 Aurelia and I started working on sleeping. I’ve been putting him in his bed for his naps. It’s painful for both of us and my back might end up breaking but I have 4 weeks before I am going back to work and he needs to be a better and a happier sleeper so for the next month, he’s my number one priority. Nothing else matters as much. Today, my class started at Big Picture Scrapbooking. I adore teaching this class. Today’s download is an overlay for 4×6 photos that makes the edge look like it’s inked.

 We’re back from the beautiful Cayucos. I am in a funk. Not sure why. Too much time to think and not nearly enough time to do. Maybe that’s why…. Today’s download is another tag.

 And today’s Aurelia.  There are some vacations where you go sightseeing and others where you go on adventures. And then there are vacations where we just sit in the hotel, relax, play, watch movies we’ve seen before, feel no obligations whatsoever, go take walks, and just enjoy each other’s company. This has been one of those.  I had a long list of things I wanted to get done. None got done. Yet, I have no regrets. I enjoyed basking in the light of my family.

Catalyst seventy-five is up: What’s the hardest decision you ever made? Karen says: I’ve written about Teach For America before and I will be writing about it again. This is one of the few things in my life where I still need a lot of personal therapy. It’s unfinished for me. I haven’t made my peace with it yet. I am closer than I’ve been but not there yet. I used a digital page for this because I don’t have any good photos from that time in my life. I used this photo of me and my students but blurred out their faces. Thank you for your patience with me as I work my way through this. Journaling Reads: i have never ever quit anything in my life. ever. i try hard to think things thoroughly before i commit to them, and once i do, i don’t walk away. i see it through. all the way. it’s not a competition. it’s not about looking good. it’s just about integrity. i believe in seeing things through. so, while i know deep down that i had no other choice, i still regret quitting teach for america. in my thirty-four years, i have never made a decision that was harder.
 i don’t like that purple bit on the back but too tired to photoshop it… And here’s one from the beach.  And of course a few of my wonderful boys. I love them all madly.    Hope your weekend was fantastic. |
