Learning to Teach

Today I'm teaching at Church.

I'm supposed to be profound about this talk.

Somehow I consistently overestimate my ability to deal. 

I should probably start preparing the same day that I teach.

Then I might get it done in time for the next motnh!

Anywho.

I'm praying I have something to say.

    You haven't overestimated -- everything you need to say is already prepared and ready to go. Pray only that you be given the strength and serenity to step out of your own way and let the words come out. You won't even have to think about it; it's all in your heart. Trust that when you open your mouth, you'll be guided. And breathe. ;)

    I used to love to teach R.S. I loved the preparing. I love the rush I get when it's all over. The same holds true for talks in Sacrament Meeting.

    You are going to do just great!

    I'm sure you rocked it! You are an awesome writer so a talk should be easy peasy. Plus, aren't talks really for us to learn and grow anyway and if someone else learns something that's just icing on the cake? I'm sure you did great!

    Your FAVORITE anonymous friend (how sad it is that I had to look down to make sure I could spell anonymous right? *hehe*)

    I tend to get up there and in between the carefully planned things I have to say, out pop random comments, which thankfully most people find funny, but I am always worried that one of these days something will come out that is over the border to inappropriate or too much information. Giving talks has never been my favorite thing ;) I am sure it went much better than you think!

It's Here

We got the moving truck rather unexpectedly. It's more expensive than Mr. Survival planned, so we're doing a lot of lifting, cardio, and squats. No. We're not doing the bootcamp in a trailer. We ARE moving things to the new garage, since we can't move in yet, but they're being kind enough to let us dump in a storage manner. Sorry. I'll have to beg your forgiveness and promise to update you. Eventually.

I Found True Happiness

It feels like I've become a detached voice, writing but not feeling on this blog.  I'm living a lot of things that don't fit neatly into my bloggable ownership file. Even now, I've spent an hour with this tab open to write a new post and I've done absolutely everything else possible.  For once I can't put a finger on what I'm feeling.  I don't fit into any definable box. On one hand, I'm spending an hour in therapy with Chickadee and another hour round trip three times a week. Mr. Survival is fighting off unemployment blues. We cannot shake things up and have me go to work. I'm not going to go to FitBloggin'11 . But, on the other hand, Chickadee is STANDING in the stander for minutes instead of seconds! Chickadee is grasping things momentarily for the first time in eighteen months. I'm so in love with Mr. Survival it's unbelievable. We are tighter as a family than we ever have been. I'm stressed and frustrated.  I...

Flying With Concrete

Today I wanted to write about my dreams. Full of hope and bliss and fulfillment. Yeah, I sound about as light as a bucket of cement. Ready to fly away. Hang on, while I toss out the top of the pile. Maybe that will help me find my lofty aspirations. Nope. Thing is, I'm remembering today that I'm afraid of heights. Really. Once Hubbend made me climb up three stories of scaffolding. Broke it all down for me and left me no other choice. Made me feel irreplaceable. Yes, we must remember that I am crazy friends. Leave it to me to feel important by being told to go up a towering structure of death. I did it though. And I even wired a speaker while I was up there. But I'm still afraid of heights. So. Do you wanna help me out today? For every comment that tells me something someone wants to be able to do that they can't do now I will do one minute of exercise. Really. Because of my child care situation, it will have to be tomorrow morning. So have at it. ...
