Thing #2

Deciding on my posting name and the name of my blog was easy; it represents who I want to become and when I striving to accomplish this goal. I want to be a Great Educator by the end of the year of 2012 and APSU 23 Things is the only the start of many more New Beginnings along my journey to accomplishing my goal.

It was hard, frustrating, and stressful creating my blog.  I couldn't get my computer to accept the right cookies, I didn't read far enough to know where to create my avatar, I couldn't exactly remember where to go back to start posting, and my two year old was tearing up the house while my six month old was crying because he couldn't help her!  Creating my blog was a crazy experience, but once I settled down and followed the step-by-step instructions in Livetext it became manageable and a positive experience that I will never forget.

My avatar was created to reflect my real personality and appearance.  She is smiling, confident, wearing braids (which I almost always have) and awesome glasses.  She is dressed somewhat current, but comfortable because she has two kids...just like myself!  We are awesome!

  3. Your post made me smile. I myself have 2 little ones, a one year old and a two year old that frequently try to help mommy while I do my homework. Or distract me, you can decide. I think kids have a six sense that says OoOOoO mommy is busy this is a great time to_________. As I have been browsing the blogs in 23 things the youngest was reminding me that it was her snack time and that she doesn’t have patience to wait while I type a comment. I hope that blogging has become a little easier for you and continues to be a positive experience.

  4. I admire you guys for being able to go through school while having kids at home! I don't think I'd be able to do it.

  5. Pugh stop complaining! :) Just kidding.

    I'm sorry you had a difficult time setting up your blog. I think its the website because I always run into "timed out" issues when I am trying to post things.

    By the way, I completely admire those of you who are going to school while having young kids at home. I don't have anyone to take care of but two dogs and I can barely keep up! Keep doing what you're doing and you'll get there!

  6. It appears we had the same problems with getting the blog setup. I was confused about where to setup the Avatar as well, but that is why I clicked on your Avatar and it lead me straight to the correct setup page. I knew your Avatar would not let me down! I think this 23 Things experience is great.

  7. Thanks everyone for your kind words and I couldn't have read them at a better time than today. The greatest motivation of all time is the support of your peers!

    Thanks!
