So, my life is rich and full right now.  Rich with friends and family, full with an amazing job God has given me.  I’m truly blessed to work where I work and do what I do.  One of the things that Amarillo Independent School District has always done is encourage family first.  So my kids come to practically every orchestra event that I am in or am helping.  They were at our Lock in in January and my sweet middle schoolers included them in the fun and games, my kids see what Todd and I do on a regular basis because we have decided to put our family first and that means if we have a night event they’re coming with us :)

So last night was Tascosa High School’s Pre UIL Concert, as we were sitting in the back my kids had the opportunity to talk with my fine arts director and a dear mentor of mine.  They told Mrs. Hackett’s joke about Pete and Repeat and how Pete fell off the boat, and do you know who was left on the boat ;).  The gentlemen met Daisy the stuffed bear and proceeded to rename the bear (a very unfavoring name in my daughter’s eye) Petunia.  After a night full of laughter with friends and fun music I asked Livie what her favorite part of the concert was.  Her reply “The part where I fell asleep”.   That reply made me laugh so hard!

Friends, find a job that you can enjoy and you can do it with your family.  Find a boss who doesn’t crush you but helps.  If you don’t have a job like that, start praying for God to open a door, or to change the environment.  You deserve to be content and at peace.
