Just a list....

Hello 2011!

A few years ago I decided not to have New Year resolutions. Not a resolution not to have one because that would be an oxymoron. I don't think I have ever kept my resolutions. I am always so disappointed in myself that I couldn't do that one thing or do without that one thing for a year. In some cases my resolution was over and done with by February. Today I am making a list of things I would like to accomplish or do this year. Mostly for me to look back on at the end of the year.  Maybe for some accountability?  Regardless, here is what I would like to consider in 2011......

Get certified to teach again and possibly go back to teaching.

Do a better job at communicating play group activities.

Organize my clutter in a fashionable way (this is going to take time and money).

Take the next 7 months to spend time with Nathan with no regrets come August when he starts Kindergarden.

Do the PTA scrapbook without hating the decision to be the PTA historian.  I also want to make time to craft.  Set a date, time and lock the door.

I want to look into what I consider my "passion" and see how I can use this for good and not evil.  The most important piece is starting to do something with what it is I like to do.

Seems like a resolution, but it isn't because I said it isn't a resolution!  It is a list of ideas, yeah a list of ideas.  No worries, just a list.

Top 10 Things I Don't Miss About Facebook

It has been 24 days since I changed my password and logged off Facebook. I have logged on twice to see if anyone messaged me and logged back off. Which I am glad that I did because someone messaged me about math tutoring. The only thing I missed was if someone had had their baby. I was interested to know and while I tried so hard to stay off Facebook I did search her name just to see if she had the baby. Then I thought if she did have the baby and I don't know then are we really friends?   We are not friends by the true definition, just virtual Facebook friends. Top 10 Things I Don't Miss About Facebook 1. Selling of Rodan & Fields, LuLaRue, 31, Ketones or Scentsy.  I like some of these products and support you 100% and hope you do well.  The multiple posts on your product daily but nothing else in your life, blah. 2. Bragging. I love to see pictures of your vacation, if it isn't the only time you are on Facebook. 3. Posting fake news. 4. Making a comment I ...

One Word Can Actually Make a Difference

I choose not to work. I do understand that people don't have a choice and have to work outside of the home for a pay check to buy food and shelter.  One parent in my house must work. I also feel some don't really have to work and choose to work for luxury items.  I have talked to people that say there is no way they could be a stay at home parent and choose to go to work. Why do we as parents belittle each other in our choices.  Recently on Facebook (some say a necessary evil, but I think it is just evil) A parent commented   "...for the parent that actually works".  Wow, only one word makes that sentence sting.  I try not to let these words on Facebook hurt me or give them a second thought but I am a wordy person and I think about words.  The sentence takes a different tone if it was written, "for the parent that works".  The word "actually" implies negative things to those that don't work. For the parent that works I understand that a 30 ...

Queen of Google

Day in and day out I am frustrated with myself because I didn't take the time to write.  I want to write but I find myself not writing anything but thinking about writing.  I love to read and make time for reading but I find myself often just thinking about writing and not actually writing.   I am not sure what will ever motivate me to write daily.  Being a mom to three tween/teens in a huge job.  Especially when one is being homeschooled this year.  I find myself saying things like, when the dishes are done or when the laundry is done then I will write.  Just let me check all this school work first and then I will write.  When it is quiet, I will write.  This could be why I never write.  It is never quiet in this house.   Today I have had enough.  I am not about new year resolutions but I am going to make the commitment today to write daily.  I ideally would like to write not just for the blog but novel writing. ...
