Thoughts

If you are reading this then welcome to my blog. A few of my very good friends have one of these blogs, so I decided that I would give it a shot also. I do not live a very exciting life so why exactly do I need a blog? The reason is ..... well honestly I am sitting here at 10:00 on a Friday night with nothing to do.

I am really burned out with life right now. No vacation for over two years is starting to take a toll on me. But I received a complement that really gave me the extra shove I needed to keep on keeping on (as Joe Dirt would say). I was told that I am very good at what I do and that I am such a great person. Those are the types of comments that make me wonder if I really am. I constantly wondering if the person I am today is the person I want to be. I wish I had more confidence, I wish that I am not such a push over, I wish more stick-to-it-tiveness. My life is great as it is right now, my family is amazing and I have THE best friends anyone could ask for. But the traits I listed are things that drive me nuts about myself.

I am currently house sitting for my mother as she heads for her week long cruise along the coast of Mexico down to Panama. Mother's Day is the weekend, and it is going to be weird not to have my mom home for the day. But I believe it is very important that all of us treat our mothers , or mother figures in our live, like queens, not only on Mother's Day, but as often as we can. A fact that few people know about Mother's Day is that the holiday can be traced back to my hometown of Albion, MI. There is a sign standing in Reager Park right along Ionia Street that tells the story of the first Mother's Day. So to every mom out there, thank you for everything that you do, you all are indeed very special people.

Today I finished my observation of a special education program. All of the kids that I have encountered during these observation are all very cool kids. They were nothing but nice to me and welcomed me into their classrooms. The rest of the school appeared as if all the students could break out into song and dance at any moment. A very typical Disney type high school with "attractive" kids walking all over the place (this is a rant for another day).

I will end my blog here today. Have a great day!
