More Info About Me

Today I'm thankful for:  learning to filter.  I am fairly introspective, but have been known to also be opinionated.  I am trying to learn to better filter what I say and what I just keep inside. I'm thankful that I'm learning.  I fired off an email to someone today and didn't hit send.  Just writing out my thoughts was enough and when I reread, I thought "those are thoughts that simply don't need to be shared."  

On the "Family Front":   Gearing up for my Mom's 70th birthday party.  She is turning 70 next week and we need to celebrate well.   

My Educational Journey:  I'm almost half-way through my third class.  This one is MUCH easier than the last one...less intense assignments.  For that I'm thankful!!

My Running Notes: I have been sick for two weeks (well a couple of weeks ago)...so I redid week 4 again last week.  DS 2 and I switched to week 5 on Friday and tonight I'll do "day 2 of week 5".  That means I walk to warm up and then do an 8 minute run (something I've NEVER done), 5 minute walk, and an 8 minute run.  That's it.  I think I can...I think I can...

What I'm Reading:    The Lovely Bones by Alice Seibold.  Weird book.  

On my Mind:   I made the decision to go ahead and surplus myself at work.  This means that I am throwing myself into the district "vacancy pool" to change jobs.  I want to take LG to another school to give her some other experiences.  Since I'm also working on my degree for Administration, it seems important to get some other experiences before I make that leap.  So...I will not know my "fate" until June 20th.  BUT I am seeing some pretty neat possibilities before me which excite me to no end.  I am happy to be taking this next step in my journey as an educator.
