I am changing the perspective of "Tell All" on my end this week. Instead of me telling all about something related to me...I want anyone/everyone reading my blog to respond to what I am questioning...so I am asking you to "Tell All" that you know or feel according to what I am asking...
WHY DO WE HURT THOSE THAT WE LOVE?
I know that we are all only human and because of that we are all going to make mistakes from time to time. Many times the things that we say or due are not done to intentionally hurt those that we love, but sometimes we do things that we KNOW will hurt those that we love and we do it anyway.
Please don't get the wrong idea...I am not writing all of this because I have intentionally hurt someone I love..that is not it at all. I have just recently encountered friends or close loved ones that have either been the victim or the culprit to the action...and I just wonder...why? If the things that we do go against our beliefs and morals, why do we do it...especially if we know that it is going to hurt those that we love so dearly?

Mad Music Monday
Okay, so I know that Sarai's song for last Monday was "What Hurts the Most" by Rascal Flatts...but I just have to use it for this week too.
I have ABSOLUTELY loved that song since before it was released. I heard it on their web site before it was released in stores...and fell in love with the song.
When the song was finally released I went to the Wal-Mart web site to download it and was not only able to download it, but I was able to see the music video for it as well. I just cried at the video! I had actually taken the song totally different than what the video was showing...but either way it is sad! But, hey, what is it that Billy Ocean once said in his 80's song..."There'll be sad songs that make you cry...Love songs often do"...so there you have it!
What Hurts The Most by Rascal Flatts
I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house,
That don't bother me
I can take a few tears now and then and just let them out
I'm not afraid to cry
Every once in a while
Even though going on with you gone still upsets me
There are days
Every now and again I pretend I'm okay
But that's not what gets me
What hurts the most, was being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
Never knowing, what could have been
And not seein that lovin you
Is what I was tryin to do
It's hard to deal with the pain of losing you everywhere I go
But I'm doin it
It's hard to force that smile
when I see our old friends and I'm alone
Still harder gettin up, gettin dressed, livin with this regret
But I know if I could do it over
I would trade, give away all the words that I saved in my heart
That I left unspoken
What hurts the most, is being so close
And having so much to say
And watchin you walk away
Never knowing, what could have been
And not seein that lovin you
Is what I was tryin to do
What hurts the most, was being so close
And having so much to say
And watchin you walk away
And never knowing, what could have been
And not seein that lovin you

Favorite Friend Friday
Favorite Friend: Brian Pesci
My favorite friend for this week is Brian Pesci. Brian and I became friends when he was an Intern for Lori about 2 years ago. When Brian graduated with his Elementary Education degree in December 2004, he immediately started back to school working on his graduate degree. He and I took classes together in Spring 2005 and Summer 2005. Brian is a very sweet, caring individual. He loves being a teacher...and he is a good one at that (was there ever any doubt since he had Lori as a host teacher!).
Brian and I became great friends as we were suffering together through some of our graduate classes. Brian, being the computer whiz that he is, helped me through the Multimedia class that I had to take last Spring. It was a tough class...but because of Brian being the generous friend that he is, I was given help often and he helped me through the class. There was a small group of us that would meet on Saturdays last Spring to work on the homework that we were assigned in this computer class...and Brian would always show up (sick and all) to help us with our assignment.
Brian and I share a passion in teaching kids each and every day. It is always nice when we can talk with one another about the ups and downs that we see going on within our own classroom. He is always there to listen and offen suggestions when he feels the time is right.
When Brian started teaching (his own classroom) this past fall, we kind of lost touch. But, just like good friends do, we picked up right where it seems that we left off and it is like we never lost touch.
I am so very thankful for the friend that I have in Brian. He has a warm, kind heart and a personality that everyone loves. He is the type of individual that will leave you with pains in your stomach and sides from laughing so much when he is around. He honestly made last Spring and Summer classes much more interesting and entertaining!
Thanks Brian for all that you do! I am honored and thankful to know you!

