I use to KNOW I was right.

It seems the older I get the less I know.

Correction, it seems the older I get the more wrong I know I am.

I use to KNOW I was right. Yup, I was ALWAYS right.

Now days I am lucky to be right now and then.

When did that happen? Why did that happen?

I miss the days of being right.

Today, I pushed Brent and A. out the door early so that they could go snow shoeing. They went with the scouts. It was a five mile hike in the great outdoors. Did I mention it was snowing. A. said it was fine and he has been in pretty good mood so I am guessing it was fun.

Brent just shakes his head at me. Sometimes it makes me giggle thinking of my California Hubby trudging through the snow.

For those of you that know Brent you will appreciate the fact that he did wear snow boots on the hike. However, the first thing he did when he got home was to kick them off and put on his sandals. Crazy Boy!

Anyway, it has been a difficult couple of weeks around here. Kind of like an emotional roller coaster that I can't get off. It was nice to have a nice day where every one was happy.

Just for the record I know I am right. Just sometimes I feel like I am waiting for the other shoe to drop and realize that maybe I'm not right.

I'm sure someone will let me know.

Because there is no way that I could possibly be right!

Prayers and Hugs,

At my Age

I saw this quote the other day and had to smile. It has been interesting finishing school at my age. I have had this feeling more than once that I am a little old, and finishing school is something I should have done a long time ago. Usually I remind myself that we all have our own paths to take in life. My path had me marry at 19 and become the mother of four beautiful rug rats by 27. Marriage and children defined me more than anything. I became more aware of my talents and abilities. I really didn't know who I was before I became a wife and mother. Waiting until now to finish my degree gave me time to figure out who I am. Well, at least to have a better idea of who I am. I love being in a classroom, I love learning, and I love helping others learn. My inner nerd does little happy dances every time I learn something new. Each person on this planet has their own God given talents. We have a responsibility to find our talents and to make the world a better place. How old you are wh...

Hip Hip Hurray, Tomorrow is PIE Day

Well in a little less then 24 hours I am going to have to reset this counter. I can hardly believe that it says 30 days. I have to tell you I never thought I would make it this many days I really thought I would have to reset it at some point in time. It has been a huge motivation for me knowing that you guys are watching the counter. Also, knowing that even if you didn't catch me in the time allowed you would see that I punked. That I didn't have the self control, not to eat sugar. Every time I would think of eating a goodie, I would think about reseting the clock. I would wonder who was online, I would wonder if I would get caught, I would wonder who would catch me. By the time I got through thinking about all of that I would decide the treat wasn't worth it. Another motivation has been my kids, who have said, "Mom you don't have to reset the counter no one would know." I wanted them to see that I could be honest and not do something I shouldn't ...

Every Christmas

After every Christmas I make myself a promise. I promise that next year will be different. Next year I will have a plan. Next year I won't try to do everything in December. Next year I will be prepared. Like I said every year I make this promise. Which means I have not followed through, yet. As I look forward to next Christmas I realize that, fingers crossed, I will be working full time as a teacher. I will have a daughter turning 16. I will have a son turning 14 and one turning 10. On top of Christmas! Next Christmas season is going to be an event! Additionally, this year we worked hard to get presents mailed on time, sent them priority, and they still weren't delivered until after!!! Christmas. To say I was frustrated, stressed, and upset would be an understatement! Which brings me back to the promise I make every year! Next (this) year I will have a plan. Step one of, "Let's Fa La La without Stress." Make a plan. Step two, follow the p...
