Stupid Choice

Sometimes in my life I simply mess up!

Make a stupid choice and then life falls apart.

Most of the time it happens because I am overwhelmed. Juggling way to many balls and life is out of control.

I messed up, made a stupid choice, and I am now standing in the middle of the fall out.

Thankfully there isn’t too much fall out and life is going to go on much like it has without too much change.

Although, I have learned some major life lessons:

#1 Never believe you are above being caught. You will get caught one way or the other your choices will come to light.

#2 Never underestimate the comfort of loved ones. They’re there to wipe the tears and assure you that everything is going to be okay.

#3 Never underestimate how much you are being watched. Even when you screw up if your previous actions have been above board people are more than happy to help you off your butt.

#4 Humble pie goes a lot farther than anger and denial. If you did it be honest and apologize. After your done apologizing, apologize some more. Then apologize again.

You (I) messed up, denying it is only going to tick the people who are trying to help off.

So as for what I did well that is just a whole other story that I have decided I want to burry under a rock and pretend it never happened. So it is buried! Let’s just say that sometimes it isn’t what happens that counts but what you learn from it.

Thank you to all the wonderful people in my life that love me and all my many flaws.

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...

Stepping Up to the Plate

This is going to be one of those braggy, braggy post just thought I would warn you. Life has gotten to the point that it is completely out of control. I’m not really sure what we were thinking when we had four children in the span of six years. I also don’t know why I thought it was difficult when they were small because life now is, as I said, completely out of control. Everyone is at the age that they are involved or doing something. Our nights have become logistic nightmares. Pick up here, drop off here, go here, and stop here. It is craziness. Added to this insanity is the fact that we are currently a one-vehicle family. A couple of months ago as I was signing Al. up for basketball I was desperately trying to talk H. out of playing basketball. He has only wanted to play since he was four and every year he would remind me how many more years until he could play. Why, oh Why did I not say he had to be 16? Eventually, I gave in and signed him up knowing it was going to be tough to fit...

Registered! What Have I done?

I'm just home from the gym. My legs are shaky, my shirt is sweaty, and my muscles are loose. Saturday, I biked almost 30 miles on a hill before getting off the hill and finishing up at 35 miles. This morning I went for a nice 70 minute jog. (Legs are not HAPPY!) Last night before going to bed I registered for "Little Red." Paid my non-refundable registration fee. Needless to say I'm what you would called, "FREAKED!" Holy Cow what have I gotten myself into, a 100 mile bike ride.  Do you know that this ride will actually take me out of one state into another and back. Does that sound insane? Who gets up and says hey lets ride our bikes to that state over there and back? I think I have officially lost my mind. How does one know for sure if they have lost there mind? Short of registering for a 100 mile bike ride. Do you know people do these all the time? They do them for fun! Maybe that is the definition of insane. Well what is done is done and I have 16 weeks...
