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...

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 ...

Pinewood Derby or Bust!

If there is one thing that Brent and I both agree on.  One thing that we both believe is essential to the proper development, growth, and raising of a son. That no boyhood would be complete with out.  It would be participation in the Pinewood Derby.   Yes, on this one thing Brent and I are in total agreement.  A boyhood is not a true boyhood until a boy has built a pinewood derby car and then competed in a pinewood derby.  It is that important!  I'm sorry if you have never had the opportunity to live in a house filled with the air of pinewood derby. If you have never had the opportunity of watching a father stand to the side as his son uses HIS power tools. The opportunity to take a chunk of wood and see that inside the wood is the makings of a CAR.   You wonder why men are so obsessed with cars, with how there made, and how fast they go.  Well if you have ever brought home a pinewood derby box kit to a home with boys and men all your questions would be answered. Once the car is b...
