Apparently I Blog More When I Have 1,452,779 Things To Do
// 9.23.09 // Filed under: Homeschooling, Link Love, Parenting, Thriving
So, yeah, I’ve been updating my blog an average of twice per month, but today you get two posts in one day! I have a lot of random thoughts to get down, so I am making a list (copied from inspired by my cool friend Jenny on the Spot).
- My blog is in desperate need of housekeeping. Plugins to be updated, sidebars to be cleaned up, wonky stuff to be de-bugged. But it’s most likely that I will spend my time creating an entirely new theme design before I clean any of the other stuff up. That’s just me.
- I am starting a new part time job (details forthcoming, like after I finish the web site design and can make a big announcement and good impression and all). And I’m kinda worried. Worried I don’t know enough. Worried I don’t have the time. Worried I’ll let down my employer. Who, by the way, happens to be my sister. {gulp}
- I laid down the law with my kids the other day. I won’t go into details but this is the “strictest” I’ve ever been with them. The most I’ve ever asked from them. And so far (well, it’s been two days), they are rising to the occasion. My new motto? “Expect more.” (I know that’s a corporate slogan for something…)
- I’m so happy my kids are brilliant. They pick stuff up like *snap* that. Makes my job as a homeschooling Mom way easier.
- I have the opportunity to exercise 3 days a week at my gym. And by “opportunity” I mean that I have to be at the gym for my kids’ stuff and there is no reason I shouldn’t be exercising. I will accept no excuses from myself.
- I’m also taking an adult tap dancing class. I love it more than I can tell you.
- We’ve been having fun letterboxing the past few weeks. It was even fun today when we walked around a park for an hour and a half before discovering that the trail we were looking for was completely overgrown.
- I’m going to Vegas with my husband in a couple weeks! Vacation and SITScation.
- What the hell is up with the half-constructed Starbucks in Flemington? PLEASE OPEN SOON. And please do not tell me it’s never opening because Starbucks is closing a bunch of stores. I will not listen. LA LA LA LA LA LA.
- Fractions are kinda hard to teach. When you’re reducing, you have to change the numerator AND denominator. But when you’re adding/subtracting, you only work with the numerator. Confusing to a kid. Need to seek out a better way to teach it.
- I want to read Atlas Shrugged. It’s 1,075 pages. If I start tomorrow I might just finish by next summer.
- I’m taking my kids to see Demi Lovato in November and I bought the VIP package so we can meet her. I’m a little more excited than a 40 year old should be about this.
- Did you know I write blogging and SEO tips over at SITS on Saturdays?
- I’m teaching a web design class to 11 students in our homeschool group.
- Did I mention we’re going to Vegas in a couple weeks?
- My oven door won’t open. The lever that locks the door closed is stuck. I’m having minor anxiety about this. I need to bake bread for a Tastefully Simple home party tomorrow.
- I have 167 email messages to deal with.
- And now I shall attempt to sleep.

Nice to see that in spite of such a busy schedule you still update your blog.
Yeah, it would be totally helpful if L had a cousin who’s been teaching kids about fractions for the past 11 years. Too bad he doesn’t–or does he?
I like your “Expect More” motto. Our family’s “Set the Bar High” mantra is similar. I didn’t intend it to be a motto. I just wrote it on the blackboard one day and it stuck. My kids got the concept after I showed them a high jumper on YouTube.
Good luck with everything on your plate. Expect More. Set the Bar High. Be All That You Can Be. Just Do It. (and my personal favorite, from Verizon) Make Progress Every Day.

I wish I could do the letterboxing. Wednesdays are busy for us now.

Wow you guys are busy! I love tap dance! That makes me want to find a class.
Lauren´s last blog ..Got ammo?
Tap Dancing? You are amazing! We used Miquon Math-it’s a 1-3 grade math (I did in all in one 3rd grade year). I don’t care what grade you’re in. It’s amazing on fractions. I got all the way through trig in high school, but didn’t really visualize what a fraction was. When I homeschooled my oldest son, we used it. It would be great supplement material even though it’s a curriculum.

Talk about living a full life! I went to Vegas for my honeymoon (about 3 years back), and have been having withdrawal symptoms ever since! *sob!* Enjooooooy!
Hope all turns out well with the new job!

I feel how busy you are, but it sounds as though you manage your full plate well.
You are so funny and I love your blog! I am also into fitness and have just started a fitness blog. I look forward to getting to know you better!
I found your blog through bloglog and am in love. The happy colors and so nice and a breath of fresh air, I think I will stay and soak in the atmosphere a bit! I am a homeschooling mom and love to find others with good blogs to read! So I think I’ll stick around a bit! Thanks for having me.
Tanyia´s last blog ..Sunday Morning is much better!
I am the same way, seems like I use my blog to procrastinate and avoid everything else I should be doing.
I don’t have kids or homeschool, but I’ve seen a ton of blogs that are written by Moms / Dads who do homeschool. It’s a network of support that I think is important for those who make the decision to homeschool.
I am not now nor ever will be the first comment, but I wanted to stop by anyway and tell you that I am enjoying your Saturday Sharefest tips over at SITS.
p.s. how in the heck do you do it all? magic potion or no sleep, which is it?
I just came over here after reading your sharefest tips. Those were very informative, good call. I do not have the personality characteristics to attempt homeschooling so more power to you. And have fun in Vegas………..awwww Vegas.

Have fun in Vegas – Atlas Shrugged is a great book — long, but worth it!
They say if you ever want to get anything done, give it to a busy person.
Also? It took me 3 months to read Atlas Shrugged!
I’m really looking forward to meeting you in Vegas next week!

blog want to daily update like fress content and so many thing for posting on blog. but its not possible for every one.
ooooh…. adult tap dancing. Sounds really fun. This is one thing I’ve always wanted to do. Well, not necessarily tap dancing but dancing. I live in a very small village and going to a class means a two-hour drive in total. I’m jealous…
