Magnetic Force

 Magnetic force is the attraction or repulsion that arises between electronically charged particles because of their motion.  Todays STEAM class was all about magnetic force.  Don't worry I did a great job of making it much simpler for my little friends.  They had a great time playing with magnets and exploring objects that are magnetic and objects that are not.  We talked about the North pole and the South pole, of course Santa Clause came up, we digress easily.  I managed to circle them back and wrap up our morning together.  But not without a few wise jokes between my assistant and I about my dating life and the magnetic attraction and pole I feel and don't feel.

I recently had coffee and then dinner with an amazing man.  He said to me after our second meeting that He's all in if I am.  Wait What??? ALL IN?  Wait, I don't know you.  Did I mention he is an amazing man and has everything to offer. I have been told time and time again that I am slow to warm.  Yes, I know this about myself, but why is it that men (not just him... I've had this happen to me at least 15 times) feel so magnetically attracted to me.  They attach themselves and say they're willing to give me time and space to warm and see a future with me.  They don't even know me.  They don't know my story or secrets.  I'm starting to think that I'm missing something.  

Are woman attaching themselves this quickly to men?  Am I the problem.  I feel like men are always surprised when I warm slowly and want to take my time getting to know them.  It's not because I'm focused on another man or what to see what else is out there, I truly just want to take my time getting to know you.  I want to potentially know everything I can about you so that I can eventually love you exactly how you deserve.  I want you to do the same for me.  I don't want you to see this shinny package and say, YES I will take that!  I promise you fellas, if you give me time, my inside is so much more beautiful than my outside.  You will never question my love for you.  I will be there to take care of it all, even the worst parts.  When things get hard, we will face them together.  I know how you need to be loved in those hard moments because I fell slowly and took notes along the way. 

I find that when someone is so magnetically attracted to me I start to repel or pull away.  I worry that their intentions are not real and true.  I'm so afraid of someone "tricking" me, that I rather run than wait for the hurt.  So just like two North poles pushing away from one another, that will be your fate.

Putting in the HARD Work

 My son Josiah is an excellent soccer player.  He started playing at a very early age.  He practiced and practiced until he started to see the results he wanted.  This wasn't where his hard work would stop.  He knew as did I as his mother he would have to continue to put in the hard work day in and day out if he wanted to make the team of his choice as well as be competitive with the other boys.   When he first started he was shy and wasn't willing to take many risks.  The more time he spend on the field he realized that he had to put himself out there and try new things.  Just when he would think he's at the top there are always better players and better teams.  The hard work never really stops.  I'm so proud of the young man and soccer play he has become.  This leads me to a phrase many have heard me say.  Any relationship and especially a good one it takes a lot of HARD work. What does that mean? Shouldn't the right rel...

The Night Before the Last Day of PreK

 Tomorrow I will wrap up another year teaching PreK.  9 months ago I met my tiny new best friends.  At first I mourned the loss of my previous class but eventually they grew on me and I fell in love with each of them.   The end of the school year (for those who love what they do) is like a really terrible break up.  This week has been full of emotion, some personal but a lot of sadness about what's coming to an end.  I'm not going to say that this year has been smooth or easy.  There have been many challenges. If you think about the amount of time I spend with these children each day it's a lot.  I spend almost 5 hours each day 4 days a week with theses kiddos.   There have been tears (from them and myself). When they walked through my door 9 months ago many of them were quiet, scared and unfamiliar with me.  I was able to earn their trust, and show them that I was more than just their teacher.  I loved them and was comple...

Seriously...

This weekend I made reservations to celebrate a good friends birthday.  It's always hard in the month of December to do anything besides the "Holidays".  But, I wanted to make sure the day didn't pass without her feeling special.  To make the day extra special she invited a few other friends and their children.   We finally got settled in and I noticed this guy, he had noticed our table too.  I kept racking my brain trying to figure out how I knew him.  I playing over my students dads, my boys friends dads, other dads at school, my social circle but I kept coming up short.  I finally said something to my friend and she said, Oh he's on the dating apps.  (One of the first things I often do is check fingers for rings to eliminate that as a possibility...he had a ring).  I said but, he has a ring.  She said, exactly.  This is what were dealing with.  The man was clearly out with family and extended family but is spending his ...
