How I did it
How to homeschool my children
It took me
4 months
It made me
satisfied

How I did it: I went down to the school board and signed a waver stating I was going to homeschool my son. For our family this wasn't something that I could just do and we all had to be on the same page. The first year we worked with a curriculum and allowed our son to pick the direction of his learning. The second year we did more of an unschooling approach. This year our son turned 9 and is in his 4th year of homeschooling and I have returned to work… Read how I did it…

How to be a good mother
It took me
1 year
It made me
focus on my son.

How I did it: I have wondered about this goal - how does one define when they are a good mother or how does one become a good mother? I know for me I have felt for a long time that perhaps I wasn't doing all I could for the benefit of my son... and because of that our family experience was lacking. I have rearranged my priorities and I feel I have reached this goal... but it is something I am going to strive to continue to do. I made him and he's certa… Read how I did it…

How to sleep normal people hours (stop staying up so damn late, and sleeping all day..)
It took me
90 days
It made me
feel better!

How I did it: I got a "normal job", exercised, and stopped smoking. It sounds less fun than it really is... but it has been worth it. I have found now that I am working and being more active during the day I am getting better sleep and more regular sleep. Read how I did it…

buy a car
Carless - has it's downsides.... 2 months ago

I am greatly happy about our carless experiment. I like that I have learned to use public transportation and that I am learning to take my bike places that I can… but sometimes you just need a car. This summer we did zero camping and hiking which is just sad… and there are times that it is certainly more convenient to have your own vehicle.

I am really interested in getting something that’s not a total gas guzzler and something that won’t die in the next 3 months…. This is going to be a bigger goal than I thought.

The first step is to create a budget. We are going to work on our credit too so we can get something half way decent (which likely will mean car payments….) It’s a start though. We can do it :)

exercise regularly
Working on it.... but not there yet.... 2 months ago

I have started taking the stairs at work 3-4 days a week (that’s me lugging all 360 lbs up 7 flights! woo) and started riding my bike to work 2 days a week. I live about 9 miles to work and so 2 days is all I can handle right now… but I am building on it. I am already noticing positive changes in my body and rediscovering my love of being active.

I would really like to incorporate some gym and yoga time into my week. There is even a gym AT my work… so I really have no excuses! I am going to keep this in mind and set a reminder for myself to work more on this goal. I think it is something that is very much worth it!

#43 - Nothing Came Out - The Moldy Peaches 14 months ago

Just because I don’t say anything,
Doesn’t mean I don’t like you.
I open my mouth and I try and i try
But no words came out.

Without 40 oz. of social skills
I’m just an ass in the crack of humanity.
I’m just a huge manitee.
A huge manitee.

And besides you’re probably holding hands
With some skinny, pretty girl that likes to
Talk about bands and
All I wana do is ride bikes with you
And stay up late and watch cartoons.

Duck Tales, shirt tails, Talespin, Sailor Moon, GI Joe, Robotech, Ron Jeremy, Schmoo.

I wanna watch cartons with you.
Josie and the Pussycats and Scooby Do,
I want you to watch cartoons with me.
He-man, Voltron and Hong-Kong-Fui

I tried to ask you to your face
But no words came out.
I put on my hood and walked away,
That doosn’t mean I don’t like you.

And besides your probably holding hands
With some skinny, pretty girl that likes to
Talk about bands and
All I wanna do is ride bikes with you,
And stay up late and maybe spoon.

Just becase I dont say anything
Doesn’t mean I dont like you.
No…
I opened my mouth and i tried and i tried.

And besides you’re probably holding hands
With some skiny, pretty girl that likes to
Talk about bands and
All I wanna do is ride bikes with you.
And stay up late and watch cartoons.

I’m just your average Thundercats ho.
