MIA

I've been bad about this blog lately. I've actually been bad about a lot of things but what's new, right?

Had a busy, busy week - both at work and at home. I'm trying to gear up to implement some things at work that I feel should already be in place. Not that we're not doing what we should be doing but there's a big difference between good and great. We're trying to move to the great side. 

Best in the state - that's my goal!  Best in the state...without an administrative secretary. And only two full-time people.  This should be interesting. But it's good to have high goals, right?  I mean, because it's not really a goal if it's something that's easily attainable; you're suppose to have to really work to reach them.

I've started outlining what I envision and figuring out what we need to be there. Realistically, I know it won't happen the way I want it to - which is basically overnight. I want things waaaaay too fast. I always have all these ideas and sometimes I forget that I don't always have the time to make them happen. It doesn't really matter though - if I can set it in motion, I'll be happy.

I had something really cool happen on Friday. One of those things that confirmed the importance of these programs. I wish everyone could see what a difference these programs make. For these students to have just one person believe in them, support them - sometimes we're all they have. And it makes all the difference.

I know I don't say it enough or advocate the way I should...I've got to get better about that (another for my growing list).  I've got to put into action what I feel in my heart.  I've decided that I'm going to attempt to write my first ever op-ed. I actually decided that several weeks ago but I'm kinda at a loss on how to get started so I've been avoiding it. But I'm going to write it and send it in before the end of April. It will probably never go anywhere but I would feel better knowing I did a little towards my part.

I could probably get started on it tonight but it's dangerously close to 1:00 in the morning and I'm not sure my tired, drained brain would do it justice. Instead, I'm going to put on my bunny ears and spend the remainder of my energy channeling the Easter Bunny.