Tell All Tuesday
Once upon a time...I was a clogger...and I miss it like crazy.
I started clogging when I was very young...like 6 years old. I was living in Metro Atlanta at the time and there were MANY different teams to choose from in the area. The team that I joined was wonderful. I stuck with that team until the time that I moved to the North Ga Mountains. We would perform in competitions (always placing 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place) and shows of all kind. It was such good exercise and it was soooo much fun. When I moved to the North Ga. Mountains, I did not have a team to join so I stopped clogging altogether. I always told myself that one day I would rejoin a team or have one of my own. Well, my first year of teaching I started a team at my school. It was soo much fun and I had many great students that could really get down! Well when I became a mother and a grad student, I did not have the time that I wanted and needed to dedicate to teaching kids how to clog. I wanted to continue clogging..I just did not want to be the instructor! Well, again, I moved to a town where there is no clogging team...and the nearest one that sounds like the kind of team that I would want to join is in Asheville. I think that once I finish up with my graduate degree *3 more weeks* then I will check in to joining the team and even get Allie into clogging too!

Mad Music Monday
I recently watched the movie "Walk the Line" and LOVED it.
I was hooked to the entire movie and would watch it again with the same attention to it. The music that was sang and played through the whole movie was wonderful. I look forward to getting the soundtrack to the movie. I understand that Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon were really singing the songs throughout the movie and in my opinon they did an excellent job. I grew up listening to many of the Johnny Cash songs because my parents liked him. I also grew to like his music because of the rhythm it always had...it was/is wonderful clogging music!

Favorite Friend Friday
My favorite friend Friday is going to have to go out to more than one person because it consists of a family of 3: Reuben, Kim and Raechel Councill
I have been blessed with having this wonderful friendship with each member of the Councill family since the year 2000 when I first started teaching at Fairview Elementary. The way that I became so close with this family is through Lori. Lori was already really close with the Councill family and so when I came along and started teaching with Lori, we all started hanging out and having chick flick night on Tuesdays. It was so much fun. We would all hang out at Kim's every Tuesday night and watch a movie or sometimes we just hung out and talked. The more we all hung out the closer we became. I was only blessed with having these wonderful friends in the same town as me for a year because Kim was going back to school to get her Doctorate. The Councill's moved to Ohio, where Kim worked extremely hard to get her degree...Go Kim! When Kim graduated, she took a job in Pennsylvania...which is where they are still living. Each year on Easter weekend, the Councill's come to Sylva to visit. It is a visit that we all look soooo forward to. We are lucky that things have worked out the past few years for them to be able to come to Sylva and spend this wonderful holiday weekend with us.
Even though there are many miles between us, I still look upon the Councill's as some of the greatest friends that I have EVER had. I love and care for each one of them so much. I know that they are a God send for me and I love them and cherish their friendship-always.

Tell All Tuesday
Well, I guess that the one thing that I will tell today is that I have become the biggest procrastinator ever.
When I was an undergraduate, I NEVER procrastinated. EVER!!!
I was always the one that got the assignment and immediately went and completed the assignment...a.k.a....NERD!
Yes, I guess that is exactly what you could call me.
Well, since I have been in graduate school I have been nothing but a procrastinator...and here it is...about 9 days until my symposium to present my final research project and I have not even completed it much less put together a presentation. Yikes. Also, my spring break is about to be over...and I did not open the project up to even think of completing it.
I know that it will get finished....I know that I will get the paper and the presentation completed...I just don't like the fact that I have become a major procrastinator...what to do????

Mad Music Monday-2 weeks ago
I think that it is very important for everyone to be themselves at all times. It really frustrates me when individuals act a certain way because of the company they are in or because they want to impress others. A song that I truly love and could hear it over and over is True Colors. It has been recorded by Cyndi Lauper and also Phil Collins. As a teacher, one of the many things that I teach my students is to always be yourself...don't say or do something that is out of character for yourself...always be yourself...so for my mad music catch up day I want to use "True Colors".
You with the sad eyes
don't be discouraged oh I realize
it's hard to take courage
in a world full of people
you can lose sight of it all
and the darkness inside you can make you fell so small
But I see your true colors shining through
I see your true colors and that's why I love you
so don't be afraid to let them show
your true colors
true colors
are beautiful like a rainbow
Show me a smile
then don't be unhappy,
can't remember when I last saw you laughing
if this world makes you crazy
and you've taken all you can bear
you call me up because you know I'll be there
And I'll see your true colors shining through
I see your true colors and that's why I love you
so don't be afraid to let them show
your true colors
true colors are beautiful like a rainbow

