It has been a while since I've written anything in here. My life is a whirlwind right now and my emotions are in high gear. I promise more explanations will be forthcoming. For now I am still hanging in there albeit by a very thin thread. In any case for those of you wondering, I am doing better, and still keeping on keeping on ( Read more... )

So the first two days have gone off without a hitch. Knock on wood. I have indeed struck terror into the hearts of my fresh round of sophmores. I have seen some of you. One person who will remain nameless has already hit me up to type up her paper due for next class on my computer. One student wants to fix me up with his dad. Uh, no but ( Read more... )

another year of school looms on the horizon. I am better prepared this time. For those of you who know me don't spread it around who I am on this LJ. And don't tell your friends that I'm cool or anything. I want to strike terror into those hot off the beaches of Mexico sophs that heard I was fun and exciting. LIES! I'm mean! Get it ( Read more... )

I've rather abandoned this little side journal. Don't mean to but since I bought a new house a month ago I've been moving every night, buying stuff for my house, and settling in. This is my very first home and I love it. It's a two-storyhouse with 3-bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths, a 2-car garage, a living room, dining room, utility room, and kitchen. It ( Read more... )

Summer school has been going great. The more I am around teenagers the more I feel like I am making a difference and the more I learn about them and myself. Too often I think adults get bogged down in only one narrow view point of children and don't really listen to what they have to say. which is why I have always treated my son like a person ( Read more... )

I got married and left my house at 21. My husband was 21 too. We lived in apartments and rent houses for the ten years we were together. After I divorced him I moved into a two-bedroom apratment with my son. For the first time in my life I was living on my own. I lived in that apartment for two years. I was so completely happy there. It was a ( Read more... )

Ah a weekend alone. My dad went to Mexico to pick up my mom so here I am with the house all to myself. And what do I do with my time? Sit in front of the tube all day. I never expected to move back in with my parents as an adult and bring my child with me but that's the turn life took for me. I will be moving out soon though. I've been with ( Read more... )

The signs are there.

I see and feel with care.

Time to break free of this fear.

Time to gather the energies near.

I started summer school today. Wow, talk about the blind leading the blind. No books, or any materials for the first hour. So I winged it. Then I ransacked another teacher's classroom for the books and other stuff I needed. It was a long day but I got through it ( Read more... )

Sometimes I deliberately don't turn on the A/C and let my house get like a sweatbox. Then I start to sweat, my clothes stick to me, my hair is plastered to the back of my neck, and the sensation is akin to being in a sauna. I like it. I like the summer time. Even though the sun is dangerous at high noon, I sometimes like the dizzy, almost ( Read more... )
