Off to a great start

We can see that I have really kept up with the blog. 
This is the period of life when you need time to stand still.  When I get the chance to slow down, I find it hard to sit still.  Sooo, I have to clean, work on my computer, prepare school stuff.  You would think that my house would be spotless.  BUT, it's not. 
My daughter is at the phase of life where she thinks every place on earth is better than being home, and wants us to treat her like her 1 year old brother due to jealousy issues.  My son is at the stage of life where he thinks the only way he can get something is to become violent or whiney.  And I am at the stage of life where I pray ALOT that I will keep my cool and enjoy these young years, because I know they will gone in a blink. 
I am trying to wind down the items for my dad.  He passed this last year and there is way too much to take care after someone passes.  It really makes it difficult to move past death.  I really love the businesses that ask how "I" would like to pay the remaining balance on bills.  Thankfully, there was not debt except the house.  Still, there is nothing like informing someone that you have experienced a death and them asking you for money.
My big goal right now is to get set up to start sharing ideas and items from my classroom.  Still a work in progress, but I am very excited.  I spend alot of time making things and would love for others to be able to use it as well.  So pray that I can get in gear!!!
So to sum up this message, I need more time in the day, as does everyone else.

The Beginning

Well, here goes my first blog.  I have often wanted to share things (like teaching resources) but always think, who wants to hear from me.  I guess we will find out.  My life is incredibly busy right now with my children and my job.  My children are at the "We need Mommy" stage.  Although they do a wonderful job of entertaining each other, I know that if I do not spend time with them, they will be grown before I know it.  So we read, watch movies, and cook together.  We also enjoy going for walks and teaching my daughter (through the interesting techniques of my husband) how to ride a bike.
It would be fair to say that me and my husband have had colorful lives.  But now we are just ordinary people.  I have been teaching for eight years now.  I would not choose to do anything else.  I hope to be able to eventually start a blog for my classroom to share resources with other teachers.  I spend a lot of time making things for my classroom.  I have taught 5 different grades, but am currently teaching kindergarten.  Yes, I get them while they are little, still needy, and I get to repeat myself a hundred times a day.  However, I enjoy watching them grow throughout the year.  They change so much, so fast when they are little, don't they?
I have to remind myself to be a mom and wife too, not just a teacher.  I will end on a note I stated earlier.  Enjoy your little ones, they will be grown before you know it.