Favorite Friend Friday
Favorite Friend Friday: Jesus
"What a friend we have in Jesus"
Jesus is always there at the top of my list...no doubt about it. He is always there for me to lift me up when I need it the most. He is always the one that lets me know that no matter what, things are going to be okay. He is always the one that seems to wrap his arms around me and comfort me when I need it the most. He is always the one that holds my hand and helps me through the tough times.
The last couple of months haven proven to be 2 of the toughest months I have experience thus far in my life. There have been days when I did not think that I was going to make it and Jesus has pulled me through those days. I have relied on Jesus as I have prayed and prayed. I could tell that He was always listening to me and helping me through any of the tough times that I was encountering. Jesus knows all...so I knew that He knew what I was going through and He knew the pain I was feeling. Jesus knew that I needed Him more than ever and I could feel His presence more than ever.
I am so grateful to have a friend in Jesus. He could have turned His back on me for the last couple of months and let me drown in my sorrow...but He did not. I love Jesus very much. I appreciate all that He has done for me.
Thank You Jesus for Everything! Thank You Jesus for being my Friend!

Wacky Wednesday
When Lori first started blogging, she would share all the fun things that everyone was saying and doing. She would tell me that I needed to start blogging too. One of the cool things that I remember her telling me about that I knew I wanted to try when I started blogging was the "Sabrina needs" search on google. She shared some of the funny things that everyone had to say and I thought that it was so great. Finally, I think that I am going to get to do the "Sabrina Needs" and share what others seem to think that I need....HA!
Sabrina Needs....
1. Sabrina needs more friends.
Hmm...I'll buy that!
2. Sabrina needs her faith more than ever to make the right decision.
Wow, someone somewhere really knows what they are talking about. That is too ironic.
3. Sabrina needs a good home.
Well, I am grateful for the home that I do have, but we have been looking for a bigger place.
4. Sabrina needs a hat that big to prevent her chest from getting sunburnt.
Ha! That is too funny! Sorry, it would not take a big hat for that.
5. Sabrina needs someone to embrace her activity level and provide outlets for her to work off this excess energy.
WHAT??? HA!!!!!!!
6. Sabrina needs a spine.
Is this a nice way for someone to tell me that I have no backbone? Thanks!
7. Sabrina needs to enroll in higher education as soon as possible.
Ha, ha, not funny! If you just read my Tuesday post, this is not funny.
8. Sabrina needs money for a class ring.
Hmm...I don't think so.
9. Sabrina needs to learn the family secret or face the "dire" consequences.
Ha! The family secret....when I find this out, it will be posted on Tell All Tuesday.
10. Sabrina needs one on one attention from patient, loving parental figures who are strong, tenacious child advocates capable of recognizing, understanding, and handling her special needs.
Any takers?
11. Sabrina needs big help with her science project.
HA! LO if you are reading this, how funny is this!!!!!
12. Sabrina needs to find Salem and return her hat.
I don't care who you are..that is not funny.
13. Sabrina needs a little lesson in true love.
Ha!
14. Sabrina needs to bring more life to her pictures.

16. Sabrina needs this journey so that she can find her own peace in life again.
Interesting...
17. Sabrina needs to come home now!
Wonder where I've been?
18. Sabrina needs to have an operation today.
Could this possibly be an operation to mend my broken heart?
19. Sabrina "needs 3kg of fresh red meat per day and a lot of exercise.
Okay, not sure about 3kg of "fresh red meat" but I could sure use the exercise.
20. Sabrina needs to put down the Kool Aid and get her facts straight!!!
Ha! First of all, I do have my facts straight. Secondly, don't ever tell me to put my Kool-Aid down...ha. Just kidding.
HA! So there we have it. Sabrina needs lots of different things. That was so much fun. It was hilarious. It is funny to read these and imagine what in the world they are talking about. From the way mine sounded, I think that "Sabrina" was a child, a dog, a witch, and someone in need of finding herself (especially if she needs a beard!).
We need to come up with something else next...

