girl at 7 00 pm 1 comment monday july 23 2012 week 2 meet the parents er i mean meet me so week 2 is apparently about causing torture no longer can i lie to myself i am definitely like my parents however in my ripe old age of almost 30 i definitely realize that this is not really a bad thing let s back up a little i was born in 1982 into a 2 parent home with relatively young parents 24 and 25 my sister was already 8 years old thus by the time i was 10 i was almost an only child big age differences tend to do that i think my dad worked 2 3 jobs at a time and my mom also worked full time all so we could have what we needed and wanted a nice house and cars to take us wherever we needed to go early on it was always taught to us that work ethic is important my parents always took pride in our home making it aesthetically pleasing as well as functional school was always a major priority and i was always encouraged to do well so that i could well i think it was more i would go to college and do something i wanted and enjoyed doing not working your butt off in something you had to do for your family yet my parents rarely complained i mean it was extremely rare and it was never like we the kids were the burden when really they would never have to work as hard as they did if it wasn t for us work was what you had to do no questions asked it s just what they did they also always put family first and went the extra mile for everyone that was something that came from my pop dad s dad and so it was passed down i think i could write a whole book about my childhood and honest to god there wasn t anything even remotely bad about growing up in my family my teenage years sucked but that was because of lupus i never felt like i had a bad childhood but looking back i think i should ve felt more privileged you see when you teach kids in an urban area that are lucky to have 1 parent in their lives you realize how good you have it anyway this post is becoming rambling and i m having a hard time keeping it straight so i think a bulleted list will be a nice summary how i am like my parents i am a huge advocate of teaching work ethic i know school is a majorly important part of life and something we should all value i like to have nice things and new gadgets i don t do well with being fiscally responsible just being honest they ve gotten a lot better but it wasn t something i was taught a lot about i work hard in my jobs i am overly anxious about things and at time paranoid about the safety of my family i love animals when i am ready to do something everyone else around me better be ready too i like my personal space i don t do well staying with relatives i am picky about food and cleanliness most of the time i care too much about what other people think of me by just looking at me i love buying things for other people because i love the gift of giving how i am different from my parents everything in the house doesn t have to be perfect all the time the boys faces and hands don t have to be immaculate when we leave the house i don t use a new towel everyday i don t think i have gotten to the point of sacrificing everything for my kids and families they are some of the most unselfish people in the entire world and i still have a hard time letting go of the me me me s my cars don t have to be immaculate i hate getting up early i don t like to give up food i like just cause my kids want to eat it so in summary i am pretty much like my parents completely the differences are pretty minor and i struggled to find them however as i said i ve learned it s not a bad thing i am lucky to have 2 awesome parents and i don t know what i d do without them so here s week 2 and here s another blog i love to visit lydia fielder is a moderator for splitcoaststampers com an online stamping community her blog is hilarious as well as creative check it out here understand blue posted by sassy runner girl at 8 56 pm 1 comment tuesday july 17 2012 week 1 that s so like 10 years ago i m going to choose to look at me 10 years ago almost exactly because in just a few months i will be entering my thirties so i want to enjoy the last view months of being in my twenties so 10 years ago i was 19 and entering my junior year in college at george mason university sam and i had already been together almost 3 years at that point and had lived together for almost 2 years we both worked at a small independent theater in manassas and had this dream of making it an awesome movie cafe that didn t happen but hey we could dream i was already engaged and in debt we had little to no money and not the best of jobs we had 4 dogs at the time sabrina had not yet joined the pack and i was obsessed with paul frank i ran up quite the hefty bill from ebay purchases oh yeah and i think i just discovered for was just about to discover harry potter and owls i dreamed of being super crafty and sewing my own purses i designed a couple and my friend holly sewed them for me out of glitter vinyl i was still driving my red honda crv and sam had a blue kia suv thingy that i can t remember the name of i had no idea what i was going to do with my degree in history but i think i was starting to think about teaching college on the music front i was listening to coldplay the thrills and the strokes definitely the strokes so 10 years later some of my expectations were met i think i m pretty crafty and still love designing stuff i have 2 kids as planned i m living in lynchburg which was totally not expected and i m a special ed teacher i never would ve thought my m ed would be in this field and that i d love it so much also autism never even passed my mind 10 years ago where as now it s a way of life i wonder what i would ve thought or done differently if i d known autism would be such a significant part of our life it doesn t matter though i had my first son at 23 and love him regardless maybe i would ve been better prepared maybe not maybe my journey into special ed was god or the universe s way of getting me ready sam also now has a college