Clockwise!

One thing that I think is so crazy here in school is that I can’t do Counter clockwise... When we do a reading at school, it is so natural for my students to read in a counter clockwise circle. It drives me crazy, I only have one way to go and it is clockwise. Am I getting old or did we do this as students? I have no clue. Another thing we had to contemplate today was the Standard of living. The question was...What countries have a higher standard of living? What was interesting was that it made me think that most of the things that I miss most are associated with my standards of living that I completely took for granted in the States.  You know, like hot water at the sink, clothes dryer, dish washer and the almighty Bath Tub.  I don’t complain too loud because I know that these are luxury items here and I don’t want to sound too spoiled. But, damn I miss them!
Actually I am ready to go home. I need to desperately take a break, think, ponder and make some decisions. I just need to process this past year of my life and take it all in.  It has been so Amazing, Fun, Difficult and Crazy all at the same time. 
I have said it before but my first steps on American soil will look something like this; first I will go to eat breakfast, followed by a hot bath and a nap in my king sized bed and then when I get up, I am headed out for Mexican food with a huge side of Sour Cream.  Of course, I will be with my beloved family & friends…with the first hug going to little Jaxon.  I can’t wait to spoil him and introduce him again to his cousins.  I miss my home & I miss my Family & I miss my Homies.
