Organizational Skills?


        It’s always funny to think about. At school I’m organized and I got my life together there, but at home I can’t even find matching socks. I spent at least twenty minutes this morning plunging through baskets of clothing. I wonder if everyone, lives two lives?  I seem to be a completely different person at home then I am here at school.  Adulthood comes with many challenges that you never foresee as a teenager. We never saw the struggles that her parents and grandparents had or their sacrifices. I set up four different doctors appointments today only to cancel them all because I forgot I had to drive my mom to her‘s.
 
    Oh I have a personal planner and is very detailed, but I never seem to get it all in there and I always miss something. I even have a highlighting system that ranks events. It’s when you’re sitting in a doctors office and realize that you were supposed to be at a dental appointment instead that you realize you didn't label something correctly. But if you ask me about the curriculum I will have your answer, labeled, paced, and ready to teach.  The above video is my current desk situation. I will sit here for 30 minutes and organize my desk before I leave because it would bother me the whole way home. Why can I be this person at home? It’s a personal decision that I make that seem to really stand in my way of being an organized adult. I can lesson plan all day and I can teach my heart out.  I purposely made excuses to avoid a baby shower this weekend in order to sit and go over curriculum ideas and projects for this upcoming school year, which doesn’t even start until Thursday. Oh, I am the life of the party! I will avoid all social events if possible. Do all adults have these issues or is it just a me thing?

LGFCU to Civic Bank

      This transition or merger has driven me absolutely crazy. I hate it and cannot even fathom how everything will work out. As a customer, I'm so annoyed and the lack of answers by actual people is ridiculous. So, I guess it will be only online banking? With school, a toddler, and a small farm I have not had the chance to move everything over to a different bank. It wouldn't matter anyway, because I have a loan through them that will transfer to the Civic bank.      Ahhhh!  Today, our cards stopped working and I was so upset. I had forgot and didn't get money out of the ATM beforehand. They forget that some of us are over 30 minutes away from the nearest town! I guess cash is really KING! I just home all my automatic withdrawals don't mess up along with everything else. I have no idea how older people will get through this phase. Both my mom and grandmother don't even use computers and can barely operate their phones. Both of them have never even us...

The Teacher's Lie by Brid Cummings

     A book review at its finest. I think every book is worthy of a review, so here goes nothing. I think the overall story is worth your time, however, I feel like the person who read it aloud on audible did the book dirty. Her accent and weird pausing in the middle of sentences really threw me off as a reader. I actually went back and purchased a paper copy. The author kept me guessing throughout each chapter, but the book was slow moving. I would put it down often to just take a break.      I would give this book a 3 out of a 5 due to the pacing and sequencing of events in the plot. Do not listen to it on  Audible, because it's terrible and dry.

Counting

      Counting on something is just another way to set yourself up. Each year I do this and you would think that I learned from the previous year's mistake, but NO I didn't. So here we are again sitting down here at the pout house thinking about how we are going to rebound from my expectations. Money can be made again and future planning will be taking place.           I will have to count my losses fully take responsibility for the fact that our egg production just cannot keep up with the demand. I will have to pay back a few people because I cannot fill their orders. Egg production drops during the winter months.  I know the ladies I work with will just want to barter for something else. Maybe once we get ducks that can be a trade off. I do not know a lot about ducks and will have to do some extensive research. We do have a small pond on the premises and that will fill some of the needs.          Any pointers o...
