What is it about dieting that makes you so hungry? Or why when you begin a new exercise routine do you suddenly feel like you've been afflicted with a plague of unexplained aches and pains? I was watching King of Queens reruns last night, and it was the one where Doug feels out-done by his friend Deacon when he learns that Deacon is a "Big Brother". Doug decides he wants to be a "Big Brother" too. The only flaw is that in order for him to connect with his "Little Brother", Doug needs to run a marathon by the weekend.

Last November I created this blog with the full intention of capturing the attention of my Fifth Grade students and inspiring them to be more, do more, think more. I'm pretty sure I made three posts, and one of those posts was a "test" to see if I did in fact know how to post a blog. This is my "do over". Only this time my focus is me. Maybe if I work on "me" more I will accidentally inspire my students and others to do all those great things I started out trying to achieve. (fingers crossed)
