173 more to go!

Well, I made it through the first and second days of school for this year so far. The first day was pretty good. It didn't go quite as I planned. As always, you can plan, plan and over plan and things still won't go the way you planned! Everyone ate and got home the right way so based on that it was a success!!! Hahaha. I think I've fogotten how to teach! I'm having to learn to get back into the routine myself. The only part of Kindergarten I don't like is the first few weeks when you have to re"train" your kids all over. They are so little and some of them have never been anywhere before or came from somewhere else. I think once we're settled into a real routine and following our schedule completely things will settle down. I think Ms. Griffin and I have another sweet class. I've already had some laughs but forgot to write them down! I've gotta get back on that. If you can't laugh you won't make it.

I've forgotten how TIRING teaching is! My feet are KILLING me and I've been going to bed at 8:00pm! LOL! But that is to be expected especially since we had so much time off. Now I'm defintely not complaining about the 3 + months we had off, but for me that was probably too much (and I think for some of the kids too)! But I enjoyed it while it lasted and I will probably be saying the opposite come next summer we will have just a few weeks.

This year seems like it may be challenging but it always is every year in different ways. Hopefully I can stay on top of everything even better this year. I want this year to be the best yet and me to be the best teacher I can be this year. One thing about being a teacher is you definitely NEVER STOP LEARNING!!! Which is good because I LOVE learning cuz I am a nerd as most of you know! :)

Okay most of that probably doesn't make sense because I have 1/2 asleep as I am writing this. I'm hoping to try and stay awake for at least 30 more minutes and make 8:00! I mean I can't fall asleep before Jeopardy after all. ;)

Meet the Teacher

Well, the kids and parents came and "Met the Teacher" last night. It went GREAT!!! I had 16/20 parents/kids show up and that was great! I think the Lord has blessed me again this year with another group of great children and parents. I am just soooooo excited about this school year. I'm not sure if it's because our summer was so long and I was getting tired of not being in a routine or what. I think it was just not getting to do what I have been called to do and LOVE LOVE LOVE doing. Yes, it is overwhelming at times and can get stressful, but bottom line I just can't see myself doing anything else. I love teaching and I LOVE teaching Kindergarten.

We have the CUTEST kids! I was like oh no I am in trouble! You know those children that are so charming and can just flash a smile at you and it makes your heart melt and you forget that they just bit the kid next to them? Yeah, we have a CLASSROOM FULL this year! How I am ever going to stick with "pulling their symbol" when they break a rule will be a bit more of a challenge this year. Maybe I will just close my eyes. Or maybe I will have them pull their own symbol so I don't have to! hahaha. No, I will do like I normally do. They have to learn that something things are acceptable and some things are not. Hopefully we won't need to pull a lot of symbols this year. Behavior has a direct affect on their learning and I want ALL of them to be able to do their best without having anything to hinder them. In return, I will give them my best everyday.

I know this is all I keep talking about lately but I am just so excited for this school year. It might be a little more challenging with less breaks during the year, but it will still be okay! And Fall is coming which I LOVE LOVE LOVE too so that makes me more excited!!!! YAY!

YAY for the best school year yet! :)

Almost Ready

Today was my third day of pre-planning and we finally got the last box unpacked today! YAY!!! I'm SOOOOOO TIRED of unpacking boxes. I hope to never have to do it ever again...okay realistically I will probably have to but hopefully not for a LONG time!

Things are coming together and looking like our classroom again...yay!!! There's still things to do, but hopefully between tomorrow and Friday we can get it all done so I won't have to go up there over the long weekend!

I SWEAR my classroom is bigger than the one I was in before. I would be willing to put money on it! But I will take it because everything fits! I will finally be able to use my awesome pocket charts that I have for a center this year because there actually is a place to put the big "chart holder" and I am VERY excited about that!

I have a big change in my schedule this year and at first I wasn't sure how it was going to work, but I am very excited to try it out. We have to have 75 minutes of Math, and usually I would do 30 minutes of Calendar and the rest of the time would be broken up into Math small groups. Well, this year in order to do most of my Math in the morning I had to change things around. The new plan is 55 minutes of calendar. I know that sounds like A LOT and it is, but this way I can also get in songs, whole group games, Math read alouds, etc. and I am really excited about it. Plus, I usually go over 30 minutes in my calendar anyways because we just have so much to do and the kids really get into it. Then after that in the afternoon we will do 20 minutes of small group, but instead of changing groups, I will only see one group a day, my para will see one group a day and the other 2 will go to centers. This way each group is getting 20 solid minutes of small group instruction and the ones at center can actually have partners to play games with! I'm really excited to try this change. I think it will work great and I bet my student's math scores will increase! We will see how it goes!

I think this year is going to be great! Whether it really is or not, I will hopefully stay as positive as I am now and make it great no matter what! :)

Back to School...Oh, Back to School!

