“Signs”

Life is sometimes about not taking yourself so seriously.  Some of my friends and I went out in Nashville, TN recently and thought it would be fun to wear wigs while we were down there.  Here’s a photo of mine with my ’flowing locks’!!

Signs that he/she is NOT “the one”:**

1. He/she sings and knows all of the dance moves from the latest B2K album.

2.  He/she invites you over for a homemade dinner which consists of Hot Pockets, fruit cups and oatmeal cream pies.

3. You all go to a concert at the Palace.  You’re dressed to the nine, and he/she shows up at the door looking like he/she just finished mowing the lawn.

4.  You ask him/her what church he/she goes to.  He/she says “I don’t have time to go to church.  I close down the clubs at 4am, stay posted up in the parking lot until 6am and sleep until noon.”

5. He/she invites you out to eat at an expensive restaurant. He/she orders drinks, appetizers, the meal and desserts. When the check comes, he/she looks at the bill, reaches for his/her wallet and says “Oh snap! I forgot my wallet. Will you pay?”… and after the date he/she never returns your calls.

6. He/she drives a new BMW but lives in a studio apartment with an air mattress, cardboard table, lawn chairs and a plastic plant.

Servant Song

“The Servant Song”

I was raised Episcopalian and went to the Maundy Thursday service at my home church.  We read the following scripture, “Now that I have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet. I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you. I tell you the truth, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them.” Everyone was invited up to participate in the foot washing.  Nobody in my row moved, except me. Right before it was my turn “The Servant Song” started playing.  This is the same song that was played at my mother’s funeral.  She was a genuine servant.  I looked up and said a prayer to my mother.  I then sat down to have my feet washed and became a servant as well by washing the feet of the person behind me.  I have been blessed with many things and hope to help and give back to others along the way

Six Years Old

“Six-year olds” 

Children are such wonderful souls.  I taught first grade for 5 years.  During my 1st year of teaching one of my students said, “Ms. Yeager, did you know my mother had sex with two guys?”  I was shocked at her statement and asked why she would say something like that.  Her response was “Because I have a twin brother!”  I reminded her that she and her brother have the same father and she should probably talk to her mom more about it all…..that group of six-year-olds are now freshman in high school and have myspace pages that have blown my mind.  It just helps me realize that we all were innocent once…..
