Motivation

I have to admit, I've lost a quite a bit of motivation to write in this blog.  I had it (motivation)--for a while--and I had all sorts of plans in my head for it.  But now, I have kind of lost the desire.  I've somewhat become disenchanted with blogs in general, to be honest.  The more blogs I read--that are popular--the more I'm convinced that people have no idea what they're talking about.  I read posts about getting your child to sit still in church, or what it is like to have multiple kids, or--what bugs me the most--posts about "essential hospital bag items" or "newborn must-haves".  These lists, obviously, are completely subjective!  And for some reason, when people try to pass them off as necessary I get annoyed.  I'm not saying I want these posts to go away, but man, they sure do annoy me sometimes.  

I don't know...and posts on Motherhood--well, I never read those.  I guess I'm not to that point; the point where I need encouragement in the Mom department.  I'm not saying I'm a great mom by any means, but I think my baby and I are happy.  I don't know.

Well, here's what's been going on with us: the hubs took a couple of summer classes and did very, very well.  In fact, in one of the classes he got the highest grade in the class!  That's a nice confidence booster for him.  Sometimes I forget that he's actually learning stuff when he's gone all day, but then he'll come home and talk about some situation and how the law applies and blah blah blah.  It's at that point I realize/remember that he is working hard and learning loads of stuff.  He's also working part-time at a law firm and gaining experience there.  He works hard and doesn't complain.  I sure am lucky to have him.

Then, after a conversation him and I had one day I got the urge to apply for grad school.  So I did.  And I got in.  I was accepted to the University of Nebraska-Omaha.  I think that's pretty exciting.  I won't start until the Spring 2014 semester, and the program I'm in is for Secondary Education with an English Concentration.  I'm hoping to take classes in Administration too.  I think once my kid(s) are in school themselves I'll go back to teaching and eventually get into administration.  

And of course, Liliana.  She is great.  Getting big and running around everywhere.
