Abbylicious

My youngest is so full of energy; if I could bottle it and sell it I’d be rich! She is so determined and stubborn, and right now tantrums rock the house if things don’t go her way! However, she has a vivid imagination and watching her grow makes me smile. With a foot stool for a stage and a Hannah Montana microphone in hand, she dances and belts out songs she makes up at the top of her lungs. Her confidence and self esteem inspire me! I always tell my students that at the age of 4 they too were like my little Abbylicious. She is told she is smart, adorable, and loved, and she believes it! I dread sending her to school where her peers will change her mind. How do we teach her that sometimes she has to concede, but that she should never let her love of just being Abby change?

Arynne in Wonderland

Like Alice, I often feel as I am wandering around in a world of nonsense. I’m hoping to avoid the MADness and to fill my days doing things that aren’t pointless. Michael says I’m an eternal pessimist. I say I’m a realist. Although, lately, I have had a tendency to view the glass as half empty. I think it is because I never have time to accomplish everything I need to do. I’m like the White Rabbit, always late for a very important date ~ literally! Like many of you, I’m overcommitted to the breaking point, and these are situations of my own design. I guess I try to convince myself that chaos is fun! I hope to blog my way to a more positive way of thinking. Otherwise it’s, ”Off with her head!”

Inspired!

Having been inspired by a friend’s blog, here I sit at 2:30 a.m. trying to create one of my own. So many blogs I had read up to this point had seemed to be glossy overviews of lives that seemed too perfect to exist. However, I feel that it may serve a purpose to jot down inspired thoughts and feelings or to share ideas and projects. So today, I join the blogfest!
