I am passionate about...well, at the moment going back to school and getting good grades. I am passionate about my children and how I want them to grow up to be smart, educated, successful adults.
I should probably have more things in my life that I am passionate about like reading the Bible, going to church regularly, practicing for archery shoots, cooking. Actually, I am passionate about these things but the passion has not been centered on them lately.
Lately, my focus has been on the kids, Steve and school but not necessarily in that order. School is my passion. Every waking minute is spent in thought of school. Car shopping this weekend was spent analyzing the car salesman and my husbands interaction because of Psychology on Friday. Watching the kids shoot at practice on Saturday was spent trying to put together an algebraic equation on how to move the sight this way or that or to hit the bull. I find myself, studying anatomy on people constantly. A conversation with my grandmother this weekend was about colorblindness and what colors she can't perceive and who in her family had color blindness so that I could try to pinpoint why, she, a female, no less has it.
English, well, that's a constant. I'm working hard trying to teach my oldest child that the LOC's have to be learned before he enters college. That his spelling that one of his teacher's told him wasn't important and that's why the invented spell check is not true. That spelling is important and he needs to learn to spell. That he won't have spell check with him constantly. I try to teach him to look up words that he doesn't know and if I tell him to look it up because he asks, then he evidently don't know it and he does need to look it up and learn it.
I am passionate about being a good wife but that passion has slipped lately. Dinner doesn't always get on the table at a certain time, the house doesn't always stay clean, the laundry isn't always done but then are these necessarily signs of being a passionate wife.
