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

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 ...

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...
