So we're starting a new semester!
I have five kids attending three different schools now. One began 2nd semester, or Spring semester, this past Monday; and another begins Spring semester next Monday; and three are starting this semester right now!
Springtime is my favorite time of year! It represents NEW BEGINNINGS in nearly every direction you'd care to look! You can begin to see the end of the school year, and the beginning of summer; instead of feeling like it's just dragging on at a snail's pace! You begin to feel winter won't last much longer. You begin looking for signs of Spring in the flora and fauna around you.
When Spring is in full bloom life is full of colors, bright, bold, beautiful colors!!!
It's also a time when you start making plans for next fall!
As images of springtime beginnings come crashing down now you might be wanting to skip out on the rest of this blog today. LOL
Yes, I'll be working on the 2008/2009 school year plans very soon! And so will many of you! But for now, let's just marvel at what's to come sooner than that. :)
When winter's ending around here, when the last bit of snow has melted into the soft ground, the trees are budding out, flowers are poking their first leaves above the ground, and the grass is losing it's brown hues and greening up! The birds are coming back, filling the yard with song! The squirrels are staying out more and pairing off in twitterpatted goofiness, providing hours of entertainment for anyone with the time to watch!
Our neighborhood is near a creek that's teeming with activity! The fish are jumping and you see all sorts of people, young and old, coming to the banks or on the few footbridges to try their hand at catching a few! In the brambles at the edge of the forest you might even catch sight of a herd of deer, a family of racoons, or possums or rabbits. There are always lots of rabbits! I think they, the rabbits, are most likely to venture beyond the creek into the yards around our neighborhood.
Today, such springtime sights are just memories of past seasons. Winter hasn't loosened her grasp yet. While the sun shines full and glorious, the winds blow cold, the air temps hover near zero, and the windchills keep us in the deep freeze! Just few more weeks to go!
Until then...
May you have pleasant thoughts of what's to come --- very soon (we all hope)! I'm going to make some hot tea maybe find a good DVD to watch. :)
What are YOUR plans for Spring 2008?

Can You Believe it's 2008 Already?!
Well, I'm just amazed that another year is gone! It seems the last was barely begun and now it done! ;-) In truth, there were many times it dragged on. Yet for each of those times there were others that went by far too fast!!!
My "babies" are now old enough to drive; and have begun the process of learning in this state. Does your state have a graduated licensing program for teen drivers? Has it changed any of the statistics out there related to teen drivers? (accidents, deaths, tickets, etc)
Most of this year I've spent researching the many ways to earn an income online. It's been quite an education! Now, admittedly, there were far to many "opportunities" out there that seemed "too good to be true" and I knew going in that I would run into some of these. It was very discouraging to find so many!!! However, I do believe I have found at least one source of income to work on. Yes, I do mean WORK!!!
Really, if you think you're going to find something that will bring in some real cash to your household without work, then you're not really going to find it. What you are more likely to find is plenty of websites that will take your money, dish out promises of wealth, and give you very little else in return. There are some that will even lure you into an automatic payment program, almost without you realizing it, and it will take up lots of time to get out of it! Not to mention, cost you money you probably can't afford to lose!
For 2008 I'm going to be working on creating my own business by selling on eBay. I know there are people out in cyberspace saying eBay's been spent-out, that no one jumping in now and doing it on their own will make enough to cover the costs; but like so many other things on the internet the reader/viewer needs to beware. You need to educate yourself! Do the research yourself! Then decide for yourself!
Yes, I know it's time-consuming. What do you think I've been doing the last year? ;-)
For me, eBay won't be the only thing... more will come as the year progresses. As with any artful endeavor it takes some time to get to the point of really becoming an art!
