...love me some thought questions with a sense of humor

Why do people press harder
on a remote control
when we know
the batteries are almost dead?

Why does someone
believe you when you say
there are four billion stars;
but have to check
when you say the paint is still wet?

Why doesn't Tarzan
have a beard?

If people evolved from apes,
why are there still apes?

How do those dead bugs
get into those enclosed light fixtures?

In winter why do we try
to keep the house
as warm as it was in summer
when we complained about the heat?

For the first time in 25 years I will not have to..
select clothes nightly to wear the following day,
prepare a lunch meal after dinner,
retire early to bed,
get up early in the morning to get ready for school,
wonder if I have everything in my school bag,
stay late for school related meetings,
spend an afternoon grocery shopping
after a trying day at school,
spend my nights with household chores, and
be totally exhausted after the first week of school.

HOWEVER,  I will miss...
the children and my friends.

TO MY FRIENDS...
You know I'm praying daily for your upcoming school year.
I'm praying that you will...
continue to teach with excellence and creativity,
speak encouraging and motivating words,
recognize children as individuals
designed and purposed by God, and
have strength for the well doing
as well as the trials for discipline.

I now consider myself retired because
I'm home and it's 8AM.
