March Is Coming to An End!

APRIL FIRST IS TUESDAY! I can't believe how fast this school year has flown by! I have 8 weeks of teaching left and then it's summer break. WOW!

April 17th marks my districts spring break and I am trying oh so hard to get back to the mitten. My spring break begins the weekend of Easter, so flight prices are silly high. I hope to spend a week with my family and friends and then fly back this summer to spend more than a week with everyone! Time will tell :)

May and June will bring pretty big changes in this girls life and I am excited for my upcoming adventures! One adventure is to travel to any state spontaneously one weekend (any suggestions?) Another adventure is Jake graduating/moving to North Carolina. Another adventure is deciding whether I would like to stay at J H Rose or apply to other schools. Another adventure is moving into an apartment/condo/townhouse. Another adventure is training for a race. I'm sure that isn't all of the adventures that will occur in May and June, but I think that's a good start :)

I joined my schools staff softball league. I've never been one to jump on the bandwagon with sports, but I feel this will be a great activity to do outside of school with some of my wonderful staff members! I will keep everyone updated on our undefeated season ;)

I haven't blogged about Mr. Button lately so I decided to post a few recent pictures of how big he is getting! He's a wild one, but very smart. We have learned a lot about composts, planets, and dinosaurs!

My family recently rescued a mutt from our local animal shelter and his new name is Cooper! He's my buddy and I'm anxious to start to run with him. He sure has a lot of energy for being '3'!

 Happy almost April!!

'How to Love a Girl Who Doesn't Know How to Be Loved'

Happy Wednesday!

Today, while browsing my Facebook newsfeed after tutoring, I found this article and the title caught my eye.

'How to Love a Girl Who Doesn't Know How to Be Loved'

While reading, I began to think of women and how they are often labeled 'difficult.' When I finished reading, I took a minute to think of why women are often called 'difficult.'

I'm not sure about all women, but I know many who long for a relationship filled with love, honesty, trust, confidence, and happiness. It's one thing to long for a relationship filled with those things and more, and it's a whole other element to know how to find and exist in a relationship filled with those things and more. Many of us try and the relationship fails. Many of us try, succeed temporarily, and then walk away. Many of us try, and then get our hearts broken. Many of us try, succeed, and live happily ever after. Many of us fear relationships and never try. Many of us give our all, but are never met halfway by our partner. 

Then there's the women who fit perfectly into the mold this article describes: the ones who do not know how to be loved.

It's an interesting read that I feel reveals this perspective in an accurate way. 

I'm not sure about you, but this is me.
