Early Mid-Life Crisis?

Maybe not.  But I feel like I’m changing.  I don’t recognize myself lately.  I never in a million years ever considered becoming a teacher, and now I’m about to start working toward my teaching degree.  (Yes, I still want to do the librarian thing, but one step at time people.)
When I was in my early [...]

I Need A Break!

July has been a weird month for me.  Nothing extremely big or exciting going on, but it just feels different somehow.  I don’t think I’ve been in bed before 1am (sometimes later) all month, so that could be part of my problem. 
I’ve been tired.  I’ve had a hard time focusing on anything.  I’ve gotten behind [...]

The Way My Brain Works

What I’m thinking when I walk into the gym:  “Don’t be intimidated by all the pretty people.  Don’t be intimidated by all the pretty people…”
Seriously, is there some rule that you have to be a size 2 and gorgeous before you join a gym?

Things Currently Keeping Me From Blogging

Applying for financial aid.  (a.k.a. Searching through piles of papers for tax records, etc.)
Stressing about the PRAXIS exam I’ll have to take to get in the education program.  I’ve been out of school way too long!
Relearning Algebra before I start classes in the fall.  (My brain is mush.)
Working on about ten loads of laundry.  (You [...]

My “Four Day Weekend”

Hi guys!  I’m still here.  What a weekend! 
**********
I went to court Friday to terminate my ex’s parental rights, and to change both mine and Shiloh’s last names to my maiden name.  It was mostly long and boring because I had to wait about two hours for my turn.  The judge kept pushing my case back.  [...]

Daydreaming

There are so many things that I wish I had the time to do.  Not even big, expensive things like traveling (which would be nice).  Just small things that I could do, but never seem to have the time. 
Since today is Monday, of course I didn’t want to go to work.  It hasn’t been a [...]

I’m Awake!

For the first time all week, I actually feel awake.  After looking at my pictures from Easter, I decided I needed to get more serious about my diet.  I can make myself eat healthy, but I have a hard time quitting my caffeine habit.  I’m not so worried about having caffeine now and then, but [...]

Balancing Act

Three weeks ago I was exercising like crazy.  I felt good and had energy.  I knew that, if I kept up my routine, I would start dropping weight easily.
Two weeks ago I had the house spotless.  As soon as I would get home from work, I would tidy up whatever needed it.  The laundry was [...]

A Random Writer’s Workshop

The Prompts:1.) Tell us about a lie you told that you later regretted.
 
2.) Choose a task you’d like someone to complete and write a poem asking them to do it.
 3.) Describe a talent you have.
4.) Write a list of ten things on your mind this week.
None of these prompts really jumped out at me, so [...]

More Interview Questions

Yes, I had another interview.  I just couldn’t resist knowing what my blog friend, Hayley might ask me.  (Sorry it took me so long to post this Hayley.)  I think she came up with some good questions, so let’s hope I can answer them okay.  Here goes…
1.  Do you have any major regrets?
I try not to have too many regrets, because [...]
