What's in the way?

Today is in the way.  Not that I am not thankful for today, it's just in the way.  What I need to do is in the way of what I want to do.  What I want to do is have the day to get caught up.  Caught up with homework, laundry, house cleaning in general, as well as myself maintenance.  To have time to put on a little make up and do my hair, or even brush it for that matter.  Today is in the way, and tonight I will be to exhausted to play catch up.  I will have used up all of my energy in the a.m. and through the day.  I am thankful for today it's just in the way.

Resolution is just accepting the fact that this is life.  Accept it.

New Habit

My list of habits consist of routine mornings, class, work, kids, and quality time with my family on the weekends.  If I had to chose a habit good or bad.  I would have to say it would be.....my newest habit.  On any weekday around seven-thirty a.m.  I can be found in the tutoring lab.  I have become addicted to the lab.  It is full of help full people and interesting new ways to learn.  I will admit that it is a assignment in a class for me to do sixteen hours in the lab.  But in doing so I have found a new habit that I am happy to over indulge in.

Good vs Bad

Sometimes I feel as if I am just going through the motions.  I have changed so much from just a few years ago.  I feel as if my current habits will in turn lead me to success.  Though my habits a few years ago, would have most certainly lead me in the opposite direction.  The first changes began very soon after my move back from St. Louis.  I quit smoking, not because I wanted to kick the nasty habit, but because I was pregnant.  Though after having my son.  I never picked the habit back up like I had regretfully done with my daughter.  Now I am a full blown quitter.  I hate cigarettes, and am ashamed of myself for ever doing it.  The second story of my new success is going to school.  I love it.  It is my new healthy habit.  I wish I could go to school full time.  Being a single mom, with two kids, quitting my job is not an option for me.  I like my job.  They are good to me, I just like school more.  I love my new found habit.

Fail

I admit that I have failed to comply with blogging everyday.  I do blog, yet I do not post, because I am either not done or get interrupted.  Either way I will keep trying.

I am a mess

I have proof that I am a mess.  For example, yesterday I was meeting my mom at the store to do some grocery shopping.  I had just talked to her so I knew we would be arriving at the same time.  It is a ritual that we park in the back of the parking lot to try to avoid door dings.  So I began scanning the back of the lot for her maroon car.  As I spotted her car I made a b-line for that side of the lot.  I acknowledged her blond hair from a mile away.  I swoop my car in right next to hers and got out and rounded the back of the car when I noticed that she was putting on a very cute jacket that I had never seen her ware before.  With my back to her I began to unload the kids while simultaneously calling her a hussy for hiding her cute jacket from me.  When I turned around to see her face, I was shocked when I made eye contact with a complete stranger who I have now called a hussy.  Wow! I AM A MESS!

Hot Dog

Today OTC has free food!  I am so excited about free food because a.  free is good, b.  I am hungry and c. the sun is out and it is a good day to be outside!  I have Friday fever so bad I cannot wait for it to be three o'clock so I can pick up the kids and start my weekend.  What better way to do that than to start the day with free hot dogs?  Hot diggity dog its gonna be a good day! 

TGIF

I am so glad it is Friday.  It has been a long week going about as fast as frozen molasses.  I am hoping to take the kids to some fall festivals this weekend.  I am also getting a craving for some Silver Dollar City.

Virgin

This is my first blog.  I'm not really sure what to think of the whole blogging thing, but I am sure I will find out soon enough.  So far it seems similar to myspace and facebook.  No?

Harder Than I Thought

So I did blog yesterday, though I did not post it.  I have ten drafts that I need to finish and post.  This blogging everyday is harder than I thought.  I am trying to get a everyday blogging schedule, sadly I have failed to get there yet. 

Audio Book Reflection

So my first audio book was a success.  I am officially hooked on audio books.  Down Came the rain by Brook Shields, I am so happy that I started with this book in particular because there were many specifics that I could relate to.  I have a new respect for Brook as an actress and a person after enjoying her book.

Gone Blogging

I just go done picking a new background for my blog page. I think it is starting to look more like me.  I hate to admit it, but I think I am actually starting to like this blogging thing. The next step is to find more fun things to do with my blog, and to start blogging every day.  If I am going to do this I have to make it my own.  This way I can look at is as fun and not homework :  )

Self indulge

I would love to be more self indulgent.  To go get a pedicure or a manicure would be so relaxing.  Right now my Manicures consist of biting off hangnails or filing between stop lights.  My pedicures are even worse.  My toe nail polish consists of my daughters purple nail polish topped with glitter, which she chose.  Sad but true, the last time I took time to self indulged was almost exactly a year ago.  Come to think of it,  maybe I should take some time out for a little much needed TLC me time. 

Substitute

Yesterday I had a substitute teacher in my English class.  Just so happens it was my instructors husband.  Come to find out I had a lot in common with him.  He stressed to take every opportunity to learn.  I love to read for fun, but I just don't have any spare time to do so.  In the past I thought about getting some of those books on CD to listen to in my car, though I only got the thinking part done.  At one point during the class he said not to listen to the radio when driving in your car, but to get audio books.  Again stating; take every opportunity to learn.  I always felt like I was wasting time driving in my car, especially sitting in traffic.  So this morning I took his advice and went to the library and got my first audio book.  Feeling a little ashamed of the fact that I am absolutely ecstatic about getting in my car to listen to my new book.

Specifics

.I believe that disliking theoretical information can be a setback for me as a student. Being in college I have found that what seems to have no relevance at all, can really be a key to the learning process, which in turn can initially have a positive effect on my future years as a writer and a student. I have already used some of my information from my English course that I took this summer to help me with my current English course (shout out to ms. Tucker) to help me to be successful

Reflection

Reflecting on the Jung Typology test.  I 100% agree with everything that the test said about my personality. Stating I am a Extrovert Sensing Feeling Judging.  Everything I read seemed to be accurate as far as how I operate and why I do the things I do.  I am out going, outspoken, fun and easy to get along with.  My job requires me to sometimes be a little on the bossy side so I have no troubles in this area, being in charge comes natural to me.  I am a very emotional and sensitive person, so when i read that I am easily wounded it just made since to me.  I am very much a family person, I love everyone getting together for celebrating holidays.  To me family is what life is all about.   I always have to weigh out my options when making a decision and usually end up calling my mom to make sure I am doing the right thing before I act.  In a nut shell I think that the test was spot on, and couldn't have been more precise.
