W is for What?


Today is Alphabee-Thursday.

That means my blog is currently being brought to you by the letter W.
and... is for

That's right...W is for WHAT?
as in.....what to write about.

I bet you thought I was gonna make this a W is for Wedding entry, didn't you?
Well...I thought about it. But it's been 4 weeks since that event and everyone is tired of hearing about it I'm sure.

I thought about doing something philosophical like W is for Wisdom, or W is for Writing....but I've found myself in a funk and just can't think deeply today.

I almost wrote about W is for Words....as in, Actions speak louder than Words.
Which is what is bugging me right now.
Actions.
His actions.

But I won't come here and Whine about what my hubby did to hurt my feelings b/c it will portray him in a negative light and I don't want to do that. It's nothing majorly bad...just him not communicating as usual, and his actions hurt my feelings.

So...I'm at a lost for what to post about.

What?

exactly! WHAT??

Such a little word that has so many connotations.
So much meaning, depending on how it is phrased, and the intonation used in expressing it.

What to do?
What to eat?
What do you want?
What do you mean?
WHAT??? (you're driving me crazy now what do you want?)

yep.
and don't forget its brothers....why? where? when? and who?

Why is a twin I think...equally as frustrating. Where, when, and who are more easily answered.
But What, and Why...they remain more aloof.

So the big decision I face today is What am I gonna do?

I could stay home and work on some scrapbooking stuff.
I could run away to the city and see a movie and escape for awhile.
But I dunno if that would help or make it worse.

so...
I'm left wondering...and waiting.

I'll guess we'll see.

What is something I keep asking my two year old as in "What are you trying to say?" Without context I don't always comprehend his words.

I have the question of "What?" hanging over me constantly! I guess that's why I started blogging!

My youngest son used to follow me around all the time saying "What are you doing?" It was annoying and incredibly cute all at the same time..

Aw, sorry your having a down day. What to do? Something that will make your day turn around. Take a breath and think what that might be and then do it. Here's hoping tomorrow looks up, it's the weekend. That should help

I read this twice.

You didn't ask for advice.

But I have to do it anyway...since I'm ...ummm... your teacher and all...

TALK TO HIM!!!!! Don't keep this stuff inside! TALK TO HIM!!!! Tell him honestly how you feel. TALK TO HIM!!!! He can't read your mind and he can't not hurt you if he doesn't know how he's acting and even if you think he should know because maybe you've told him this before guys take a little bit more effort than just telling something to twenty times. Sometimes it takes 21 times...or even 29 times.

But he will get it.

Because he loves you.

So...

TALK TO HIM!!!!!!

And see, how I can say...

Thank you for our little stop here through Alphabe-Thursday's letter "W".

I always enjoy my stops here.

If you want to write more about this e-mail, K? Second marriages can be tough animals... leave that prior baggage and emotion at the door.

A+

So..it's a new year. And I haven't posted here since..umm..May. I have been thinking of deleting this blog..or at least all the entries in it, and starting over. Maybe a school blog. I see tons of cute ones everyday when I'm perusing pinterest. I could do that. maybe. no...probably not. But I might try. This place did not turn out the way I wanted it to. I have my personal "diary" blogs/journals elsewhere. This one is too public for that anymore. I should make it something fun. I don't want to lose it. Erica made it so cute for me. I don't even know how to do that... or, for that matter, delete the entries I have here. I can't find the "dashboard" button that use to be there. hmmmm.. This may take more time than I thought.

Alphabee Thursday: E is for Expectations

Image
Today is Alphabee-Thursday. That means my blog is brought to you by the letter E. is for yep...that's right. Expectations Such a big word. Dictionary.com defines it as Something expected. hmmm....kinda vague, so I looked up "EXPECT": 1.to look forward to; regard as likely to happen; anticipate the occurrence or the coming of 2. to look for with reason or justification: There are certain things I just expect in life: * I expect the light to come on when I flip the switch. * I expect the microwave to pop my popcorn perfectly in about 3 minutes. * I expect whatever I'm plugging into the electrical socket to work when I turn it on. * I expect to be given correct change when paying for a purchase. I also have expectations of people in my life. *I expect people to do what they say they will do *I expect my children to do what I ask of them, when I ask it *I expect kindness instead of rudeness in public *I expect honesty from others. *I expect my dog to jump all over me as...

C is for Crayon

Image
Today is Alphabe-Thursday. That means my blog is brought to you by the letter C...so let's get right down to it. is for ahhh...the simplicity of crayons! An essential tool in my profession, and yet such a vital part of our lives. Crayons have the ability to color our world. They add life to simple drawings, brighten up the darkest of pictures, and create rainbows on rainy days. After completing a writing assignment my students will often ask...."Do we have to draw a picture?" "Of course you do!! And use your crayons!" I will reply. And then the real feelings of their topic show through. Without color, how dull our lives would be. No yellow sunshiny days. No pink cotton candy. No blue skies and green grass. Lollipops would be tasteless and lemonade would be just water. The fashion industry would go bust and movies would not be worth seeing. Crayons add life. They add spirit. And they make me smile. Even tho a wee little piece of one was the bane of my world on M...
