...people make my life more difficult than it should be

I dont understand people sometimes. I get frustrated with the kids when they do dumb stuff but what do you do when its the adults. I am trying very hard to not stress out but it gets very difficult when people don't meet your expectations. Maybe that is a tougher with me because I end up asking for so much. However, when you are trying to communicate something and its gets an "uh huh" or "ok" when that definitely is NOT what you are expecting, or when someone is asked to do their job and they drop the ball so it gets put on me, I can't do much. I am at the point of shutting myself off from people to save myself the stress and frustration. I have a key group around me that are amazing and are supporting Shane and I through this insane road we are on, and I guess life is great to be so blessed to have those people around me. As for the rest, eh, you can't break me, you have tried and failed. In spite of it all, maybe its stubborness or sheer ridiculousness on my part, but I still get things done.

In the meantime, I have a 12 day countdown, so keeping fingers crossed and stress levels low. Until tomorrow at the UH/Rice game!

Day 1 of a Blog

So, as many people that do this, I too have no idea why I am even doing this, other than looking for a good place to put some random thoughts down in a place where maybe I can come back and read them one day and wonder what was I thinking.

Day 1:
Shane and I are finding ourselves at an interesting juncture in our lives. We are trying to figure out exactly what are next move is. This past month we have taken a big step and are trying to get pregnant. Now, one of the key things is to reduce the stress levels. In teaching, there is almost no way to avoid stress. But, I am working on it as well as working on working on my time management. Shane today suggested making multiple meals at once to help ease up on time. So, today we made fish tacos for dinner, but also made chicken for taco salad and a huge lasagna. So, today, life is great, even if I spent the morning in the doctors office knowing I have to go back on Wednesday.
