Poem

Like shadows drifting through the air
There are memories of you everywhere
Silence surrounds the loneliness I feel
Cold shivering can only mean you're real

I can feel your arms around me so strong
I cry for I have missed you for too long
Your scent lingers in the world I am in
Somehow I feel comforted in my despair

Just to feel that you are really there
Surrounding my senses nothing can compare
Warmth fills the crevices of my soul
I feel the strength breaking through my wall

Lifting me to carry on living
Forever I feel your heart giving
Sunlight kisses your lips and mine
I'll keep you in my heart for all of time

Unconditional Love

The only kind of unconditional love is that which comes from a mother to her child. Nobody can ever explain that kind of love unless you feel it yourself. You feel as if this person growing in front of your eyes is more than just a part of your genes; They are a walking piece of your heart.
I hope that everyone gets to experience this kind of love because it makes life worth living. Loving someone that much makes everything feel alright and worthwhile.
God bless our children and protect them from all evil. I hope one day they appreciate our sacrifices and feel the same way. =)

Amnesia or brain farts?

So recently as you can already tell, I have been going through a lot of stressful situations and decisions. I have been experiencing some really scary signs of either premature aging or brain farts!
It happened to me three times in 2 weeks where I would be writing something on the board for the students and would be bombarded by the students saying that I spelled something wrong. I would look back at the word and find the last 2 or 3 letters completely missing! For example, Instead of "study" I had written "stu" When I looked at my mistake I felt so baffled because it is so unlike me to do something like that; Let alone three times in a short period of time.
It scared me for a while, but now I'm beginning to accept the fact that it could just be as a result of my clouded mind and stressful situation.
I hope things go back to normal. I am hoping this won't happen again! I am being EXTRA careful while writing on the board these days. =)

WHY?!

What in the world do they think they are doing? They know half the teachers in school are on the verge of making the final decision of resigning (me being one of them), yet they still find ways to push us over the edge. The administration wants us to come in on our weekend and "sell" popcorn to the students for "open-day". Excuse me, but I thought my job was to be a teacher; Not a seller. If I wanted to sell popcorn then I wouldn't have went to college for 5 years and spent the next 5 in practice.
I am just utterly appalled by their actions and hope that one day they can taste a cup of their poison. They think they can hold us in but on the contrary they are making us JUMP to freedom.
I know this is a very random post but I just got caught up in the heat of the moment thinking about them and decided to come share it here.

Decisions, decisions!

Some choices in life are very difficult to make. Mine started out as something I couldn't give up. I am a teacher and a mother of a 3-year-old. It is too-often overwhelming for me to handle and I have constantly thought of resigning so that I could spend more time with my dd.

It seems that I am finally going to do it, I am just a little scared in regards to the financial aspect of things. However, if I don't do this for myself now, perhaps the years will just run past me and I won't get to experience all the magic there is in life.

Maybe some are right, and I will regret leaving my job especially in an economical time like this. However, I strongly believe that God won't leave me hanging there; That no harm will come to me or my family from my decision especially since it is not a selfish one.

I just want everyone to know that if you are facing a difficult situation, make sure you outweigh your pro's and con's before you do anything final. Don't regret anything you do and remember that there is nothing in life that is worth it if we don't just take the chance to do something sometimes.

Good-Luck =)
