I think I can. I think I can. I think I can.


So, 11 actually days left of school. I honestly don't know if I'll make it. The kids have checked out. I've pretty much checked out. The middle schoolers see their escape is coming near and and can't stop rubbing in their vacation plans to others. The high schoolers got their year books yesterday, so you see those now instead of faces, homework, or notebooks. And me? I'm torn between completing the academic expectations of the district curriculum and giving in to a few movie days. 11 days may not seem like that long. I normally wouldn't think so. But when I look at the calendar and realize it is only Tuesday, 11 days seems like an eternity.....

I am beginning to think that I'm the only one who looks at this thing, and that frustrates me a little bit. Why should I continue to post updates about my life if I am the only one who reads it? Don't I already know what is going on in my life? Hmmmmm...

Does anyone read this? Anyone? Bueller?

Ready for a Change


I decided about two weeks ago that I needed to do something different. I needed a change. There are so many things I'd love to change right now. I'd like to change my job to a 1.0 position in one school, I'd like to be living in a house that offers room to move around and more than one floor to escape to, I'd like to spend some time in a warmer climate and just relax (Vegas!!!), I'd like to be able to get more sleep and not wake up 5 times a night, I'd like to look in the mirror and not be afraid of "swimsuit season," and I'd like to chop my hair off and not feel like it is always in my way. Well, many changes are beyond my control...except for the last two. So first of all, I've been hitting the gym pretty hard. I hurt like hell afterward, but that tells me that I'm doing something right. I haven't checked the scale yet to see how things have changed in the past could weeks, but I will eventually. That, in turn, has helped me sleep better at night. Two solutions down! The other that was under my control was my hair. I went in last week Thursday and said I wanted a bob about shoulder length. I was pretty nervous, considering my hair hasn't been above my shoulders since I was in diapers. But I have to say, that I'm happy with the results. For those of you wondering: yes, I can still wear it in a ponytail and pig tails. The day this woman can't put her hair in pig tails will be a sad, sad day.
