So I started this blog for a place to write my thoughts and to communicate day to day things with the best sister in the universe. That was my intention.... and my perfectionism made it into a place where if I didn't think the post was inspiring or "good enough", it was left a draft or un-posted.
My intention was hijacked and for what purpose? To have a blog that has been untouched for a few months shy of TWO YEARS!? Not. Cool.
I remembered this platform as I started an email to a friend, just telling of my day. Here's the thing. To get to know people, you share your life with them. The day to day, the mundane and the adventure. I am hoping this will also help me know myself better. I have said to many people over the years that I want "the boring life stuff" and yet, I find that I have in the past only blogged the adventures or the inspiration. Boring Life Stuff (BLS) is the everyday. Not the drama or excitement, but yet there are still good things and still things I can learn.
So here goes some BLS for today (and maybe a little of my week so far).
Monday I went to the gym. I didn't wait for anyone. I just went. Chris was there and it is always so wonderful to see him. I love to see my boys anytime I can. I sometimes run into him at the gym, but this time he was doing the workout with me. Yay! He was so encouraging and it was a good workout! Lots of MEPs for the challenge a the gym, and my hiney still hurts from the jump squats at the end.
Tuesday was back to school and I was ok with it, but ugh frustrated with the fact that our Destination Imagination 6th grade team is still so unprepared and the time is running out. Talked with Eric about it and felt worse. haha. Tuesday also brought frustration with the school again. The schedules are supposedly done for Unified Arts. I have 5 classes. We were promised 4 classes and two plannings. This has been going on for the entire year and I don't understand why some people just can't seem to do their job. I am sure there is a lesson here, like do your job, Jennifer. Even the annoying ones like washing the dishes before bed.
Today was clubs. Our Admin says do clubs, low stress, have fun. I was silly and choose what I like. Cooking. Mr. S helps me and we spend our own money for food we make, and we have 34 kids to entertain for an hour. Rice Crispy treat for today. It went well except for all the stuff I had to lug from home. I have an email in asking for money if we cook again. This place lacks organization and communication consistently. A lesson for me - to strive for organization and better communication in my own class room and in my own life.
Tonight I will do a weigh in and gym then home to watch the birds I hope. I love that it is staying lighter longer. I think Spring is coming, but the lack of snow is a little crazy!
As I reread I am starting to think Boring Life Stuff can also be Beautiful Life Stuff. Isn't about perspective? I am thankful I have a job, that I have strength, that I have my sons, that I have a place to live that I love and can watch the birds. Give me the BLS.
