And I agree with your statement about wishing he was there...I tend to fall into a pity party at night when he's at work. So I try to suck it up haha...BUT I'm not too hard on myself because I can't help the fact that I love being around him!

He comes home, talks about his day (good or bad), and we spend time as a family.. sure he has those days where he needs to just be alone but I support everything he needs. but our life is as normal as anyone elses and I work hard for it to be that way!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05336843757483702780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1477827563310376749.post-7162478511553698822012-03-31T15:05:21.530-07:002012-03-31T15:05:21.530-07:00Great job on the paper!

Yeah, I know, the grrrrlz like to dismiss that "homemaker" stuff as unimportant, but the grrrls are wrong. You chose to get married and have children, right? THAT must be your primary "career" until the kids are grown. Don't forget to take credit if you're good at it.<br /><br />Being married to a cop, you're in a position to have an excellent perspective on what's important:<br /><br />1. Cop-spouse is a full-time job. You might have noticed it takes an extraordinary amount of patience, flexibility and emotional support to do it well. It ain't because cops are overgrown children (OK, some are.) It's because cops can't leave their jobs entirely at the office.<br />2. Ask T-Rex how important good mothers, good fathers, and stable families are.<br /><br />You are wise to further your education and prepare yourself to support your family if it becomes necessary, but don't let anybody (including yourself) tell you that you're not good at what's important.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06896718673192738974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1477827563310376749.post-82233732918045659972012-03-21T09:11:27.923-07:002012-03-21T09:11:27.923-07:00Congrats and good luck with the new challenge.

I jus...IF I had a teacher like you I would LOVE IT! I just hate all the facts and junk we have to learn just reading this book that would put anyone to sleep.<br /><br />The reason I went to History after Sociology is because I do want to be able to teach people the ties the past has on us now, and how much we are falling into the steeps of the past. IF my teacher would let me I would so go into compare American society now with that of Germany the years before the Nazi party took over. It is crazy. BUT I have to stay on european history, and sadly that is one history that has only intrested me at times (lol lame history joke).<br /><br />I think if the classes were a normal semester and not just 7 weeks that would help. All my classes are online which I love, and is why I picked this college.<br /><br />I first started to go to College for Elem ED. and then it hit me that 8 year olds are annoying! So Middle school or High School came up, but I finished my degree in soc. Still teaching was nagging at me. I hope I dont have to teach Middle School. . Middle School is hell for everyone.Yellowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01668354061174099488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1477827563310376749.post-79199443492737981692012-03-01T07:19:05.042-08:002012-03-01T07:19:05.042-08:00College or Adult. I'd totally dig on teaching ...College or Adult. I'd totally dig on teaching a series of online classes on how history is repeating itself.<br /><br />And I LOVE when people think outside the box. Case in point: Last term one of our questions was to write (less than 200 words) about how we'd feel living in Oregon just after the emancipation of slavery. To a person, everyone wrote that they would be happy for the slaves and that they thought everyone should be treated equally ...blah blah blah. I wrote about my problem with the "injuns" because of the recent attacks near eastern Oregon/Idaho... how the "chinee" were taking jobs of the "good white men" and we didn't really have any "niggras" as they were in Portland and them city folks had their own problems...I needed one of them new fangled thresing machines. <br /><br />Yes, I posted a disclaimer that I did use era-appropriate language, but my point was... studying history from TODAY'S point of view is nice, but useless. FIRST we have to understand THEIR point of view. WHY was it ok then? Do we really think it was that they were just "morally bad"? And I use the fact that we now bottle water - a resource that should be available to all and for free - and OUR ancestors will probably find that to be morally bankrupt. But because we're in the "here and now" it seems perfectly fine to us. People of those times - no matter what the movies portray - were overwhelmingly ok with slavery and racism. WHY? <br /><br />Sorry... thinking about history in context and THEN analyzing the connections to today, as well as challenging the status quo, is ALWAYS a passion. I find history textbooks that have these incredible biases and nobody is willing to question those biases.<br /><br />All the women wrote about how they LOVE Margaret Sanger (the leader of what would become the birth control movement) and I asked "you DO realize that she also was a proponent of eugenics and some of her writings thought one of the best reasons for birth control was that it would keep the "less desireables" (other races and the poor) from breeding"? <br /><br />OK... sorry. I LOVE history. And I love learning. Of course, I'm at a state University, all online. It sounds like your classes are hard and fast. We have no proctored tests but tons of weekly writing. I get caught up in some of those "write two paragraphs" and the next thing you know it's 3 hours later and I'm still researching citeable evidence to prove my point. ;)<br /><br />Whew. Done now. lolMeadowlarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17208672418814503032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1477827563310376749.post-43274779644570092012-03-01T05:17:29.474-08:002012-03-01T05:17:29.474-08:00LMAO.

I've been cheerily working away at a degree since the late 80s... always changing focus so that I have to continue (snicker... the husband still hasn't caught on!)... am thinking History.
