Poetry Friday: Taking Me Away


Time goes by too fast baby
When you’re in my arms
And I feel so slow lately
With you so far away
And there’s nothing left to do
And I’ve nothing left to say
Cause you’ve already got
Everything there is to take

You’ve got my heart, you’ve got my mind
I’ve given you everything I could find
You’ve got my dreams, you’ve got my cares
And there’s something about the way you wear
Your heart on your sleeve and I can’t compare
Anyone else with the way you are with me. 

In my dreams today I see
Something new to learn
The way you looked tonight to me
And the way I feel inside
And I can’t hold my breath
Cause you’ve taken it away
And I can’t think without you
And everything you say  

Racking my brain, I find it empty
Testing my heart, the water’s deep
Searching my thoughts, I find you and me
And inside my heart, there’s nothing but we.
Cause you’ve done what you came to do
Opened my heart brought me closer to you
You’ve done what I knew you would
And you’re taking me away.  

I can’t compare you
I’m so aware of you

And you are
Here with me.

Internet Addiction

The Internet can be a scary place nowadays. It's becoming both commonplace and embarrassing to admit when we have an Internet addiction. I've been working on my sugar addiction first, and I have an easily addictive personality. I also "have" to be on the computer for several of my jobs, often during times when I'm just sitting around waiting for a tutoring student. So, when those times happen, I can often get sucked into the maelstrom of Facebook feeds rather than working on my blog or continuing to write my story. So, what do I do about it? This one is a bit trickier, because, as mentioned, I often do "need" to be on the computer for my work, so I can't exactly go cold turkey. Also, the Internet has some amazing places to visit (Facebook groups that have tons of people using the same curriculum I am and sharing their awesome ideas, buy/sell/trade groups, because obviously I need to buy next year's curriculum today, and blogs!). My solution f

January Babies

As I come to the final few weeks of pregnancy with our third child (a third boy of course), I have been wondering about those people who hope to have the "first baby of the year". I was a bit disappointed not to have a December baby (obviously, I hope he bakes long enough to be healthy) when I ended up in the hospital shortly after Christmas and thought about all the benefits of having a baby in December rather than January. He was pretty close to being fully cooked, so he probably could have avoided a long stay in the hospital, so I thought about all the benefits and drawbacks of December versus January babies.

Imagination

I've been thinking lately about my oldest son's imagination. He will turn 5 in August this summer. He would technically start Kindergarten in the fall. He's been in a year and a half of preschool when we lived in Louisville, KY. He also has had a younger brother for 2 years. He is just now starting to verbalize his pretend play, and he hasn't been "in school" for over 4 months. I wonder sometimes if our "school" environments do the opposite of what we want them to do. Around here, there are a few people who take their preschool very seriously. You have to prepare these kids for Kindergarten. They have to write and test and read and do multiplication by age 6. But what about creativity and musicality and imagination? We have special STEM schools (science, technology, engineering and math). But what if all they really needed were Lego's and Minecraft? We have Early College programs, but what if what we really need is getting back to a true Ki
