The First Post!!!I feel that maybe I should just start out this post "Dear Whitney," cause I have no idea who else would read this. She's the one who set this up and talked me into doing it. Who knows....maybe I'll have fans someday. Anyways, the theme of this blog seems to be mediocrity. That is because I am satisfied with mediocrity. I know, I know....that's not a winner's attitude. But I don't claim to be a winner. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a loser either. I graduated college, got a teaching job, bought a house, getting married, blah, blah, blah. But, when it comes down to wanting to be the best at things, I just could care less. Why put in so much effort to be the best, when you can save your energy and just get by?? I do enough to get by, and use the rest of my time for more leisurely activities. For instance, is my house always clean? Certainly not. Am I the best, most organized teacher in the school? Sorry to say...no. Do I always pay my bills on time, get plenty of exercise, work in the yard rather than watch reality television, or stay on top of the laundry? No way. Who has time for all these things? Some people really seem like they do. Are they on speed? Are they lying through their teeth? Certainly. There definitely are perfectionists out there, but not everyone who seems to have it all together does. I am one of the few who admits it....I am unorganized, I forget things often, and I haven't even filed my taxes yet. My dad said I will go to jail. I don't believe him. If for some crazy reason he is right, it will probably be a white collar jail where I can work on this blog, so it's a good thing I got it started now. Oh, and a side note...I would like to have it all together (like Bree from Desperate Housewives) but I just can't do it! I'm a little lazy, but I could be much worse. I just don't have it in me to be an overacheiver, so just accept it, ok? I have. Anyways, I'm looking for a new teaching job because the children at my school have little devils in their heads that tell them to do bad things (I'm not joking...a student told me this.) So, I took the day off today to turn in resumes, and apparently there were no substitutes available, even though I did call for one. So, a couple of assistants at school had to run the classroom. Apparently one of them said they were never talking to me again. I'm guessing they had a bad day. Well, I feel a little bit bad, but not really. I deal with the little helions every day. Someone else can walk in my shoes for a day and see how hard it is. Well, enough blogging for now. I must pick up my house (yes, it's messy) and go to the grocery (no, we don't have any food) to prepare for a cookout (yes, I will be drinking). Well, I told you I wasn't perfect, didn't I?

If I could post an image, it would be of me standing up and starting a slow clap. You know what kind of clap I'm talking about. A clap that's only reserved for greatness.
