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...

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...

The Kids Today

S. is now 11 years old and is counting down the days until she turns 12. She is in the fifth grade and says math is her favorite subject. She stays pretty busy with swimming and soccer. This past year in addition to a regular AYSO team she has been competing on an All Star Team. She has really enjoyed it and is really looking forward to a tournament that will take place in Hawaii this July. She still loves swimming and is still competing when she can. A. is 9 years old and is the professor of the house.  He is our silent man whose brain is in constant motion.  He reads and reads and reads and soon will read me out of house and home.  He enjoys video and computer games, and he loves playing sports.  In January he made the city swim team and continues to play soccer, basketball, and anything that I let him.  Al will soon be eight.  As in next week soon.  The best part of school she says is 3:25 when pressed for a better answer than that she say...
