This waiting to have a baby is weird. I know I'm still 3 weeks (2 weeks and 6 days) out, but technically it could be any time. I've never had a major medical anything, so the idea that labor will happen at any moment makes me feel a lot like a ticking time bomb.
It's funny how it changes the way I look at things. I feel more compelled to pick up around the house with the thought that it might be the last time I leave the house for a couple of days and other people might be there while I'm gone. It makes me want to get loose ends tied up and over-communicate about everything at work, in case it's the last day I'm there maybe for a few months or maybe forever.
It makes me think...isn't this the way we are supposed to live as followers of Christ? Not the obsessive house-cleaning part, but the part about living as though we aren't guaranteed tomorrow to finish things up? Keeping loose ends tied up in life and in relationships, not waiting to have conversations we know we need to have, etc.? Hmmmm...interesting.
About Me
- Charlene Armitage
- I am running for school board because I am absolutely passionate about education! I spent 29 years as a teacher, principal and Director of Human Resources in the schools, and I continue to look for opportunities to make a difference in children’s educational experiences.
“Kids First” is more than just a slogan to me. I believe wholeheartedly that we must consider the effect on kids when making decisions. This idea shapes my vision for the Liberty School District:
• The practice of “Kids First” drives every decision made.
• The district operates with integrity, transparency and full disclosure.
• The budget is streamlined without compromising student achievement.
I’m also excited about working to enhance communication among teachers, administrators, parents and the community at large. These aren’t easy tasks, but I truly love the opportunity to ask the right questions and be a catalyst for solving tough problems. It energizes me!
I would love to have your support on April 7th so we can make the Liberty School District the best it can be...for the kids!

As my time approached, I was obsessed with having freshly washed hair and shaved legs (and you know how challenging it is to shave at that point). I just wanted to be sure I felt clean and fresh in preparation for the glorious labor. I'm almost sure that's not what Jesus had in mind, but you never know. :)

Wow - being pregnant makes you think deep thoughts huh? too bad I can't remember any of my deep thoughts after I've had them.
That's why I had to write this one down :)
