To Write or Not to Write

For those of you who think I have been writing less, you would be incorrect.
For those of you who think I have been blogging less, you would be correct.

I actually write all the time. At least weekly I have a cited paper due. However, I do not post them on this blog because I don't think you would be all that interested in classroom management or teacher ethics. While, I may find the subject interesting it certainly is not light reading.

I do find myself missing the freedom of writing what I want to write. I also miss the reflection time that blogging creates. Which makes me want to promise to blog more but I am not going to make promises I don't know how to keep.

I know that if something is important you are suppose to make the time and do it. My current problem is that I have too many things that are important and that have deadlines. Since no one is giving me a blogging deadline it gets shuffled to the back. The way back!

School is going great and after every class I count down how many classes are left, 14 if your interested, then I look at what I need to accomplish. Then I have a major panic attack. Then I eat a twinkie. Okay, I don't eat a twinkie because we don't have any twinkies but if we did I would be eating them.

To say I'm a little stressed would be an understatement. This whole school, and career, and family, and.... is  a little stress making. I wish I could say I have it all figured out and everything is smooth sailing. That would be a lie!

Life has become a series of choppy waters mixed with smooth waters. Some really great things have happened. I think my kids have sensed mom doesn't have a lot of time for stress and are all doing great in school. In fact they are excelling in pretty much all they do. I wish I could take the credit but I think it is just who they are and where they are right now.

Really, that is where I am in life right now. A whole lot of stress, with some really great moments, mixed in with a clock that is not slowing down.

Which means I miss you all, I miss blogging, and I'm not promising to blog more. Even if I really want to promise. Which I do!

Happy Sunday Everyone,

Krissi

Ride 103.5 miles, CHECK!

Friday 9:40 am I have always lived my life defined. Meaning that I know who I am and I know my capabilities. I am perfectly aware of what I can and can not accomplish. Which is why I never do anything that I wont succeed. Also, a reason why I don't do a lot of things. A LOT! Among the definition of who I am is, "Not an athlete." Really, when we get down to it, it is the reason why I am freaking out about a 100 mile bike ride. Athletes ride a 100 miles, non-athletes aka Krissi do not ride 100 mile bike rides. It is very very simple. Yet here I am messing with my very own definition. I have every confidence that I will reach the end of the ride tomorrow. I have trained, I have worked, I have screwed with the very definition of who I am. Leaving the only option of finishing and dealing with what I have done to myself. I am positive that somewhere around 50 miles I will question and doubt my capability of finishing. I am positive that I will remember, "I am not athlete!...

Ask "the SwimMom" Holiday Edition

One thing that you may not know about me is that in my senior year of high school I worked at Baskin Robins. I scooped, dipped, mixed, and created ice cream concoctions for almost an entire year. It was the best and worst job I ever had. My favorite ice cream desserts were malts. Ummmm!!! That is why when I came across this recipe a few years later I couldn't wait to try it. That is why after I tried this recipe it became one my favorite cookie recipes. Below is the recipe for: "Chocolate Malted Cookies" 1 cup butter-flavored shortening 1-1/4 cups packed brown sugar 1/2 cup malted milk powder 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup 1 tablespoon vanilla extract 1 egg 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 1-1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chunks 1 cup (6 ounces) milk chocolate chips In a mixing bowl, combine shortening, brown sugar, malted milk powder, chocolate syrup and vanilla; beat for 2 minutes. Add egg. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; gradually...

The Second of December

Today is already the second day of December. If I'm not careful the month is going to pass in a blink. Today is also the second day of Hanukkah. I watched the lighting of the National Menorah on TV today and realized how grateful I am to live in a country where we celebrate and embrace all different cultures, religions, and people. It is pretty awesome! I just wanted to pop in for a few minutes and say "Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah!" Krissi
