San Diego Zoo

We took a fieldtrip to the San Diego Zoo the other day and when I showed my class the picture of the tiger they asked "Miss Cathy did you go IN the tiger habitat?" We all had a good laugh but I had to share the picture with you all. I feel so blessed to be living where I can see animals so close. Our zoo does so much for animal and is one of the best zoo's in the world.
Have a wonderful weekend.

Ezekiel

I love my cat, he is just so cool! He has that gray goatee under his chin and he loves to go down to the beach and play in the white wash. Right now with the weather changing he is loosing his winter fur because the weather is waming up a bit. I am finding clumps of gray fur everywhere.
I am so looking forward to a much needed girls night out Friday, it has been a while, since the craziness of robotics began. I would never give up helping out my kid, I can never get those moments back. I know many people think that they need to do things for themselves to make themselves happy, but I am a mom and it is a job, I can't leave my kids to go do things all the time just because I need some "me" time. My boys are great people and I am so glad I have all these memories with them. I do not someone else to have memories of me not being there.
Today, go out, hug your kids and be there with them, for them and enjoy each moment today, soon enough we will have all the "me" time we want and we will miss the things that we didn't do with our kids. It IS our job to take care of and raise our children, not the rest of the world.

It sparkles like diamonds

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.

I have been taking my camera out when I get home from work to look for those darn migrating whales, no I have not seen any this year yet. I love the way the sunlight dances on the Pacific, I think it is beautiful. To me it is like a giant bowl of diamonds. I am so blessed to be able to live where I live and be able to enjoy the beauty all around me each day.

Feeling Creative?

I love paint brushes, even though I cannot paint.
My class loves to paint and I enjoy watching them create
I am feeling a trip to Little Italy is in store for me this weekend so I
can purchase some canvas' for them to use
next week, maybe a gift for their parents.

Life is better when you are happy. But life is at its best when other people are happy because of you. Be inspired & share your smile with everyone.

Beautiful day

With all the terrible weather the country is having I am so grateful to be living here. We are having COLD Santa Ana and this morning when I woke up it was 47 degrees, I know that is warm for several of you but for us here it is freezing. I will take it!
