You make 35,000 a day...

I just had a conversation on Sunday, with my youth group, about the fact that you make around 3000 decisions per day.  So, today I Googled, "how many decisions to adults make in a day?"  Answer:  35,000.  I was a little off, but now I feel WAY stressed out how many decisions I make in one day.  As a Principal, I should take that number and multiply it by 2!
Sometimes it's the little decisions that make a big difference.  In my day to day life, I find that the simple conversations that I have with my students are the highlights of my day.  For example, while walking around the school yesterday, I received 5 hugs, several high fives, and lots of smiles.  One little decision, to leave my office and adventure into the classrooms, turned into a positive part of my day.  Kids are one of God's greatest creations!

I'm still stumped on the 35,000 decisions a day.  Can you believe that!!!???  During youth group, I also gave a speech on freewill and choice.  God created us to love and to be loved.  His ultimate gift was freewill.  Did He realize, that in one day, we have 35,000 different ways our life could go?  I can't even decide what to wear everyday!  I'm sure 1000 of my choices are spent on just that small task alone.

A day with Hello Kitty and a sled...

I finally have created a personal blog.  Who knows how many people out there actually want to follow my life!  I can tell you that it is NEVER dull.  Today I'm home with a "sick" kid.  I say "sick," because she threw-up once and now is running around the house in a ballerina tutu.  When I brought her some toast, she had created a "sick bed" in front of the T.V. in a large sled with a blanket.  Damn my own rules of keeping kids home for 24 hours if they have symptoms.  I guess this is one of those times that karma comes back to bite you in the butt!  :)  Periodically, I will hear her singing the Hello Kitty theme song at the top of her lungs.  Another sign of karma.  I ask myself often why we ever let her discover this show.  I guess it could be worse, it could be Justin Bieber.
