Putting Pen To Paper

Before anyone gets confused, yes this is the same Amy from Will Run For Ice Cream.

I've had two blogs for quite some time now. I tried to combine the two, but I had a hard time because one is more fitness related (Will Run For Ice Cream) and this blog Today's Words of Glass is often considered a 'mommy' blog... although I feel that it's more diverse and in the future plan to try to branch out even more from 'mommy blog' status.

At some point, the two blogs may intertwine into one, but for now I'm keeping them separate. I know that a lot of you don't care to read about fitness/running and so forth. Just like some people that enjoy the fitness side of what I have to say might not necessarily care to read what happens on this blog.

Sooooooooo after that long drawn out explanation, yes I'm the same person that you will see at both blogs. And if you follow me on one, you might enjoy following me on the other as they are different. (Sign up via email)

But I've been thinking a lot lately about goals and well my dreams (The Woman I Know I Can Be), and I know that if I ever want to see where those dreams can take me, that I need to put some action behind them.

So today, as I sat on my deck (mocha latte in hand) I started writing out some ideas, thoughts and goals. I'm not sure where those ideas will take me, but I do know for sure that if I don't try they will take me to the land of nowhere. And I know that I personally want to try.

I often get discouraged because it feels that no one else shares my goals. Well duh, I don't need anyone else to share my goals. They aren't their goals, they are MY goals. So here I go... succeed or fail... I'm going to try.....

2 Weeks Post Mohs Surgery

May 26, 2021 3:40pm Finally, the phone call that I'd been waiting on. It was the Medical Center. ( Finally, we can schedule my surgery. ) She tells me who she is, and then tells me that she has a cancellation for tomorrow. ( Me stammering... ) "Ok, but I was thinking the end of June." Then I hear "We just had a moment to look at your file. We really don't think that you should wait. We really think you should come in tomorrow at 8:15am" ( Me stammering again ) "Ok, I'll be there." Wait, what? My mind is all over the place. I'm supposed to work. How am I going to get our son to school? Will my husband be able to go with me on such short notice. I expected this to be the end of June, not tomorrow. I'm not prepared! I was overcome with emotion. May 26, 2021 Surgery Day I woke up at 1am with a horrible headache. By the time we arrived at the surgery center, I was definitely a bundle of nerves. I got checked in, went through the usual ...

Feel All the Feels Then Deal

Not what I expected when the phone rang. It was a routine dermatology appointment. "Do you have any concerns?" “Yes, a small spot on my face. It comes and goes. Two weeks ago it had disappeared (again). So I'm actually glad that it’s back.” It was the size of a pin head. It was teeny tiny. A nuisance, but not something that really seemed to bother me. “I suspect that it’s skin cancer.” “So, we just burn if off, right?” “No, it needs to be cut out and sent to the lab.” I was not prepared for this. It’s on my lip! She’s going to cut a hole in my lip! She warns me that the shot is going to hurt and possibly a lot. She tells me this several times. (I’m thinking surely it can’t be that bad.) I was wrong. It hurt. A lot. I’m creeped out at the thoughts of her taking a chunk off of my face at the top of my lip. I’m even more creeped out as she tells me she’s going to burn it to stop the bleeding. Time and time again I hear the sizzle and the smell is n...

It's Been a Hot Minute

It's been a hot minute since I've written anything.... over a year. Between being a mom, full time student, and a substitute teacher during a pandemic, writing hasn't been a priority. More than once, I've felt like I was in survival mode with classes. I didn't expect early block to be so intense. I admit that I broke down and cried several times this semester with feeling overwhelmed. But, I endured until the end, and I got straight A's for the semester. I'm proud of myself that I didn't give up. I am enrolled in 2 summer class, and 4 fall classes and studying for standardized tests that I must pass before I can begin my student internship. I will be close to 50 when I graduate. Am I too old to do this? Who starts a career at 50????? I guess I do. I don't know what's going to happen when I graduate. I do know that I am enjoying the course work, and I'm enjoying being able to put what I have learned into practice as a substitute. This sch...
