3.5 weeks

That is all I have left until summer!! Then I can focus on Baby Lee! 

I am so excited to do baby things, although a little timid as I'm afraid to plan things in case lives get kind of hectic. (Which is a big possibility at the moment.) 

So, here's to 3.5 more weeks of helping the kiddos cram info into their brains and then the glorious summer will be here!! (After I work my butt off to empty out my classroom of stuff.)

New blog

Well, I am transitioning to be a mommy/family blogger!! 

For now it's a public blog. I may make it private eventually. If you want to follow, the URL is:

Art, Musings and a new blog

I took a break from art because I just wasn't feeling it. Well, during conference weekend last week, I got out the old pencil, pens, and paper and got to doodling. If you follow my art Instagram, you've seen my Mandala zentangle creations. It is VERY stress relieving, and fun to try out different things, although I'm not very confident with it yet. I'm thinking I'm going to do some names next. 

For musings, I am super far behind! Thank you school. (Only 6 1/2 weeks left!!! Ish.) We had testing this week. I survived, even being 19 weeks pregnant! It was all good! And what feels even better is that I won't be going back in the fall! Thank you baby and a crazy summer that has nothing set in stone! 

A couple weekends ago, I had the chance to attend the AZ Blogger meetup event, and I had a blast! I'm shy, so it's hard for me to go to new things, but it was great! Sorry, no pics! :( 

We've also found out that we are having a little girl! I am so excited, and as much as J says "It's a boy," I know he's really happy. (She will have the poor guy wrapped around her finger from the start!) and little girl is like CRAZY ACTIVE!! If I sit down after work or before I get up in the morning, I can feel her kicking away. She has too much energy already!! Haha and it's only going to get "worse". 

Now, because I'm going to be keeping track of baby and our possibly soon future adventures, I'm starting a new blog as a journal/diary. It will probably be set to private when I start posting. (Again, thank you school! 😑) But I hope to get it up soon. I'll post the link when it's up and running!! 

With a new blog, I'm hoping to not completely neglect this one, but we'll see. This blog will be for all of my random musings, which I occasionally have. Not very often, but sometimes. Haha with the Blogger app, it's easy enough to toggle between bogs. :)

Sorry for the novel! If you made it this far, you deserve a sticker! (Of which there are plenty in my desk at work. So, I seriously could give you one.)

Thanks for reading!!

 

Hiatus

Sorry for the major hiatus!

Between work being super crazy stressful, and crazy things happening, I haven't been blogging!



Work will hopefully get better as the school year winds down! (Only 9 weeks left!!!)

Also, we found out that we are expecting Baby Lee at the end of August!! :D So I am super excited about that!! We find out the gender in just under 3 weeks, and I can't wait to start preparing!! :D


Hopefully I'll work on staying caught up with things now that people know we're expecting. I'm hoping to do post updates about how the pregnancy is going.


I'm debating about starting a new blog for our family. I'm feeling like this blog is less and less important to me. Mostly my url is bugging me. But we'll see. I just need to come up with an awesome url that I won't hate 5 years down the road! ;)

A good week

This past week has actually been pretty good! I got a positive for the lesson plans I wrote and the kids were actually pretty good. 

I feel so bad for my students lately, though. I've been super grumpy with them. They're pretty resilient kids, though! 

So overall, it's been good! 

1 week

It's been one week and I feel like I'm already failing at my goal. 

Starting school again, all I can think is get me out of here! There is no cohesion from my team, though we try. I feel outnumbered by people who are changing the strong school it used to be into a regular public school. And I am beginning to feel like I don't belong. 

For 2 1/2 years, I was pretty happy with the people I was around at my job. Now, I feel like I'm being outcast. 

And it's not just school. I'm starting to feel again like I have no friends at school or anywhere. I don't ever do anything or really go anywhere or spend time with anyone besides J and my family. And I have not felt that way for a long time, so it's kind of a shock! 

Maybe something good is on its way into my life and Satan is trying to keep me from it. I don't know. For now, I'm going to just keep pushing through and doing the best I can. 

Resolutions

Here were three or four goals for the 2013 year. 

1. Finish typing up my story and send it to a some publishers. Not done: ended up having to rewrite about half of it. 

2. Exercise three to four days a week. Not really done: Started weak, did okay during summer, not so much during school. 

3. Read scriptures every day. Doing ok: I started off weak, but I started reading when I eat breakfast, and that seems to help. 

4. Be more decisive when J asks me for an opinion, especially for date nights. Not sure: I am sometimes decisive, and other times not.Hopefully I've gotten better at least?

This year, I think I'm going to simplify even more. I do need to exercise, but I'm going to have one big goal. I'll have smaller goals to accomplish the big one. 

Goal: Be happier. 

I will have to change some things to make that happen. In order to do that, I will need to exercise and control my stress and be better at praying, but I'll need to also keep reading scriptures. So that's my goal, and we'll see how it goes. :) 

Notice blogging is not one of my goals. There are other things I need to do. :) I'll post when I have time and something to say. :)
