in my life to glorify God. In the devotional, it said, "You have a heavenly calling from God, and everytime you are faithful to this calling, you are partaking of Jesus Christ." WOW. You know, when I was sitting there holding my baby, I felt like I was partaking of my Saviour, Jesus. I have many callings, and one of the highest is being a mommy. A lot of times I fell at it, but today as I held him in my arms, everything seemed so right. I felt like I was being held by the Shepherd, and he was telling me to rely on Him, just like Aidan was relying on me for comfort.
