The Mind is Everything

I know, I know...

I have basically disappeared from the blogging world. I think about blogging, I have whole list of ideas for post but no motivation.

Writers block?

Blog Burnout?

I'm pretty sure it is a combination of the above, and the hustle and bustle of life. The kids are getting bigger the days of being at home and watching WAY to many episodes of Winnie the Pooh are gone.

I know that you have heard me grumble, complain, and whimper about this subject far too many times. Which I think is another reason to add to the reasons why,  I am not blogging.

To much complaining!

Once again I need to stress the point I HAVE NOTHING TO WHINE ABOUT!

Which leads to the question, "What the heck is my problem?"

Well the list is plentiful but in the long run it has come down to priorities. This little blog has just not been a priority. Instead I spend my limited free time engrossed in a challenging game of Suduko. Yes, friends I have abandoned my blog for Suduko.

Sometimes the truth is just plain sad.

Don't feel to bad for me. In between the Suduko games I work, take care of my family, go to school, AND count down the days until I am done. March 22nd marks the official ending date for my bachelors degree. On the 22nd of March 2012 I will have a degree and a license.

Crazy!! I can honestly say I never really believed I would finish school and now I am counting down my final year.

I am a Senior in College.

So weird how anti-climatic that feels.

Meanwhile, as I count down this final year I am preparing to take three BIG test. Two are required for my degree and teaching license. The third is required for Grad school.

Yup, grad school. Seems that now days a bachelor's degree is all fine and good but as an educator they want you to have a Masters. So there is little point in getting to excited about being done with school.

It seems as if I am only finishing one degree in order to start the next. Although, I am pretty excited about the Masters program I want to join. I am looking at getting my masters in Technology Curriculum with an emphasis in Library Science.

I will learn how to design and integrate technology into the curriculum. Now days a lot of the technology research skills are being taught by school librarians. When I think of my ideal job I think it would be a blast to work in a school library.

The masters degree would combine all of my passions reading, technology, and research.  Meaning, don't feel to bad for me NOT really being done with school, because I'm pretty excited about the next step.

I'm getting a little ahead of myself but a popular Buddha quote says, "All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think we become."

That is the main reason that I continue to blog. This blog helps me to articulate all of my thoughts and all of those things that I want to become.  Even though I don't always do the things I say I will do on this blog I find myself more focused as I write down and share what I want to happen.

Well, I have exhausted myself with this long post. I hope that life is finding you all happy and healthy and hearts full of prayers for the people of Japan.

Love,

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...
