for those of you not lucky enough to live with or be really close to a teacher, you might not get this. so i'll explain. teachers live by a different clock and calendar. for the general public, resolutions for a better life are made each year on jan 1. and broken by february, maybe march (if you are super stubborn!). not so with educators. we resolve to do things on the day before the last day of school. that is when we have a (almost) three month break in which to focus on whatever, and so our thoughts turn to self-improvement.
naturally, it is much easier to resolve to exercise, home-cook, turn off the tv, when you have three months away from your job, and you can focus only on those things! of course, i do still have two major distractions from those goals, but hey, i love em!
so i am changing one of my lists on the side....in a little while, i will post a list of my "summer resolutions". as my friend monica says, if you go public with your goals, you are held to them. and since i don't do too well with any type of failure, that will be a big motivator. who knows, i might even post what exercise i did, just to hold myself even more responsible. we'll see.
did ya' check out my widget over there --->
its pretty cool, huh? i hope that shelf will be super full by the end of the summer. i am a nerd. i am okay with that.
and yes, i can hear the snickering about the "strong-willed child". we all gotta have help sometimes.....
