If at first you don't succeed.

Today.
A student licked the bottom of his shoe.
I sent two kids into the hall.
I told a student I was sick of him and his behavior.
I wore too much eye liner on my right eye.
I made about a million spelling mistakes that were so lovingly pointed out by my students.
I missed a big ol' curl while straightening my herrr.

But alas....

If at first you don't succeed,

Lay in bed and watch Chopped all night! :) 

Would it be so bad?

I could be blogging about so many other things tonight, but this is what is on the ol mind so this is what's going on the ol blog.

I've been debating about doing something for a long while now. This something could potentionally change a lot of the things in my life. But then again maybe not.

And if it did change those things....would it be so bad?

Would it be so bad if I just did it? If I just manned up for a sec and got it out of the way. Maybe things would change for the better, maybe for the worse, or maybe not at all.

Would it be so bad if it means I don't have to wonder all the time what would/will happen if I just do it? I would know and I could then spend my wonders on other things.

Would it be so bad if the outcome wasn't what I think I want it to be? If it completely changed that part of my life.

Would it be so bad?

Bummer.

I haven't blogged for a very long time obviously.  And that's a bummer.  Maybe not for you, but it is a real bummer for me.  Basically I have no recollection of anything that's happened in my life for the last 8 months or so.  I haven't even written in my journal.  I mean right now it's not that big of a deal because I can remember stuff. But in a few years, I will have nothing to look back on.  That's a real bummer. 

I think the problem is that I don't have a lot of "cool" stuff to blog about.  I worry so much about if the everyday events of my life are "blog worthy".  If anyone really cares to read them.  But I'm getting over that because ya know what? I care to read them. I care to remember them.  So I'm going to get back on this bandwagon and record the everyday things that happen because they are significant! :)
