    Perfectionist

    I'm really hard on myself most of the time, so this one was a hard lesson to learn. But we can't be perfect 24/7, and sometimes the greatest insights come from mistakes. 26 May 2010, 16:58

    Take it easy

    I´m the kind of person who gets really stressed about making a mistake. My physics' teacher always told me: "Take it easy, relax". So this school year I decided, I would be more free. And i did it! I discovered that if we are more relaxed, we do things better. Right now I'm trying to socialize more. And I think I´m doing well. 04 January 2010, 04:43

    Spelling mistake

    I made a spelling mistake in my last post, but I think people still get the gist of my joke. I know I will be more careful next time. 11 November 2009, 18:59

    We try really really (really) hard not to have bugs up here but we just can't avoid them all. Here's a little picture that made me laugh (and probably will only make web geeks laugh too) 13 July 2009, 14:46

    Dont Worry if you make a mistake


    I stupidly fell pregnant with my 3rd child when my 2nd was barely out of nappies. This had to be the mistake of my life I would always look back on and regret, so I thought - I was WRONG! The little bundle of joy I gave birth to on the 21st of Feb 08 is now the best thing that could have ever happened to me - he keeps me motivated and striving for higher goals. The best part is that he is a cheerful happy healthy little man, not to mention energetic and keeps the whole family in tact. I thank the Good Lord for allowing me to have this precious baby and hope that my story will inspire other mothers to be with \'mistakes\' on the way, keep the faith. There is a good reason for everything that happens.
