There You'll Be

I heard this song while I was putting away the houses from my Christmas village today.  Seemed very fitting:

When I think back on these times
and the dreams we left behind
I'll be glad 'cause I was blessed to get to have you in my life
When I look back on these days
I'll look and see your face-
You were right there for me

In my dreams I'll always see you soar above the sky
in my heart there will always be a place for you for all my life
I'll keep a part of you with me
and everywhere I am- there you'll be
and everywhere I am- there you'll be

Well, you showed me how it feels to feel the sky within my reach
and I always will remember all the strength you gave to me
your love made me make it through
Oh, I owe so much to you
You were right there for me

Cause I always saw in you my light, my strength
and I want to thank you now for all the ways
you were right there for me
you were right there for me    for always

In my dreams I'll always see you soar above the sky
in my heart there will always be a place for you for all my life
I'll keep a part of you with me
and everywhere I am- there you'll be
and everywhere I am- there you'll be.......

Super Bowl Sunday

We had the gang over to watch the game.  Well, who am I kidding???  We had the gang over to eat!!!  I've been so good with this weight lose game and my goal was to lose another 1.4 pounds this week to make my total 10 but I think I blew it today.  I've eaten more than I could have imagined.  Oh, well.  Back to tracking tomorrow.
Work has been pretty stressful.  There have been a few union issues, a new teacher accusing a grade-level collegue and the principal of harassement and on top of all that my student teacher came.  I haven't had a moment to myself at work in weeks.  But tomorrow should be a quieter day.  The student teacher is sick and won't be ocming in.  The other issues have settled down a little (at least for me) so I'm looking forward to a quiet day.
I'd like to say my grieving is getting better but that's just not the case.  I miss Flutie every day.  There hasn't been a day yet that I haven't cried.  And sometimes it just comes out of nowhere and wham- tears are rolling down my cheeks.  I found this awesome pendant on etsy that I'm going to order for myself.  It's a custom pendant with his name on it with a paw print.  I'll be ordering that later in the week- as soon as I'm sure there's enough money in the old checking account.  Anyway, maybe I'll feel that he's still with me- even if it's around my neck!  Who would have thought a dog could wiggle his way into my heart so strongly that I'm missing him like he was my best friend? 
Well, I'm going to turn in for the night.  Actually, I'm going to read for a bit.  I'm reading The Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton- great book.  Then it will be lights out!!  Here's to a better week.......
