What a crappy break... New year frigging blows too. Covid stinks.

As for future plans (was reading back on older posts)... How about just taking things a day at a time? Never know what tomorrow will bring.... So take it easy.

Was doing my 30+ credit class and was watching a video for the final assignment.

Man, one part stood out to me so much. It was so powerful.

Success is NOT the dictionary describes it as "an accumulation of material possessions or the attainment ment of a position of power..."

"Success IS a peace of mind attained only through self-satisfaction in knowing you made the effort to the do the best you're capable. If you make the effort to do the best of which you're capable, trying to improve the situation that exists for you, that is success." - John Wooden

Husband Appreciation Post

The one and only who always went above and beyond for me... as the years went by, you still always tried to find ways to help me.

Most recently, I was upset because our child poured a cup of water on my keyboard on the laptop and it stopped working. You swapped your laptop’s keyboard for mine.

You also saw that my car was due for car inspection too so you brought it to get inspected for me.

It really is the little things that show you that your husband still cares and makes an effort to help you in any way he can.

Thank you always.

Trying to find closure by myself because I know he will never give me closure.

Here's to the chauvinistic pig who bothers me every few years for the last 19 years. Why do I even bother answering him? Maybe because I cared and wanted to know how you were. You got a little too personal this time though. It seems like you're finally looking to settle down and you were as always checking if I was available.

1. "Why are you still married to him? Do you still love him?"

Yes, I love him, our kids and the family we have created together in our home.

2. "Do you wish we had another go?"

I did wish this a long time ago. Haven't thought of this for years and quite frankly I won't give up what I have for you.

3. "Are you even happy? You have to find your own happiness."

Yes. No relationship is 100%. It takes time, commitment and a lot of effort to be where we are today. It is the very best we can do to make our relationship close to that 100%. You are not my happiness.

4. "I wish we could turn back the clock to when we were 16."

I did too. Once upon a long fucking time ago but not any more. I've found my happily ever after.

5. "If you were single again, I would date you."

Yea, who wouldn't? I would date myself too 😂.

I have way more important things to care for now. I honestly am glad you asked me these questions. Definitely did a lot of self-reflection this week. I have to focus on what is in front of me and I am happy with what I have. Twelve years is a long time to be in a relationship with the same person. I know we dont chat like we used to. We have gotten comfortable with each other and grew a life together so it is ok if what we talk about are the kids, home life, work, etc. I am glad we still can gossip, have meme conversations and tease each other.

I really hope I never hear from you again. Especially after you said that disgusting crap to me. You can take that and shove it up your ass. 🖕

Once upon a time ago, I put you up on a pedestal. Why did I put a fucking chauvinistic pig up on a pedestal? I seriously have no clue. Cant believe this shit is 19 year old 😂. Seriously cant believe you check in on me every few years to see if I'm single or taken. You lost your chance 2 decades ago. Thank God I have a husband who is the opposite of you, you piece of shit 😂. Good fucking bye.

For the last week I was thinking about my "10 Year Plan" that I made for myself when I graduated college in 2010. I was thinking about it because I finally reached my last goal on my list and just in time before 2020 ends (4 more months until the end)... but timing wise, "school year" timing was just because the "school year" ended/started.

Ten Year Plan included stuff like marriage, kids, buying a house, getting a job in my dream school district. I am glad I was able to get most of those.

Now it leaves me thinking... what are my next goals for the next few years? Besides saving for retirement, saving for kids' college, etc.

What do I want to achieve for my own personal goals?

So much has changed in the last year... Bought a house... Had Mikaela... Got a job in District 26 And this year has just been crazy with COVID...

Finally got the raise I've been waiting for 😂... but so tired. Not physically. More of an emotional exhausted. It is probably easier to not think so much or care so much but it is hard when you're a school teacher and you spend so many hours per day with your students. I've come to realize though that even as their teacher, sometimes I can only do so much. I cant control what happens outside of school. I can't control their family situations. I can only be there for them if they need someone to listen or someone to give advice to them. I can also hope that I will raise a good child... my greatest investment in this life is to make sure Max grows up to be a good, respectful person and that he realizes how much he is loved. Life is scary but it is also what you make of it.

On to bigger and better things... literally... we have listed our apt on sale and in process of house hunting.....

but of course, with change... comes stress... which explains why im on here instead of sleeping. hopefully everything will work out smoothly.

Guess who’s tenured????

Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! 😂 (just in time for thanksgiving. something to be thankful for lol)

And thinking of tutoring again… why not? Extra cash flow hahaha

Wow. Last post was from Feb 2018. It is now November of 2018. The year is almost over. Max is going to be 3 soon and hopefully this stubbornness and behavior goes away.

I'm still not tenured lmao... hopefully by the beginning of next year, as my tenure binder was passed. Keeping my fingers crossed! 🤞

Changed grades this year and found that I actually do like the older grade... but of course, it comes with its own challenges as well. I'll just take it as a learning experience.

Married life is good. We are thinking of maybe looking for a house soon... and maybe #2 😂 but a lot of maybes at the moment because new positions at jobs, saving up, toddler life... lots of excuses, basically.

Funny to read my last post back from 2016... it is now February 2018. A lot has changed since Max was 7 months old 😂. He's now 21 months... will be 2 before I know it. Can't believe how fast that all went by.

This past year and 4 months, there has been A LOT of changes. I switched grades, switched buildings, did not get tenured (got extension instead because of stupid shit) and have had one of the worst school years in my life. Things have definitely gotten better since the devil has left my class 😒... staff is nice but I don't enjoy working here... but whatever... that's life.

Oh, I also finally got off my fat ass and lost 10 pounds 😂... still more to lose but getting there slowly.

Been having a lot of bad lucky lately... Only good thing really is my family and baby boy. Can't believe you're seven months today. Where did all the time go? Before I know it, you will be one! I knew it would be tiring to raise you, but man, I'm beyond tired hahaha. It is really weird though. I feel like since I've had you, time has been passing so much faster than usual..... So strange.

The return of the Dumbleburn.

New Year 2016.... Older me 😢😢😢

I was looking at a picture of myself and noticed that I'm starting to get crow's feet wrinkles around my eyes 😢. Main cause of this type of wrinkle is aging and smiling... Ahhhh.... I guess that's the price you need to pay for being happy?? Feeling contradicted right now 😧.

This app is seriously so #asian 😂 hahaha #napacabbage #secondtrimester.... also just realized only 15 weeks left!!!!!!! 😲😲😲 #2016
