Technology

Well, there are a lot of new programs online that allow you to be accessible to anyone who is looking to find you. I am not saying that I am technologically illiterate, but there are some programs that take me a little longer to get comfortable with, and others that take me a while to really learn. My main problem is that I really like to take my time figuring out a program before I join in. I like to be able to control the program, not vice-versa. Facebook is one of such websites that took me a year to really put up. Figuring out how to add the account was simple..learning all the features and such was more time consuming. It may very well be that I have less time on my hands..or that I’m getting old, but technology is moving terribly fast and I feel left out (HAHA). Twitter is another program that has me interested and yet I really don’t think I want it. I know it’s been out for several years, but suddenly it’s like the newest thing. It seems that the program is to let people know what you are doing whenever, and allows others to comment on it. It’s accessible by cellphone and everything else. If I am wrong then someone tell me, but I just don’t know. I haven’t even gone to the page to check it out. ANYWAYS…this all came about from not being able to access my grading page for my students beause of stupid technology. I figured out a loophole, but other people may not be so savvy. Whatever!

Time, Age, Life

Years have passed and I find myself interested in writing, but yet I don’t know about what.  I could rant about the never ending adventures of motherhood or the “joys” of pregnancy, but really is it going to be any different than the many other logs containing the same information?  I guess I could just write about how life seems to be passing me by faster and faster.  It seems as my daughter grows up I feel older.  I love that she is growing and becoming more beautiful, but it only makes me sad to ponder in the truths shared by many other parents whose children have grown into adulthood.  Time does fly by, and soon your baby isn’t your baby anymore.  I don’t know if it’s the pregnancy talking, but I tend to shed tears here and there whenever I think my children are going to grow up and all the mini memories that I capture about their certain personality or cute gestures will only become a memory.  I love the faces my little girlie makes, and the intelligent come backs from my four year old.  I remember when my oldest was only a baby and how much tape I wasted on the video camera watching her breathe.  I guess time creeps up on you and age does too..which I am fine with..it’s the way it’s supposed to be.  I think it’s just more  difficult to think that my children  will have to take on this life as I did and learn all the wonderful and awful things this life has to offer.  I know I made it so it gives me a sense of comfort, but I still revert to the motherly instinct inside that wants to hide my babies from everything.  LIFE..there are so many memories…but they all fly by.  It seems like all my major achievements were merely hurdles and have gone by so quickly except when they were  actually  happening.

Wow, I’m back-who’s going to read this?

It’s hard to believe, but I am back.  Perhaps it’s the itch that comes and goes like fads in America.  Sometimes I really want to write and sometimes I have a dryspell.  My life suddenly got busy a few years ago and with that came less time for myself.  As I have learned how to balance the everyday to allow time for me to feel like me, I have found I opened a window of time for such an opportunity (to write).  Life has changed tremendously so I don’t necessarily know where this blog is headed, but I do know that there is lots to write.  I have two daughters now and another on the way.  YES that’s right three girls.  I never considered myself as a Girls mom, but hey God knows everything.  I don’t think that I have put much thought into whether I was any type of mother; just a mother was enough.  I am teaching English part-time at a college, and I feel great about working.  I really cherish the importance of raising one’s children, but it can be overwhelming at times.  Please do no discredit my grammar as this blog is a form of release and I rarely care if I am correct in all things I indite.  I am coming to the end of the semester and I can’t wait.  The college I work at doesn’t have the traditional university schedule..so those knodding their heads in wonder..yeah I know.  We have a three a year semester broken down in 15 weeks.  To return to my topic…yes I am back and I hope to write more about my motherly years, and work experiences.  Three children will certainly be trying, but I hope the good Lord guides me and gives me the wisdom I need to be the best mom possible.  I end here..I’m currently on class time..assisting student’s with a final research paper.  I hope to catch up and read the many blogs of those my dearest online friends  have written and I have missed so.

Time

Hey you guys, time passes by and sometimes…memories that we cherish are forgotten.  Although this is a mere website..it still shows the value people place on the life they live, and the things that made them what they are.  It is always fun to be able to go back to see such wonderful things.  So go to this link and check this out…timecapsule.
