Enough! (Kids Should Know)


Enough is enough...  Kids (of all ages) should know the power of endurance and knowing when to "throw in the towel".  When it's cold and miserable and one's feeling ill, it's important to keep going even when it feels as though it's impossible.  I haven't been to the gym since Sunday because I'm fighting some kind of infection or sickness or tiredness or depression or...  My head has been ready to explode.  This morning I was late for school because I went to Walgreens first for Advil Cold and Sinus (actually Walgreens' generic).  Later in the day I called the school nurse to see if I could take Sudafed (again generic) with the cold and sinus.  She suggested I may be sleepy, so I told her I would take a nap in my room.  Why do I share this?  I don't know.  I don't have anything to post about because my headache is crazy, and this winter can only be referred to as something to endure.

I hate having to teach when I'm sick. I hate sudafed, but I do take it sometimes when I can't breathe through my nose.

UGH. I hope you got some sleep last night.

Is that your dog?

She's officially my dad's dog, but I consider her mine. She came to visit on Sunday and stayed the night.

Sankalpa Day 5

Today I went back to the interweb to find out what I could post about that would relate to sankalpa .  "...Sankalpa has the potential to release tremendous power by clearly defining and focusing on a chosen goal."  My chosen goal since May has truly been on being physically active.  Since it's cold and miserable out, I've been being active inside instead of outside.  December 6th (or something like that) was the last time I ventured outside for physical activity.  I, however, have still been going to they gym and focusing on being physically fit (or at least burning enough calories to eat more food).  Yesterday I received an early morning text from a friend in God's Country .  President Obama was talking about "The President's Challenge" .  Today (I tried yesterday and decided to put it off until today... forget out it... let it happen... put it aside... clear my mind of it... all probably sankalpa) I formed a group.  The...

What if... The Delivery

  Molly was excited to get a package from her friend who lives in Alaska.  When she opened the box, she was confused.  Although the shirt was actually soft and of good quality, she was upset by the guns in the flag.  When she googled Holster's, it was exactly what she thought... pro-gun.  She didn't know how to handle the situation, so she sent a picture stating she was confused. Her friend had obviously lost her mind.  During the conversation, she kept proclaiming that she hadn't sent a t-shirt.  When Molly explained it was her writing on the box, things became weird.  The friend was in a state of denial.  Molly even sent a text with a picture of the writing on the box. Molly's friend was adamant that she sent homemade condiments.  She wouldn't give up on her story even though it was clear Molly is in possession of an NRA type t-shirt.  After much deliberation, the two friends realized what had happened.  The original box, wit...

Missing You

Two Sundays ago I missed church because I was out of town. Last Sunday I missed church because I could not get to church due to the marathon (blocking my path... not my running). Dad and I tried to leave early, but we did not leave early enough. I joked with Dad about the fact that they would miss me at church. When I checked my e-mail this evening, I actually had an e-mail from my pastor saying I was missed. It was a short e-mail, but it was sweet and definitely a positive part of my day.