Sabrina wants....
Sabrina is....
Sabrina Needs....
1. Sabrina needs more friends.

Well, I am grateful for the home that I do have, but we have been looking for a bigger place.

WHAT??? HA!!!!!!!
6. Sabrina needs a spine.
Is this a nice way for someone to tell me that I have no backbone? Thanks!

Ha, ha, not funny! If you just read my Tuesday post, this is not funny.
8. Sabrina needs money for a class ring.
Hmm...I don't think so.

Ha! The family secret....when I find this out, it will be posted on Tell All Tuesday.
10. Sabrina needs one on one attention from patient, loving parental figures who are strong, tenacious child advocates capable of recognizing, understanding, and handling her special needs.
Any takers?

HA! LO if you are reading this, how funny is this!!!!!

Truth Be Known: I am tired of school.
Okay, so, let me be more specific. I am not tired of "school" in the sense of my job...I am tired of going to school and being the student! AAAAHHHH!!!!!
It was Spring 2003...I brought up the idea to my 5th grade team (Lori, Jodi, and Liz) that I was thinking about going back to school to get my master's degree. My husband had been telling me over and over that I should go back and get it...my oldest sister had just completed hers...and I wanted my pay check to be more than it was. I was REALLY hoping that I would have some takers in my team to join me. I was REALLY hoping that Lori would join me..sorry Lo, I was hoping! I was surprised when Jodi came to school some days later and said that she would like to go back and get her's with me. I was soooo excited. So, that summer we went and took the GRE...(YUCK!). Fall 2003, we started back to school.
I must tell you that in all reality, the last 3 years have flown by in some aspects. But, in other aspects, it has gone so slowly! Jodi and I have stuck together through it all. We took the same classes, we rode to Asheville classes together, we vented to one another, we helped one another, and we have just about made it.
We are in our very last class right now. We have met for this class, oh, about 3 times. I have a class tomorrow night and then 2 classes at the end of April. The 2 classes at the end of April are in Asheville and we will presenting our final projects. I am scheduled to graduate in May.
Needless to say, I am tired. I am tired of reading. I am tired of writing. I am tired of homework. I am tired of leaving my family to go to class. I am tired of missing out on things at home because I am in class. I am tired of taking away from my family time so that I can do homework. I am tired of being stressed out over assignments. I AM TIRED OF SCHOOL.
I look back over the last 3 years and think, wow, did I really do this? Is it really almost over? I am so glad that it is! I have said this many times before...but...if I had it to do all over, I am really not sure that I would do it. Maybe when I get my first pay check with the increased amount I will have a change of heart....but until then, I must say that it took a lot of time and money for me to go back to school and I am not sure that it was worth it.

Mad Music Monday
After looking at all the number one songs that were on the charts the year that Allie was born, this song has stuck in my mind since then. I loved this song when it first came out. It is such a beautiful song. I totally dedicate this song to my wonderful daughter Allie...
"I Hope You Dance" by Lee Ann Womack
I hope you never lose your sense of wonder,
You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger,
May you never take one single breath for granted,
God forbid love ever leave you empty handed,
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean,
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens,
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.
I hope you dance....I hope you dance..........
I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance,
Never settle for the path of least resistance,
Livin' like me, takin' chances, but they're worth takin',
Lovin' might be a mistake, but it's worth makin',
Don't let some Hell bent heart leave you bitter,
If you come close to sellin' out reconsider,
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.
I hope you dance....I hope you dance.
I hope you dance....I hope you dance.
(Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along,
Tell me who wants to look back on their yearsand wonder where those years have gone.)
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean,
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens,
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.
Dance....I hope you dance.I hope you dance....
I hope you dance.I hope you dance....I hope you dance..
(Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along,
Tell me who wants to look back on their yearsand wonder where those years have gone.)
