I am having some serious Mommy brain. My toddler is still nursing and I just feel like he's sucking brain cells right out with his mama's milk. What do I do when my brain is running a thousand miles a minute and I feel like I can't remember my own name, much less the hundreds of things that are on my to-do list, my to-worry-about later list, my what-needs-to-happen-sooner-than-later list? Well, first and foremost, I avoid. I am a grade A avoider. So right now, I am watching the emotionally-wrenching Grey's Anatomy (btw, OMG OMG OMG. This is TOO MUCH right now but I CAN'T STOP). What else do I do? I list. I make lists. So, while there's a commerical break, here's a quick list:
1. While I look forward to summer, one of those high points of being a teacher, I hate how things finally are starting to click with some students and in just three weeks, I won't have them anymore. And I hate how ridiculously busy the end of the year gets and I feel like all I do is rush, rush, rush.
2. We bought a new car. A (used) Mazda 5, which is basically a wagon with third row seating, so we can fit our entire family in one car. It's like a mini minivan. I miss my Jeep, but I'm so into the Mazda right now.
3. A student recently told me that I was her mentor. That may be one of the greatest compliments in my entire life. She is an amazing student and would be without my influence, but I still feel so honored. I hope I can do her justice.
4. I keep thinking about how doing new things together can help bind people to one another. I feel like I want to make an effort to do new things with Jason, with my family and with my friends. I want to strengthen those connections.
5. All of this extra fiber in my diet doesn't seem to be helping with the weight loss. I think it may be time for more drastic measures (i.e. some serious calorie reduction. Ugh. Too bad I love to eat).
That's all I've got for now. I hope to come back this weekend with something a little more... substantial.
