Wednesday Hodgepodge

From this Side of the Pond

1. Let's compare this May to last May. What's changed? What remains very much the same? 

Nothing much has changed.  I am still involved in Bible Group Study.  The biggest change is my time in the evenings is now spent at the ballpark.  Oldest grandson plays on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday.  The twins play on Saturdays.  I have been living off of popcorn. 


So far, it has rained a lot and last May it rained a lot!!  I like to have never got my plants in the ground.  But then our summer was rainless!!  Still in the midst of giving all these Standards of Learning Test and still stressed as ever.  A test should not determine what a student knows.  AND if I were to assign a test, it would be something a student is interested in reading and not Marco Polo!!

2. What's something you may do this month? 

I may start walking more.  Because of ballgames, I have really slacked off of walking.   When I walk, I can solve my problems and feel so much better.  But rushing home from school to feed my dog, jumping in my car to head to the ballpark, and getting home around 9 or later, I don't have it in me to walk.


3. Mother's Day is approaching (in the US of A)...in what way(s) are you like your mother? 

I am not like my mom very much.  I guess when it comes to cleaning house, I am like my mom.  Even though it is only me and my dog, I can't stand it if I don't tidy up daily.  

4. Did you have a favorite book as a child? What was it and why was it a favorite. 

Rascal.  This book is about a boy who has a pet raccoon named Rascal.  It is a true story.  The boy and Rascal do a lot of fun adventures together, but he releases Rascal back to the woods.

5. Are you more of a tortoise or a hare? Explain. 

Hare---My mind is an energized bunny.  Sometimes, I don't really listen to an entire conversation because my mind is thinking of an answer.  At night, my mind has a hard time shutting off. I give a quick idea before really thinking it through.  I am restless if a meeting lasts too long.  I like to check off lists and I like to finish projects way before the deadline.


6. Insert your own random thought here. 

Shew!!!  I am tired.  I know today is only Wednesday,but I have something every night this week!!  From baseball games, to meetings, to college graduation.

Have a great week and Enjoy Life!

  2. I enjoyed your answers. I agree with Kim -- living off popcorn does sounds like fun (for a short time).

  3. We don't go to every game-there are so many! The boys love it though, and they're having fun which I'm glad about. Hope you're able to get back to walking soon. My achilles is acting up and I'm staying off it in hopes of healing so not doing a lot of walking right now. Happy Mother's Day to you Tammy!

1. What does adventure mean to you?  Adventure is something that is exciting!  I have always wanted to go skydiving, not happened yet.  But ...
