I have been reading my favorite blogs today and there seems to be an overall theme...Winter blues, Christmas blues, cold blues. Everyone is struggling with life right now. What has happened to Christmas and life where we dread every day...going into work, driving in the snow, and the list continues. What can we really do to overcome the stress of the holidays and the hum drum world of everyday life? I can honestly say I don't have the winter blues just yet, but I have also been spending a lot of time with my new man and he makes me laugh, so until he goes home to Texas I think that I will be pretty safe. However, I believe that I will fall into the pit that is Iowa and Nebraska SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) soon after he leaves. He keeps reminding me that it is warm and happy in Texas.
I met my student teachers last night - actually one of my good friends knows both of them and I have been reassured that my instincts were correct and all will go well! I am scared and excited to start. It is going to be a massive amount of work and I already feel tired all the time. I think I'm becoming lazier each year that I am alive. I feel less like changing the world and more like making my way through the isles of Wal-Mart is a major accomplishment.
Lastly, J and I had "the talk" about our plans after he leaves. He wants me to move to TX and I want him to come here. It's a tough thing that I am in no way making a decision about any time soon. I'm a pretty big sissy about these things, so I am not sure I could bring myself to walk away from everything for someone I've only known for a few months. I am taking this decision one day at a time as it seems to be my decision to make because he doesn't really have the option to transfer to Omaha. I figure I have at least 4+ months to figure this out (enter procastination of all things) because I have to complete my student teaching. Anyway I post this because I wonder if anyone has ever made a stupid decision like that and was happy that they did? GRRRR! The Universe is cruel!
P.S.
I have been getting a lot of slack lately about not writing in my blog. I have to say that I'm not the only one who has been a slacker...there are others...
