Well, you may have found me at the Texans game today!! I spent all of my time planning for the birthday surprise of the century! I had a great time, and I did a GREAT job of moderating how much I allowed myself to indulge in the atmosphere. You know what I'm talking about....giant nachos, footlong hotdogs, turkey legs bigger than your head!! Well, I only had 2 things, both of which I split with my wonderful husband. If that's not called self-control. I don't know what is!
On another note, I must admit that this school year has been THE hardest yet. For the first time in a very long time (ahem, wve days, ahem) I actually wanted to quit. Employee morale is sooo low....which surprisingly helped me out. Somehow, knowing that everyone else on my campus is as disgusted and disheartened as I am made me feel better. It's not onen of those "misery loves company" kind of things. It's more like a "I'm not crazy; this is not just me" kind of thing. Which, now, I'm sure you can see why it made a difference. I understand that change must come...but all change isn't good. I wish people understood that more. But, I must confess, this has made me even more dedicated to my students. It's going to be one of those "close my door and mind my own business" kind of years...I can see that already. The saddest part of it all is this: a lot of good teachers have NO interest in returning to our campus next year. How do I know this?! Well let's just say that when anyone in my profession tells you "I'm keeping my options open," that really translates to, "I'm looking for a job, and if I get an offer I'm outta here!" What am I doing you ask? Well, let's just say I'm keeping my options open, lol!
My action item for this post is: developing an exercise routine/schedule. I know what you're thinking, and yes, I too have trouble finding time to exercise. With no marathon to train for this year, I haven't had the motivation that I'm used to having. But, where there is a will, there is a way. So the next time you hear from me, I'll be updating you on what I am doing to make sure that I find time to exercise.
On a final note, I want to stress to you that God is able to exceeding, abundantly above all that you can ask or think. I know that He can do it for you because He does it for me EVERYDAY!
Until next time....
