Lesson of the Day:

Your life is what it is because of choices you have made. With few exceptions, everyone is exactly where they have chosen to be. If you want something badly enough and are willing to make the sacrifice, you can achieve anything. If you’re not willing to make the sacrifice, then that’s a choice too. You are choosing to remain in the position that you are. It’s all in your power. Take the reigns of your life and make it what you want to be. 

So, crazy bitches spamming my FB page with posts about how miserable you are: STOP IT! If you are unhappy about something, change it. If something makes you miserable, walk away from it. It you are desperate to have something, then have it. If you aren’t willing to make the sacrifice, enjoy what you aren’t willing to sacrifice. 

Happiness really is in everyone’s grasp. You just have to be willing to reach for it.

My earliest memory…

My earliest memory is from my 3rd birthday. I remember getting a Barbie from my Aunt Ellen and I remember my grandma coming in and handing me a kitten stuffed animal which was dressed up in an old lady dress and glasses. It carried a basket of yarn, as if it were about to knit. I ingeniously named it, “Grandma Kitty”. 

My children will be 4 on Monday. They have a few memories now that they will carry with them to adulthood. 

Man, that’s scary.

“ Overall, teen birthrates remain highest in America’s most religious, politically conservative and blue-collar states.
The Atlantic (via climateadaptation)

What a shock. Hiding under a rock and pretending kids won’t have sex if you forbid it actually isn’t an effective birth control method. Condoms, kids. If you can’t get your parents to get you a prescription, go to the local drug store and buy some Trojans. Your future will thank you.

Almost of Me: I just graded a million papers.

notso-darling:

And now I’m like a 14 year old who just drank a 2-Litre of coke and is totally giggling with her friends at four in the morning goofy (not that I’ve ever experienced this combination of events, of course).

In other news, I had my students research the West Memphis 3 and include it in their papers…

Cookie man, tell me what your story is…
