I'm so excited! New computer is purchased, here and set up!!!!!!! Deep sigh of relief...
Now I can officially sign up for my new venture with B!!!!!!! I'm very much looking forward to it. It's a much needed distraction from school. My dad asked why I wouldn't tutor to earn extra money. Truthfully, I don't want to. I need a break. I need another focus, and I think B and I will have a blast doing it together! :o)
In many ways it bothers me that I don't want to tutor. I think of myself as a teacher at heart so not wanting to teach makes me sad. But the other part of me (the new me :o) is working hard to accept that it doesn't have to be all of nothing. I can be a teacher, and a good one, but not have it be all consuming.
IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
On another note, I'm very proud of myself tonight. Flylady's baby steps really work for me. I have an inbox with more than 100 e-mails. Normally that would freak me out completely. Not now. Tonight I finished all e-mails dated February 22. Then I stopped. If I feel like going back on later, I'll read more. If not, there's always tomorrow! IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!
(I know this realization is not rocket science for everyone, but for me - a big deal. :o)
Thanks for listening. Mel

Thank God you're back on! I was having withdrawal. (not that we see each other every day or anything)
I am so glad we're starting this new venture together. I think it will be really good for both of us.
Now order your stuff!
:O)
And as for the tutoring, we do that all day, every day. We need something different.
Thanks W. No clue about the computer. Hubby does all that. But the thing in front of me says HP mx705. :o)
Yeah! You can do it! I love your enthusiasm. :)
Congrats on the venture... I'm sure you guys will enjoy it. I'm glad you said no to the tutoring. I think something new is just what you need. You're a terrific teacher. I think you'll have more to give and enjoy your job more when it isn't all consuming. It's a healthy choice. Good for you Mel!
Mel- I am SO with you on the perfectionism thing. (I do flylady too). I understand where you are coming from with that.
Also, I don't think you should be dissappointed with your self about not wanting tutor! You teach FULL-TIME. Everybody needs a different outlet, a way to do express a different part of themselves.
I don't think I will make your kick off party, but if you want to travel you could do a party up here, I can get a good group of girls together. ;)
SM, Would LOVE to host a party up your way! Let's set a date. :o)
P.S. How long have you been flying?
well, I heard about flylady about 3 years ago..
I don't quite say I am flying yet though. :D
