Dang you Trisha! You inspired me to hop back on my blog and keep it going! For those of you that blog with me- I didn't finish my blog here- I moved over to shutterfly for a while- so feel free to read those posts if you feel the need to connect the pieces to this crazy life we live! lifeoflowes.shutterfly.com
What's funny is that my blogging has always been started by someone who "inspired" me. I first started my blog, 2 years ago when my friend encouraged me as a way to get through the times of Jeremy being gone. She had her blog, and I read it daily, and so I thought "ok, I can do this" Truthfully, it was wonderful to get it ALL out there and not have to call someone to get that feeling. Then, after my crazy life turned into a somewhat normal life; we moved here, are altogether, I didn't feel the need to blog about it anymore! And, another reason was that my dear friend, since childhood, best friend, maid of honor in my wedding, hurt me really bad. I had never once fought with her, been mad at her, etc so I've been spending sometime dealing with those emotions. Since she was my blogging inspiration...... I didn't have it in me to blog anymore. It just wasn't the same! Then along came Trisha, and her new blog lessonsofwonder.blogspot.com and I thought "Ok- it's time to get back to doing this!"
Anyways, HAPPY NEW YEAR! I actually was awake to see the ball drop last night, shocker! The girls were in bed around 9:30, and I sat and watched Pretty Woman.Who doesn't love that movie? If it's you- then get off my blog! We have NOTHING in common! I'm such a sap when it comes to movies like that. I always love a good story of someone bettering themselves and someone taking them in and giving them the benefit of the doubt. The Blind Side also comes to mind, or Dirty Dancing, or Coach Carter, etc. You get my drift. I love those kind of movies! Just makes me feel good!
Ok, enough of the sappy stuff! So.....New Year's Resolution. Some people might say mine is somewhat weird but it truly is my goal this year. The past 6 months I have spent ENTIRELY way too much time at school. I used to be a 7:45-3:45 kind of teacher. This year, I've been there by 7:40 and don't leave, MOST days until 5:30! Plus work on the weekends. I kind of expected the longer work days because of the new grade level, but this nonsense has got to stop. I have always been a successful teacher, with above 90% passing TAKS test rate, so I know I can do this. Yes, first grade takes alot more "preparation" and lots more of the manipulative type things. But seriously, I have got to utilize my time better! So- hopefully I can make this happen! My girls are at daycare way too long. Yes, I do pay for it, but I'm sick and tired of someone else getting to raise my girls and see their milestones before me!
As for my blog- for you new followers- my blog is not one of those give away, free printable kind of blogs. Mine is a blog FULL of drama, laughs, cries, recipes, and just good life lessons. I'll laugh along the way, and I'll definitely vent about some situations that are bothering me. So get ready!
