I guess I'm out of practise with this journal! Sorry to all of you who like to read it, hopefully you're still out there!

Still stuck on the baby wagon. Wanting to make babies, trying to make babies, nothing to report yet, unless you want to hear about the great sex! Lucky me!

School is going great. No big stresses so far. I am trying to maintain ( Read more... )

Time to update. Where to begin.

Africa was amazing. The summer felt like a time-warp, and I wonder where it went, and Africa seems like forever ago. When I look at pictures or come across something significant from the village, I miss it. I miss the people, I miss the pace. I am excited to be home and carry on with the next chapter of my life ( Read more... )

That title is from a Pixies song... that is what was in my mind. So is my "journal title"... sure wish I had some Pixies to take with me... only on tape though. I wanted to do a really good update before we leave, but I'm not so sure it's gonna happen. I should be packing right now. We leave the day after tomorrow! I am still downloading discs to ( Read more... )

OK here we go, a real update. The list:

• stress
• contract
• socially unacceptable
• Africa fundraising

So I have some time. Time to do what I want to today. I have taken the day off because I am sick. Not 'coughing and sneezing' sick, not 'lie in bed with a fever' sick, but 'burned-out, injuring myself, not able to make clear decisions, focus, reason, ( Read more... )

I'm not dead. Just hiding under a rock. Life has been so busy and overwhelming lately, that any moment I get to myself I've been hiding... under the covers... don't tell anyone.

Here's a Dave Matthews song to sum it up:

"So Damn Lucky"Everything's different ( Read more... )

I'm sick. I think I am taking the day off tomorrow, as soon as I decide to call it in. I should really, I rarely take the day off when I am sick and I wrote some quick plans for the day (for a sub). I'll miss my "farewell to the sailors" meeting though. Probably good for me to sleep in, and of course I brought marking home so that I am not ( Read more... )

where to start... where to start...

Fuck all those people who think that they can just sit back and let the world fly by without giving a shit about anybody else. Fuck all the people who throw money at problems without learning about what is going on in the world. Fuck all the people that sit in thier comfy houses and tell me that what I am doing ( Read more... )

Yikes, lots of negativity in the air lately. I had a tough time handling it last night, and then I was ok when I went to bed, had undisturbed dreams, and then wham, it was there again in the morning. I guess it is to be expected. First I will fill you in ( Read more... )

Ok, I've got to start with a list today:

• my husband
• africa
• babies
• weight/ acne/ self confidence
• teaching

Well, our big fundraiser is tomorrow evening and it feels like my whole life is about fundraising lately. Sorry to all my friends, I know I have become extremely boring lately going on about all this stuff, but it should be over soon! Hopefully it will all be worth it ( Read more... )
