Well, I tried. However, not only do I not have time to continue blogging at mamlovesteaching, I have very little interest. I'm loving the curriculum I created, and use it daily, but I just don't have the time to mess around with publishing it on the blog, or commenting on it.
So, today I deleted my third blog, and will just get on with my life: feed, change, cuddle, repeat.
I mailed Christmas letters with a baby pic to everyone I believe reads this blog except one friend, whose address I have to track down (initials LB). If anyone else knows me, is still reading this, didn't receive one, and wants one, send me an email and I'll put it in the mail.
Maybe someday I'll have time to write again.

Anti-Procrastination
I'm a list person. Life goals. Daily routines. To-do lists. Things I've never done that will never get done because I don't have to do them.
Well, I'm sick of it! It's time to quit saying, "I wish I could speak Spanish" and just do it.
I will turn thirty on October 14, 2010, and when that day comes, I hope to have a list of thirty accomplishments.
The truth: God is in control. If he wants to send my life in another direction and prevent me from accomplishing these things (especially number 4), he can do that. But that's not for me to worry about.
My list is lower down on this sidebar. What's on your list?
