First Day Home

     When parents come home the first day after bringing a new born into life there is no instruction manual.  They have advice and books they may have read, along with family and friends to support the new life but really they have themselves with a new life ahead of them.
     Tonight you will write two paragraphs.  First, you will write a list of all the things that would have had to been done around the house before the baby got home.  If you are struggling here is a hint, ask your parents!!!  Second paragraph, write done how do you think you will feel when you enter the house after being in the hospital for a few days and you return with the new baby.  This is a   feeling I have never felt but heard many stories from friends and families.  Be honest and truthful and work hard.  The post is worth 5 dollars but only if I think it is 8th grade work!!!

Make up a situation

Ok everyone, here is what you have to do tonight!  Everyone must create a scenario.  The scenario must be a real life situation that someone has, or will encounter in their life.  The scenario must end with a decision to be made, almost like a cliff hanger movie.  Then you have to go to another person's story and finish there scenario by choosing one way the decision at hand goes.  Be sure to elaborate on the decision and talk about the consequences or rewards your decision left.  Have fun with the stories and be creative but serious!  I will also do a scenario and be part of the homework!

Habit wrap up

Whether you gave it your all, or did not take the project seriously. Whether you experienced success or seemed like breaking your routine was not happening. Whether it was easy or hard you all still lived two weeks of your life. In those two weeks you experienced things, felt emotions, and all of you did it in a different way. I had success with the texting and driving but did not ever once sit in my car and not think about the project. I also felt frustration and joy and exhaustion with working out. The point is whatever happened to you in these past two weeks happened and this assignment simply has you recap it. Do it in whatever style you want, make it funny, serious, happy or sad. I will continue to try and get better. Each day one baby step at a time. I will need help throughout my life and so will you. Off to workout! Day 51! By the way this is over 150 words.

I enjoyed reading your posts from day one but anyone can give something up for a day.  It takes real discipline to do it over and over to create a new habit.  Keep it up and support each other!
