Thinking About Things On Tuesday

Too tired to write a proper blog post. Worked, came home, went back to a (rather short) CPR class, came home again. Watched an episode of Spring Baking Championship. Surprised by who went home this week, I’d have gone the other way if I were the judges. And now, time for a blog post.

Just a random list of a few things I’m thinking about tonight:

  • Why I’ve woke up at 4:44 a few times in the last couple of weeks, enough for me to notice. Weird, right?
  • Some family situations I found out about on Sunday (a niece going through a divorce)
  • My work. Do I throw my hat in for a full-time job? Or not. I’m perfectly happy to keep subbing but a steady schedule might be nice. Of course, I also like the idea of a year to get things in order around here and then, re-evaluating the work situation. Then, I have to think how long would I have to wait for a classroom I want again?
  • Why I’ve used the word situation twice now in one post
  • When I’m going to get to the grocery store this week
  • All the flowers I want to buy and plant in the next few days….going to need self-control!
  • If everything is set for J to graduate, whether he’ll do the pomp and circumstance stuff for me
  • The fact that I need new work clothes, did I mention this list was random?
  • Does this post need a picture? Only one to share is a not so great shot of the end of the driveway flower garden:
  • I’d like to do a special post for the 100th day of blogging but it’s tomorrow and I have nothing planned. Maybe something will come to me by then.

Well, at least this list isn’t rattling through my brain at midnight, right?  Do you ever get the million (I didn’t give you the full list) thoughts rattling around in your brain?

    1. I usually just read until I fall asleep to try to keep from having all the thoughts bombard me at night. Doesn’t always work but most nights it does.

  1. I absolutely get those million thoughts running through my head. Lately they have been bombarding me between 12:30AM and 4:00AM. It is crazy.
    Good luck on the job front. I think if you are considering it, then you should go for it. You can always turn them down if they do offer it to you and you have second thoughts. What does your gut say? I am also wondering if a full time job opens up should I apply for it. Speaking of those thoughts…. lol.
    Hope you have a less busy day today!

    1. Thank you. After talking it over with my husband, he thinks I should wait another year which really kind of makes sense. However, we’ll see how things go over the summer. I ended up working on Thursday as well but it was a good (though tiring) day. It’s hard to know what to do regarding the work once the kids are in school but of course, the nice thing about being a sub/part-time is the flexibility it provides.

  2. I’m also a fan of flowers and gardening, so I can relate to your desire to buy and plant new flowers. It’s good to exercise self-control though, and perhaps space out your purchases over time.

    As for your 100th blog post, I’m sure something will come to you in time. You could look back at your first blog post and reflect on how far you’ve come since then. It’s important to take breaks and not put too much pressure on yourself. Keep up the good work and take care of yourself!

    1. Yes, I usually try to go once a week but it rained today so that helped me not go and buy everything. I was off on my counting so the 100th day slipped right by me. Solved that issue I suppose. Ha.

  3. Sweet photo, Definitely often get a million thoughts racing round my head at once.
    I don’t know about the work situation, will you be able to get a suitable job if you wish to return. Can you afford it and what will you do with your time… sorry but one question leads to another. The Million thoughts are coming back to me now ha ha. Take care. Cathy x

    1. Thank you. I am currently working as a sub which I’ve done from the beginning. And have been told on more than one occasion just to let them know if/when I’m every ready to work full-time. It’s starting to feel like time but looks like maybe I’ll be waiting one more year. I’m happy with what I do now and fortunate that it’s enough for us for now as well. Thanks for the additional questions, always good to consider things from more than one perspective. Hope you’re having a great weekend!
