It was supposed to snow this morning.  It didn't snow, and I am so incredibly disappointed along with all of the other teachers out there.

I've got a song stuck in my head... "Alaska" by Little Hurt.  It's got explicit lyrics, but I wish I could listen to it at school because its super catchy.  It talks about moving to Alaska and hating snow but taking a chance and just doing the things.  I love this song and Norah knows all of the lyrics, which makes me smile when I hear her sing it. 

My grad school class starts tomorrow and I'm actually really excited to start it.  I feel like I've got a good habit of waking up early to do things so I'll have a good routine set up for my "homework time".  

I've also started doing crafts while I read or do grade things so it doesn't feel so much like "work", which is fun.  I'm currently crocheting 1) a hat, 2) a scrunchie hair bow thing, 3) a baby blanket for my neighbor's baby girl who was just born, and 4) a backpack purse that I started in the summertime during our vacation.

Have a great day today, Friends.  It's a great Monday!  :) -Sarah

So Come On...

"So Come On..."  -Death Cab for Cutie, Trasatlanticism  There are only four days left in 2019.  How are you going to spend them?  I am planning out several things for 2020, and I cannot wait to get started on the New Year.  Hence, The Lesson Plans for Living.   I was going to wait until after New Years 2020 to post this, but I am feeling rather nostalgic about things right now.  So here we go! I just did something that I've wanted to do for a couple of years... About 15 minutes ago, I renewed my domain and I'm writing once again.  I am so proud of myself for taking this opportunity and this leap of faith despite not having everything figured out quite yet. I have created this place as an outlet to write nearly three years ago and then I got busy with Life and it fell to the wayside, as did several other ideas.  I am the self-appointed Queen of Projects, but I am also the worst at finishing anything.  All of my ideas are constantly in progress.  I am OK with t

Nine Years Ago

Good Morning, Friends.   At 5:00AM this morning, I woke up and made my coffee, fought the cats off my desk (and away from my coffee), and then decided to read some of my older stuff.  I had completely forgotten about the blog that I started several years ago called "The Adventures of Myself".  And when I say it was a blog, it was literally one post.  What happened, I can assume, is that graduate school started back up and life happened.  I got busy and forgot about it, which is typical for me.   Nearly a decade later, I am going to attempt to not quit what I start.  It was a goal nine years ago, and I am going to continue with it into 2020.   Below is a copy and pasted version of "The Adventures of Myself" and the one post that I wrote on January 4, 2011.  I was a newlywed at the time and in graduate school full-time.  Its been a lifetime since then, but my goals this year are pretty much the same.   Here is to 2020 and actually doing the things that are m

Agenda - January 2nd

“Our words have power, but our actions shape our lives.” ―  Rachel Hollis,  Girl, Wash Your Face: Stop Believing the Lies About Who You Are so You Can Become Who You Were Meant to Be This is a brainstorming list of all the things I need to do after about three days of basically being a lazy napping sloth around the house.  It's going to be rainy and we'll likely be stuck inside, so it's the perfect kind of day today to do projects like this.   All of Norah's laundry will be put away in drawers and her closet space All of Sarah's laundry will be put away in drawers and her closet space All of Chris's laundry will be put away in drawers and in his closet space All of the dishes will be washed I will cook dinner tonight - Spaghetti and Salad I will give Winnie his kitten shots I will read 3 chapters of my homework book I will work on my family's updated budget spreadsheet for 2020 I will work on my schedule for next week in regards to teaching I