degree in education which i don t think i would ve expected 10 years ago however the not having a job thing is also something i wouldn t have expected either all in all not too many surprises here i think i would ve liked things to be somewhat different in regards to jobs etc but i think most of my expectations were right on target as for a blog i read definitely check out my niece kyra s blog mrs quartermaster most of my other regular reading material is of the crafty nature not that you re not crafty kyra but ya know what i mean posted by sassy runner girl at 8 22 pm 3 comments blog challenge accepted so my niece by marriage is doing a blog challenge of sorts it s a great way to keep me at least posting weekly so read the rules below and i hope you ll join or at least let me entertain myself by completing it this seems incredibly cheesy so i am going to apologize in advance but what it all really boils down to is i need something to do while i procrastinate from working on my writing and writing is the only thing i can think of ironic yeah i thought so too so i was talking with a few of my lady friends and no not in the 70 year old man in a nursing home sense of lady friends and it has been decided that a blog challenge is in order i ve never actually done a blogging challenge before and the ones i have seen seem kind of lame so we re coming up with our own here are the rules the blog every single day thing seems to be a little scary for a lot of people so we re shooting for once a week blogging for 8 weeks blog challenges will be due rollover on sunday nights at midnight i know this sounds a lot like a class project but hey we re all gluttons for punishment anyway right post the challenge challenge rules before you write your first blog challenge blog and link back to it with each blog challenge post then say blog challenge ten times fast this way your readers can join in on the fun and just to shake things up at the bottom of each blog challenge blog post the link to another blog you read regularly think of it as a grab bag for your readers or just utter ridiculousness on my part try to comment on other blogs doing the challenge let the blogger know you re reading and doing the challenge too take the topics as seriously or as lightly as you would like write as much or as little as you would like use visuals if and how you see fit have fun and share now for the topics week 1 compare and contrast yourself now vs yourself ten years ago week 2 how are

posted by sassy runner girl at 8 10 pm no comments monday july 16 2012 catching up so i ve been contemplating this blog post for like 2 weeks june was an insanely busy month though i wrapped up the school year on june 7 we went straight to williamsburg that day we had a lot of fun at busch gardens and water country usa it was great despite the fact nate didn t sleep well there at all we ended up coming back a little earlier than planned but he had a great time at water country the resort we stayed at was literally next door so it was nice to be able to get up go over and come back after 4 5 hrs the week after we got back we had a week long science and math teaching institute at randolph college the following week i spent all week preparing for my comprehensive exams to officially graduate with my m ed i honestly feel like i finished 4 yrs ago since what was left was just tying up loose ends however it s very good to be officially done on june 29 the derecho read huge wind storm hit lynchburg hard it was rough we were part of a small area with power about 100 000 people near us were without power including my parents who were without power for a week anyway the morning after it hit was the day my comps were scheduled for i and the other 4 people taking it was determined to do it so we hand wrote it by window light and got it done then on july 7 i helped plan a 40th birthday for my bff i spent most of that week running errands and creating some decor it was good but hectic july 9 my parents went on vacation and we watched their dogs for a week nate also decided he didn t need to sleep more than 1 2 hrs at a time so we were drained finally july 16 we re getting back to some normalcy except that our backyard is a giant mud pit as we re putting in an in ground pool in an effort to help nate with his sensory needs so even with all this i have found time to do some crafting and some soul searching we re trying to figure out our future and where we re going this includes nate s educational needs his life skills x s needs and our needs we re back in a tough spot as sam does not have a job for this school year long story short he would ve been better remaining in the position he started last year at the economy is brutally tough and we re victims if worse comes to worse which it is looking like it will sam will have to work with my dad at the steel shop my dad has been welding and building for well over 30 yrs and i have tremendous respect for him however the point of sam getting his college degree was to open up his job opportunities and his ability to get a job so far the trend continues that no one really wants to hire a male teacher in elementary in this area i have a lot of anger about this that i m trying to let go but it is hard sam is extremely dedicated to teaching and its a shame that he can t find a school that will embrace him so the next few weeks before the school year starts will continue to be hectic i ll continue to work on getting myself emotionally in a better place and hopefully all will work out in the end i ll be posting some crafty stuff soon i ve made some cute cards and a wreath that i hope you ll all like posted by sassy runner girl at 9 45 pm no comments tuesday may 29 2012 quick update wow nothing good happened this weekend we were so looking forward to a 3 day weekend instead nate has a broken bone in his foot from an accident at school friday our septic tank backed up on the holiday and we had an er visit for nate as well hoping for a calmer week if we can just get through it posted by
