Blessings, affirmations, grace, and reflection

Today I felt like I was on the verge of a breakdown. Perhaps I am on the verge of a breakthrough. I literally felt broken this afternoon. I couldn't go back to sleep last night so I started looking into going back to school this year. I'm in the process of completing my application now. I have to go. I started crying because this community breaks my heart. I try my hardest, but I always wind up being pegged the "bad guy." I quit! When things get like this, I know that it is time for me to go. So I am going. I have to go now. There is a lead position open for applicants at my job for September. They want you to do the equivalent of another job for an extra $9K. Why not round it up to $10K? Better yet it should be $12K. No one wants the extra work. Who can blame them? You aren't appreciated for what you already do so why do more? *shrugs* An extra $9K won't bring me joy. I'm just ready to leave...now. Other people make decisions, yet I get blamed for them....

Making Jill Scott's " The Way " my theme song of the day. Woke up this morning with a smile on my face. Doing a little cleaning up before I head out to the Farmer's Market. I need to find some sweet, juicy fruit. I am so disappointed with the fruit they sell in the supermarkets. The only fruits that I can count on being decent from a supermarket are apples. I also want to buy some shrimp and salmon. I feel like Saturday might not be the best day to buy fresh seafood. I wonder what day is the best day. Hold up, about to google it. Okay, back. So google says Tuesday. I thought I remembered hearing that before. I hate to have to wait until Tuesday to buy fish though. Makes no never mind since we still have no gas to cook it with! So, last night I looked at AU's graduate certificate program that I have been researching. They have exactly what I need! To add icing to the cake they also prepare students for the National Board Certification. Sounds like a winner to me!...

This is a post I saw on a school site on Facebook: Anyone remember Mrs. XYZ? She was my 1st grade teacher. She taught me how to count, read, and wright. Apparently she didn't teach her how to spell! LOL!

I thought I was done with school. I mean, I did always have plans along the line, well, someday to finish my second master's degree, but that was just in the back of my head. Well, I've decided that the only way I can move forward is to go back to school. I figured since I need to finish up at Howard anyway I would look into schools in the DC area. As it turns out, Howard has what I need so I am going to see if I can kill two birds with one stone and finish my second master's while earning a certificate in administration in my current field. I feel stuck right now in the position that I am in and unless someone takes pity on me it looks like I have to bite the bullet and head back to school. I'm too old for this! It looks like the doctorate program has pretty much the same course requirements, with the exception of the dissertation. I'm not going there. Bad enough I have to write a thesis. So, it is now in my head that in 2012 I am making that move. I want to enroll...
