Preschool & New Teachers!

Tomorrow is going to be a day of "New" for the Hinojos' kiddos... Isabella starts Preschool (where has time gone!) which means new teachers and Jameson is moving to the bigger kids room, which again means new teachers! I pray that all goes well tomorrow and that the transition is an easy one. I LOVE Calvary and our school choice for our children!! Isabella has been very attached to her teacher, so i'm nervous on how she's going to handle it in the morning and throughout the day when it really sinks in that she is no longer going to be in Mrs. LaBranda's class... but i've reassured her she will still get to see her everyday and say Hello! :) Jameson's teachers he is already used to and knows and I love them... so I think it will be ok!!

My mother in law will be here Thursday and on Friday the hubby and I head to the beach for a weekend trip, alone! I sure am going to miss the kiddos, but we never ever get to go on dates together and this will be a nice way for us to relax and get some time together-- yay for nice mother-in-laws! :)

Pray that this week goes well for the kiddos and for us! :)

Attitude-- a small thing that makes a BIG difference!

A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly.  You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts they will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.  ~Roald Dahl

I definitely believe our outlook on things/life at the end of the day makes a huge difference!! I've definitely realized that if you don't like something, CHANGE IT... if you can't change it, change your attitude. Oh, how true this is! It is so important to realize that when we surround ourselves with kind, caring, and happy individuals-- that tends to bring out the best in us. I remember being in high school and my mother complaining about my grumpy attitude and I never seemed to "get it" back then... but I totally get it now. When I was having a bad attitude or in a bad mood it definitely had a negative effect on the whole house. That goes the same for life-- when you have a negative attitude that has a negative impact on so much. Sometimes we are the only smile a person gets, so it is so important to make sure that we let our light shine. Nobody is perfect and I am FAR from-- so, i'm definitely not claiming to be... there will be days where we are just grumpy and have a bad attitude. However, I think we need to remember the impact we have on others and even ourselves when we have positive energy, thoughts, and a good attitude!
