Tonight was prison night... One of the first signs that I see after walking in is a big read sign that reads "No hostages beyond this point" ... I asked the guard when I first started what exactly the sign meant and he let me know that I was expendable...
Each class brings about some conversation that has nothing to do with what I am supposed to lecture on (I have a hard time staying focused!). Tonight was no different, and we ventured several times. We discussed politics and who the next govenor should be... most of the guys like Kinky for no other reason than his name. We also discussed their pick for the next president... about half said Hilary... some said Kay Bailey-Hutchison... I found it interesting that no one suggested a man... I wonder if they know something I don't. The other tangent tonight was them giving me advice on how to be a better wife. This happens every semester when some student asks me what I cooked for dinner and I laugh... I did tell them I cooked a hamburger yesterday and was informed that is not cooking! It used to hurt my feelings that they thought I was a bad wife... then hubbie reminded me where I am and asked what kind of husbands they are.
This afternoon I was catching up on the many blogs I like to read... this blog has a question that I found very interesting. I even posted and then spent the day thinking about whether that really would be the day I picked. Her question is "if you could redo any day in your life, what day would it be? Why?" I just went to check what other people chose... and most bailed... saying they couldn't pick just one, or wondering how it would affect the rest of their lives. For those who are wondering I chose my wedding day... I do love my hubbie and my kids... but I just wish that we had waited a good 5 or 10 yrs before we took that leap. How much better of a parent would I be if I had waited...How much better of a wife would I be if I had been secure in myself before that walk? I also chose this day because we should've taken the money my mom offered and eloped... it probably would've been much more peaceful since no one seemed to be able to get along on our happy day. Anyway, what day would you redo if you could have a redo?

I would have insisted to my hubby that we both finish college before gettting married. Consequently, we both dropped out and are now trying to get our degrees 13 years later with a family.
Youth is wasted on the young :-)
I would have stayed home and helped my mom when my grandmother was sick rather than going back to camp. I was about to turn 16. . .my Granny was dying. Momma sent Daddy to get me from church camp. When I got home the house was a wreck, I was overwhelmed at what I needed to do to help, and when Granny suddenly got a little better, I asked Momma to take me back out to camp that night. She did. . .but I should have stayed at home and helped her.
I know I was young. . .I know there was nothing I could do for Granny. . .but I could have helped Momma more.
Oh, wait...I already posted on the deep post.
Well, now you have three comments on it :-)
It sucks when you get old and lose your memory.
I would redo the day I chose to date that one preacher-boy in college. It only lasted a month, but it wrecked my relationship with God (for six years!), because I had just solemnly sworn not to get married, so that I could take bigger risks in missions. God made it all okay a few years ago, but I sometimes wonder what it would have been like if I hadn't rebelled. Nevertheless, I'm so thankful for the husband and children he blessed me with, even after I broke my word to Him.
