Its official

I am enrolled in school! At the age of almost 38 (wow, I sure don't feel that age) I am going back to school. I have enrolled with the University of Phoenix as a full time student. I am working towards my AA in Human Services and when I am done with that I plan on moving on to my BA in the same field. All of my classes are online, which freaks me out a little but I am hoping I will manage ok. So my 3 week orientation starts on Monday and my first day of class will be Feb 28th. Wish me luck! This is a very busy time of year for me anyhow, so hoping I can keep it all balanced.

Conversations with Blake

I swear I could dedicate this entire blog to conversations with my youngest child...

Blake "Mom, can I get a tattoo when I am older?"
Me " Well sure, you can do what you want when you're eighteen"
Blake "Good because me and Keegan want to get a tattoo that has something to do with Josh"
Me " I think that would be nice"
Blake " Ya something to do with baseball"
Me " Ya that would be good"
Blake " I know, we will get a bag of hot fries, a Slurpee and a baseball tattooed on us!"
Me " lol"
Blake " No really and on the hot fries instead of Andy's hot fries we'll get Josh Johnson Hot fries!"
Me " Well good thing you cant get one until your eighteen, maybe by then you wont think hot fries and Slurpee's will make a cool tattoo!"
Blake " I will still think its cool"

lol Oh my child.

Anger

I find anger to be one of the most time wasting emotions there is. I used to be angry a lot, now I am rarely angry. Often now if I feel anger coming on I am able to talk myself out of it. I used to have this self talk in my head that would build my anger to the bursting point! Slowly over the years I learned to talk in a more positive way to myself. I literally have conversations in my mind lol I ask myself what good will getting angry in this situation do? And the answer is almost always nothing. It will do no good at all. The only think that will happen is I will feel like crap, the person I am angry with will feel like crap and nothing gets solved. Usually by the time I am angry, whataver it is that got me there is done. Anger can't undo it, but it can certainly make things worse. So most of the time now I handle things very calmly and rationally. My husband and kids are so used to my calm nature that if I ever do get angry you'd think the world ended! Can't really blame them though. Anyhow you should all try some positive self talk when you find yourself feeling angry about something.  =)
