Perpetual Drafts of the Perpetually Daft

This journey is not going as planned so I need to remember why we are doing this in the first place. I need to remember why this is worth it. I am in really bad place of denial or procrastination so, thanks again bloggy for being there for me, always 😂 - I want to be able to attend my kids school events without worry about getting a sub or wondering if I have enough days in my "bank" to take them. - I want to get away from all this traffic! - I want to go places and not worry about the parking - or traffic! - I want to be able to teach in a way that is closer to my personal approach to educating kids. - I want my own home. - I want my kids to be able to go out more - I want experience life in a small(er) town. - I want my kids to experience life in a small(er) town. - I want the majority of my daytime hours to be outdoors.

So June is usually a busy month for me school-wise - finishing assessment updates, graduation video, etc but this year's June will be a doozy. And if you know me and being busy, you know that will mean an incredible degree of creative procrastination. I'm no longer down on myself about this - it's my necessary process, yo! Hence, the third blog post in a day.  My updated list, for your perusal: 1.DONE! Thanks Christina! Eat at Ayada Thai  2. Eat at Purple Yam  3. Eat at Papaya King  4. Eat at Peter Lugers  5.

I also started something new today and I wish I could be more open about celebrating this. I've been raising the roof all by my lonesome all day with this exciting new thing and I can't wait to talk about it with my friends for the upcoming few weekends of friend catch-ups. We are making changes in our lives that many people might not understand. Thankfully, I have friends and family that actually do understand and have done much more drastic and courageous changes in their lives. Many people want to make changes in their lives but are either bound to something out of their control or just don't have the cajones to take an extremely scary plunge. I'm thankful, that at least for this moment, we are ready to take this leap of (very well researched and analyzed, bwahaha) faith.

I just did it. And I'm tearing up. No turning back now. Again. Well, I have 5 years apparently but it still feels so final.
