Time Flies

So many things have happened in the last 6 years. It is crazy to see how things have changed and how we have changed. So grateful to have found the love of my life. 2 years ago Monday he proposed and made me the happiest woman in the world :) I can't believe I am so lucky. 

I am crazy in love with this man! So grateful to be married to my best friend. Pardon the mushyness but it is Valentine's Day . . . . . . .  well almost.

Procrastination

Why is it that when I have a million things to do I find every excuse in the book to not do it. At this point I know that I am going to be up entirely to late  Sunday night in an effort to get everything done I need to get done. In an hour or so I will be tired and make up an excuse that I have plenty of time tomorrow to write a weeks worth of lessons for 3 classes that I need to do quite a bit of studying to figure out exactly what to teach them. Overwhelmed. I hear this feeling goes away after the first semester or gets better at least. I am waiting patiently for this feeling to go away and until then, smile and nod so that I don't give away the fact that I don't know what's going on half the time andhope that my kids actually learn something . . . eventually. So much to do, so little time and I am getting pretty good at wasting the time I do have. I will figure this out I know I will. i just need to FOCUS!

Super Bowl Sunday!

This is a day I have been very excited about for a little while now. There are a few things that have been very constant in my life from day one, we go to church every Sunday and we root for the Pack! God and football. I think there are a few people in the world that can empathize with me on this one although the team may be different. There is something about football that brings people together. I am proud to be a Cheesehead. I am very grateful to my parents for raising me with great values, being a Packer is one of them :) God and football, the two constant things in my life since before I can remember ( other than people obviously) So excited for my boys today! We are in it to win it!  GO PACK GO! I'm praying for ya!

All by Myself

I have about a million things to do. So many things I could be doing to be a better teacher, books to read, papers to grade, lessons to plan. But I am blogging. I had lunch today with a wonderful friend, went to church tonight and I really should not be left alone. I am so not productive with out Curt here. Even we he isn't doing anything, I am so much more productive with him around.

I am not used to being alone either, which makes me not want to do anything. This should be the perfect time for me to get things done but I really don't feel like it. I am very excited about watching my beloved Packers in the Super Bowl but very jealous that Curt is actually there and I am here. I don't have time to go, and it really wouldn't have worked out but I really wish he was here. We don't get to spend a whole lot of time together usually and he'll be gone two weekends in a row. I don't like being alone. I have always had a sister, a best friend, a roommate or Curt ( Curt sometimes being the roommate :) ) and I just don't do well by myself. I like it when another warm body is in the room.

I am also famous for being a procrastinator, hence the blog. I would not be blogging if I didn't have a million things to do; it is just how I work. One day I hope to be crazy organized and a neat freak and someone who is always on top of things, apparently that day is not today.  I need wisdom and love from above and I know it will come. Motivation . . . please . . . . . Motivation.

"But if anyone among you is in need of wisdom, let him petition God, who gives abundantly to all without reproach, and it shall be given to him. " James 1:5 

Snow Day!

Snow day in San Antonio was an experience. The news was hilarious and highly entertaining. It made me realize I am so happy to call Oklahoma home. Texas still isn't quite home for me. Home is where the heart is and I am half and half at this point. Love living with Curt and love this life we are building together, but missing my family very much. Especially on days like today. Days when I love being stuck with them because we have so much fun together. We always played cards and games and as long as there was enough beer or liquor to last us as long as we were snowed in . . . life was fabulous :) 

This is all it took to shut the city down . . . in San Antonio's defense we do have a lot of elevated highways that are conducive to ice!  So glad this city is not equipped in the slightest for any time of snow/ice! 

This was a much needed day though. I am so grateful for a day to get life together. Curt stayed at home today also which made it even better. The house is now officially clean which is amazing. I am finding less and less time to do that now that I work all the time.  Being organized is something that I thought I was really good at and turns out I am pretty terrible. I am a work in progress, as most of us are. I am going to try extra hard this week to keep things neat and tidy and most of all keep all of my school stuff organized. I feel like I am always one step behind. Most days I feel like I am drowning and the only thing thats saving me is a lifejacket, but we are still headed for a waterfall so the drop is inevitable.  I know everything will work out though. This snow day proves it. Not that I have my snow day I am ready for 60 degree weather. Definitely ready for the perks that come with living in South Texas.
