How Time Flies

By

So, I'm a slacker. Not really, I've just been busy. I'm in school right now and there are only a couple weeks left in the semester. That means tons of homework on top of work, work. This week especially. Why is it that all Professors have their projects and final papers due on the same day? I think it is some type of conspiracy.
Thanksgiving was great. I went to my sister's, (let's define since I have four) Shannon, who just had that sweet little baby a few weeks ago. On top of having a good time, the food was fantastic. I brought the potatoes and Ranch Dressing. No not difficult items to bring but, you can't have Thanksgiving with out either. The potatoes are a given for me as I do get a 50 pound box from the RCW. :) Let's face it, what else would I do with 50lbs of potatoes?
AND.... since I can't make a post with out a photo....... A few years ago, my sister (Shannon) and I went on a trip to Austria and Italy. I'll admit that I'm a big musical nerd and LOVE The Sound of Music and Julie Andrews. You know that part when she and all the kids are running around Salzburg singing, Doe, Re, Mi? Well, this is a photo of the arch they ran down. It's ok, you can laugh a little, but I know you think it's cool.

Summertime...and the living is easy

By
I woke up this morning at the glorious hour of 5:30 am. At least the sun is out now, with a little glow in the sky, which is nice. Anyway, my mind began to do that self-talk that you do when you are trying to convince yourself that you need to get out of bed on a Monday morning and start getting ready for work. It is slightly ineffective at times, as it was today because I was running a little late, getting to school just before the bell. That's not really the point of my blabbering though. So, my mind began to think about and really realize that I have made it to the end. The end of my first school year and that all of my collective educational efforts will be epitomized in my soon to be summer vacation. Holy Crap!!! I'm really excited now. I haven't had a "summer vacation" since I was a high school student. Part of my reasoning for wanting to teach was to allow myself to have a life. I feel like I have spent the last sixteen years doing nothing but working...

Lightbulb Moment

By
Today, I realized something ---- I'm a busy girl. Work a 45+ hour a week job. I am a student and spend six hours sitting in class per week. I also work a second job, where I spend about 6 - 10 hours per week. Some days I am gone from my home for 14 hours. This however, is not the revelation. I hope we've all previously established that I'm not that dense. :) It doesn't matter how much homework I have to complete or how much homework I have to grade or if I'm home by 3:30 or if I don't get home until 8:30. Everything that I do, every place I have to be, every hour I have to spend away from home, I am glad and grateful to be there. I love being a teacher. I enjoy spending time working at RCW. I am grateful for the opportunity to go to school, which allows me to be a teacher now, and not later. I love spending any spare time I have with my family and friends, especially my nieces and nephews. (I am really great at pretending to be Bumblebee to three-year ...

Oh, What to Do in the Summertime....

By
Three weeks left. I have three weeks to finish writing my senior thesis and the end has officially come. Life has been full these past three months. Of course I "graduated." I had the whole ceremony and stuff. Once I finish my thesis then I'll be official. It was really an amazing day. Such a feeling of accomplishment it felt a little surreal in many ways. Trying to cram in almost four years of school into two years will make you a a little crazy but, I survived.....and I never thought I would really make it. All of my sisters came, which meant so much that they were there to support me. There have been so many family functions and things that I have missed over the past two years because I had class or had to do my home work. I'm a lucky girl to have such a great relationship with my siblings. Here we all are: I have been looking for jobs and stuff. There is nothing out there. The couple leads I did have did not go in my favor. It begs the question - why ...
