Life is a series of choices

These are some of the questions I've been contemplating:

• Where do I go from here?
• What more can I do to help those I love?
• Why aren't things turning out the way I planned?

I've been racking my brain trying to find the answers the past few days and I think I've found some.

• Where do I go from here?

Okay, this one was easier than the others because I always kind of knew the answer. I've been disappointed with work not going anywhere, basically feeling stuck. Wanting things to progress, but kind of always knowing they wont.

My solution: Elementary Teacher
Again, I always knew that this was what I wanted to be when I "grew up". I don't know why it took me so long to find the motivation to DO something about it.

I've signed up at an accelerated college and hope to be student teaching in 6 months! Yay!

• What more can I do to help those I love?

This one is a little more tricky. I'm SUPER protective of those I love and will never fully be able to do everything I want for them.

My solution: I'm going to do everything in my power to make them a little bit happier everyday. I'm okay with this. Other opportunities will come along if I keep an eye out.

• Why aren't things turning out how I planned?

Really, does it ever?

Cinderella

I forgot about this version of Cinderella until I saw it on TV tonight. Let me ask you something...




The king and queen:

The prince:

How does that happen??

Just my random thought for tonight. :)

Parental Alienation

This is a subject that I wish I wasn't so familiar with. I grew up seeing this happen to a relative that I love and it's becoming even more common. Why are people so selfish?! You may not get along with your ex, and that's fine, but why make your children suffer? Be the bigger person and do what's best for your children! They need both parents!

I know every situation is unique, but it is possible to be civil and make things work.

You should read this article about parental alienation on the Parental Rights web page. You'd be surprised what some people will do simply because they don't get along with their ex.

All I have to say to you that do this... STOP IT AND GROW UP!
