Jean2 here. I have two examples to share about the title of this blog. The first example I am sure many can relate to. Anyone that has ever been to college or just taken one class. PAYING FOR TORTURE. Why do we do it to ourselves? I am happy being a teacher. Why do I go for more? I suppose I like the feeling of accomplishment when I am FINISHED with the class. However, right now I am in panic mode. I am currently taking a grad class about technology that is taking a lot of my time and hangs over me like a DARK CLOUD. The due dates are in my head like a throbbing pain. I keep putting off the inevitable. The dreaded assignment. The five page inquiry based lesson plan that needs to be written, implemented, and evaluated by next Sunday. I have a busy weekend next weekend. We have homecoming, friends coming over, the girls dance (hair appointments) and my assignment is due. Therefore, what should I spend the day doing? Working! What do I want to do? Lay around in my robe and read. I work better under pressure so maybe I should wait to do it Thursday night....hmmmm...there is a thought. I am constantly telling my husband I am going to drop this class. He who has so much faith in me and tells me how smart I am (HA!) and how I can handle it. He is so good at supporting me. And we all know that is nice. Stay tuned for the NEXT example I have for PAYING FOR TORTURE!

I have one, on PAYING FOR TORTURE... When you decided to do your childs birthday party at "The Rat Place" and you can't seem to get the party under control, kids to listen to you, come together to open the gifts, and to eat. You paied for these kids to do this for your child but, they don't. They have a mind of their own and its to play, play, play! So you pay for the "Torture" of trying to do this for child and you pay for the Stress that you now have recieved. YEAH!!! So that is mine!
Yes, it is so hard to be happy to spend when the spending comes with "snarling and knashing of teeth". I've so been there! I've left with a child finding nothing and feeling like we'd wasted the entire day.
And to pay for classes and such just to feel stressed and out of sorts. It's almost like saying "yep, I like to suffer!"
This is what you get for being so darn motivated. You can do it, smarty pants! Flip that hair!
