Let Me Do My Job


I’m taking a huge risk and it’s sad. I am taking a risk for saying how I really feel.

Today’s society is nothing like the one in which I grew up in. I had morals. I had respect. I lived by rules. Because of this, I am and became the person who I am today.

Things are different today. We, the older generation have to be afraid of what we say and do. The older generation is a lost and forgotten generation. I am talking about the ones who were born in the 60’s and 70’s and younger. Some of us are afraid, like me, who is in fear of losing my job. The job that’s keeping me afloat in this messed up world that we live in today. But should I really be living in fear? What am I at risk of losing? What am I going to gain if I say and do what I feel is in my heart?

The loss of my voice is debilitating. I cannot do the job that my heart yearns for me to do. My job is to make others better. To make others worthy and stronger and self-sufficient. All that is being stripped away from me.

I am a teacher. Let me teach. Let me do the best job I can and have faith in me that I will give others a chance to be successful in life. But how am I supposed to do that if you take away everything I believe in that I need to pass on to generations to come?

It’s a sad society that we live in today. It’s sad that we have to be afraid to discipline, give guidance, and instill morals to those who need it the most.

There’s No Need


There’s no need in trying to figure out someone else’s behavior. People are going to do what they do regardless. Some do strange and odd things for a reason. It could stem from trauma, a mental disorder, or a combination of things going on in their life that they can’t handle.

What part of that scenario is your responsibility? None. It’s not your job to try and figure them out or try and help someone change their behavior, because it’s just that, it’s their behavior, not yours.

Remember that your sanity is priority so set empathetic boundaries. Learn to disconnect and stop trying to fix someone who doesn’t want to fix themselves.

Chaffle What??


Okay so tonight I decided to break out the old chaffle maker that I bought about 2 years ago but never used. No clue why but better late then never right?

You can literally have these made in under 12 minutes flat. They’re ridiculously easy.

Chicken, bacon, ranch, and cheddar cheese chaffle

  • 1 cup of shredded chicken or 1 can
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder (makes it fluffy)
  • 1 cup of cheddar cheese
  • 2 pieces of crumbled bacon
  • 1/4 cup of onion sliced thin
  • powdered ranch seasoning 1 table spoon
  • salt, pepper, onion powder

Instructions

  1. Mix all your ingredients
  2. Spray your chaffle maker with oil, butter, etc. I use Can’t believe It’s Not Butter Spray
  3. Put 1 – 2 scoops of the mixture on the chaffle maker but don’t over load

Don’t be afraid to add additional seasonings! I always play around with my ingredients until I get it right. Start with small portions when experimenting.

All the recipes had to start from somewhere right? Be creative and do your own thing.
