New Year

Well, it is a new year! Love the whole new year new fresh start. Am looking forward to many new experiences and new events this year. Looking to do better with our budget now that Christmas is over. Why is it that it seems no matter how much you save, it just isn't enough. We have made a plan about next year and I plan to stick with it. We did much better this year than we have done in the past. Hopefully next year will be better as well.



My hope is to be a more patient person and to interrupt less. My mind always seems to be going really fast and I always seem to be three steps/thoughts ahead of everyone else and just interrupt. I heard a teacher I work with refer to it as "brain robbing" the other day when a student blurted out the answer when it was another student's turn. I am going to try so hard to not interrupt.





Start classes in a week. A bit nervous about that but not abnormally so. I have started many a new class in the last couple years (usually one a semester) but took the fall semester off so I am taking two this semester. Worried about juggling classes, doing my best teaching, working on committees (another new thing this school year), and being a good mother and wife. Don't know how everything will get done but bet I will utilize all but a couple hours of the day (hey, a girl has to sleep sometime, right?!?). I would share a new pic but I haven't uploaded in a while. Will have to soon as the camera has almost 400 pics on it (oops). So, old photo it is. I think it sums up the Holiday season pretty well.
