many hats....only one head....

many hats, only one head....and not nearly enough brain these days. i used to be soooo on top of things. i mean, organized, house cleaned, time to go to the gym...homemade dinners. just call me mini-martha. then i had kids. two of them. in less than two years. and then husband got a new (much better, much more demanding job). and then i got "demoted" from fourth grade to first grade teacher. so for eight hours (or more, if i have to tutor...but that will be another post) i also care for 24 first graders.


yes, that means my total time, alone, without my (or anyone else's) children is LITERALLY about two and a half hours each day. which flies by. and 20 of that is back and forth to school and daycare! and an hour and 15 minutes of that is my planning and lunch.....so working to escape the kids is not working! (ha)

none of which would be a problem if i could keep my big mouth shut. "sure, i'll host that", "no problem, sponsor a club", "what? someone needs what? you got it..." you see, i need to help. i don't know what is wrong with me. but, if you know the cure.....

here goes nothin'

okay...so i am trying blogging. we'll see. i am nervous about my ability to keep up.
probably no one will read this...so it will be okay. if anyone does read this, and you have tips...please lemme know.

okay. and i am behind the times on games and stuff...but i follwed a link from who-knows-where and came across this game called typeracer . it is ridiculous. you are a little car, and the faster you type the sentence, the faster your little car goes. and you are doing this all while racing random people like yourself (who generally type much faster!) the first couple of times i did it, it was goofy. and then addicting. and then you find yourself actually caring about wether or not you beat someone named born2hack while typing sentances from Juno and other great movies.
