Composing my thoughts. Reorganizing ideas. Embracing change. Accepting I am me, being happy in my own skin. Apreciate that there are probably many sides to every story and that sometimes what appears to be, is not always as it is, and finally, toughening <strike>the frek</strike> up :)

</div><div style="text-align: center;">crazy time</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">i'm on bootcamp with<i> </i><a href="http://lovelife.typepad.com/my_weblog/"><i>kal</i></a><i> </i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">and very pumped</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">i'm in the middle of my work week</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">i woke up and forgot it was the 15th</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">my son walked out the front door with his baby sister in his arms</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">and a though that i seem to be having more and more lately</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">passed through my mind again</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Lord he looks like his father!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">our son was heading off to his second day of 'work'</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">he's got a job with his dad</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">what a lucky kid</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">a father AND a dad</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">i smiled :)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">others should be so lucky</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">i couldn't find my car keys</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">i found my work keys</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">i was late for work</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">i caught sight of the date on the calendar</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">still couldn't find the car keys</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">i cried :(..</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">my precious friend & school registrar left work to collect me</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">bonus, there was a dance incursion, i was NOT late for my first official class of today</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">i smiled :)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">my boss smiled and laughed when she heard i'd misplaced my keys again >.<</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">i smiled too :)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">i smiled because her laugh was a laugh of someone who knows me well</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">i laughed too :)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">because it's something i do</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">misplace my keys</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">ˑ all ˑ the ˑ time ˑ</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">my deputy laughed and asked if i'd checked the car door </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">because that's where i'd found them the last time i'd misplaced them</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">i laughed :)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"> and said no</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"> but thank you for remembering where i'd left them the last time i misplaced them :)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://lovelife.typepad.com/buy_lovelife/the-online-class.html">feeling bulletproof, i'm positive</a> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">i smiled :)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">i wrote the date on the board, like i always do</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">i swallowed a lump in my throat</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">and looked to a photo of our kids</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">one of many photos i keep in my classroom</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">and i wished they could wrap their arms around you</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"> i wished they could wish you a happy birthday today!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">no more birthday hugs :(</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">s'ok i gave each one of them a hug and a kisses today</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">and gave thanks that i get to see you everyday </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">in them</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">i smiled :)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">then i realized i too have a <a href="http://lovelife.typepad.com/buy_lovelife/the-online-class.html"><i>bullet proof positive attitude</i></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">i just need to stop sometimes</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">and take a big breath</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">and </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">believe</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">that</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">i have what i need</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">in any situation</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">:)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">and then i found my keys</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">wrapped up</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">in a little girls dress</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">with a $1.30 in change<br />
<br />
and a little gingerbread man </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">on the same little girls bedroom floor</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">o_O</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">and it dawned on me</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">it's not always me that misplaces the keys</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">sometimes someone else has them</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">or knows exactly where they are</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">and </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">POW</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">my life became an analogy</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">again</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">.</div><div style="text-align: center;">.</div><div style="text-align: center;">.</div><div style="text-align: center;">and things quietened down</div><div style="text-align: center;">.</div><div style="text-align: center;">and i had time to post just the right picture for my bootcamp homework o_O</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">now my card reader won't read</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
