Not sweet. Not Sour.

Bitter. I'll admit . . . I have a job in which I get Spring Break and I'm bitter about going back (and I don't feel guilty about it, either). What I'm even MORE bitter about however, is all these people making comments like, "...at least you get a job that still HAS Spring Break." Right. Well, you try doing what we do without any breaks and see how long you last. If just ONE MORE PERSON makes some snide comment: "at least you have a job," "must be nice to be off by 3:00," or "what's it like to get three months off?" I'm going to go crazy. I don't take those things for granted, believe me...but you chose your job just like I chose mine and I did NOT choose to become a teacher so I only had to work 9 months out of the year (which, by the way, has NEVER happened).

Anyway...Spring Break has concluded and as far as breaks go, it was pretty decent. Saw some friends, saw some movies, did some shopping (bought shoes, of course), relaxed, and did absolutely NO work for work. Woo hoo! This week is a full week (and a busy one at that) and then two short weeks for Easter and then it's practically May! I'm currently reading the book Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man by Steve Harvey and it's surprisingly insightful. There area some things I really need to get off my ass and take care of this spring and summer and I think I am finding the motivation to do so.

Speaking of taking care of things....I am first on that list. I need to learn to walk away from things (habits, requests, and people) that are bad for me and need to start doing things that are good for me, even if it means leaving my little comfort zone. I won't be taken advantage of, in my professional or personal life, I will learn to walk away when I need to and I will take risks. So there!

Anyway...I hope spring finds you and yours doing well.....
