Snowed-In and Stir-Crazy!

We had a pretty big snow that cancelled school for a whole week. That normally would be great news for a teacher, but I'm kind of over it. I am ready to go back and get the new semester going! Jackson and Justin had fun playing in the snow although the second day it was super windy. They didn't stay out long that day. I have taken advantage of the boys going back after only two days out to relax. Two days I went to Buckheads and just relaxed over a long lunch. Ahhhh. Very nice....

Now I am ready to declare my resolutions for this year. These are basically my faults and how I plan to work on them:

1. I want to become less of a recluse. The longer I teach, the more introverted I become. I think it is because teaching is like acting and you have to be "on" all the time. When I am done, I am just exhausted!

2. I want to be less moody. Pregnancy hormones aside, I am pretty moody. I hate that feeling and so often I feel out of control when it comes to my moods. I know with God's help I can overcome this. It is especially difficult with my hormones raging right now and not being able to take some of my "crazy" medicine!

3. Tolerance. This is not the type of politically correct tolerance that we hear about. This is the type of tolerance that will allow me to look past the faults of others. Part of this goes back to me being moody, but not all of it. I know I have faults and I need to be more tolerant of the faults of others. This does not mean I want to take back my pet peeve list. It just means I will take a breath and look the other way instead of acting upon my feelings when those things happen!

4. Be a good mother and wife. Above and beyond everything else on this list, I want to be a better wife and mother. This means having more patience with the boys, doing a better job at cleaning and cooking, and paying more attention to Joey.

I'm sure there are a million other things that I can come up with and I will add them as I think of them. For now, I'm off to finish homework with the boys and cook supper. See - I am doing better already!