Tomorrow is my first day of pre-planning for the 2009-2010 school year! Although it has been a long and crazy and mostly good summer, I am READY to get back to work. Check back with me in a few months and I may feel differently! haha. No, I love my job and am thankful to have the job I do. I love Kindergarten and it is going to be a GREAT year no matter what. I will make it great with whatever happens! There are going to be a lot of changes and things will be very different. I don't usually like change and usually my initial reaction is not a positive one, but after I take a few minutes to think about it and see what I can do with the change, I usually come around and realize that it's a good one. Or realize I can't do anything about it so I will have to work with it!


I have more children this year than I have ever had. That makes me a little nervous but I know that the Lord has given me each child that I am supposed to have for a specific reason and I am going to try my best to just trust Him with it. He knows better than I do anyways as to why He gave me the ones He did. It's easy to get so wrapped up in the "work stuff" and forget that my number one reason for being there is for the children. My first job is to love them and show them and their families the love of Christ everyday. Now, I wish I could say I do this all the time successfully, but then I'd be lying. I do get caught-up in the "work" stuff sometimes, but as I say every year, I'm going to do my best this year to remember the reason I am there.


I think a lot of the time I try to make things "perfect" because I want to give my students my best everyday and I want them to have the best they can get but I sometimes over do it with stressing about getting stuff done. Stress, who me?? HAHA! Maybe I will learn to chill out some this year. I'm like that in all areas of my life though. Maybe one day I will learn that I can't do everything perfect but just focus on giving my best which will never be perfect! All I can do is lean on the Lord to give me what I need to do the best and be the best teacher I can be to my students and their families. After all, He has called me and if He has called me, then He has equipped me with everything I need to fulfill His plans/purpose for me.

Here's to a great school year!!!!! :)

Beauty is on the inside...haha yeah right!

Why does it seem (maybe just to me) that a woman's worth is measure soley by her appearance? Who decided that? Who determined that you're only worth something as a woman as long as you do not have an ounce of fat on you and pretty face/features? Is that really all that matters anymore? Does it not matter if we are Godly women who love the Lord and try to follow and serve him? Does it matter anymore if someone is smart, funny, compassionate, giving, etc. etc. etc. Why is it always about appearance? The world has totally distorted our view on females I think. I am by NO MEANS a feminist but I am tired of being measured by my appearance or lack there of in some cases. I hate it! It's getting old. No wonder so many young girls and adult women have issues with self-esteem, eating disorders, etc. The world sends the message that all that matters is a women's appearance and sexuality. We'd like to limit it to just the world but unfortunately, even in the "Christian" world I've seen it as well. I just don't get it. Am I missing something?

Okay, I know appearance matters and I would agree that it does to a certain degree. But what message do we as Christians send when that's all we care about? Talk to myself here too. I'm obssessed with my appreance and not in a good way. I feel like the only worth I have is in how I look and that has come from a variety of influences. Yes some from the world's view but also from things I've seen/heard in Christian's views as well. I know that's not true and for me it is a CONSTANT battle, one that I unfortunately lose more than win. Okay maybe I'm a lot more insecure than other women are about their appearance. Maybe I am the only one who feels this way. I'm just tired of being judged by my appearance. Maybe if I weighed 100 lbs and looked like a supermodel I would feel differently! :) Who knows?!

Somethings I need to learn to do and some random thoughts

Things I Need to Learn To Do:

1. Make decisions

2.Tell people NO!

*Life would be a lot easier if it never consisted of decision making! I'm terrible at making decisions even small ones and you can forget about the big ones! I know that I am an adult and I have to make my own decisions now but sometimes it's just easier when other people can tell you what to do. Sometimes I feel so confused and alone and I just don't know what to do. When I think I have things figured out, something else happens and I'm back to being indecisive again. I hate it! I'm so afraid of making the wrong choice that I'm afraid to make any choice at all.


*I also need to learn to tell people no. Why I haven't learned that being a doormat is NOT the answer in life? IDK because I've had more experiences being one that a person should. But that's my fault because I can't say no! I don't know why I can't. I guess sometimes I care too much about what people think of me. I think sometimes I just don't want to let people down. I need to learn to say no though. That's why people ask me to do stuff a lot of the time I think is because I'm a doormat and they take advantage of that and ask me to do it cuz they know I will say yes.

*I hate feeling like I'm the only person feeling the way I'm feeling(not refering to the above things...something different) but at the same time I don't want to share it with anyone either. Maybe it's just me. Why do I pretend like everything is okay and smile when it's not? I wish it were easier for me just to trust. I don't know if I will ever learn to trust anyone. I'm always so guarded and let very few people in. Or let people all the way in and see the real me. I wish the Lord would help me make sense of it but he seems to be remaining silent for the time being. After all, he has some purpose for His silence. I know He hasn't forgotten me and I know He will answer me all in His timing. In my flesh, I just wish he'd hurry up and answer though. :)

One more random thought...why are some people such snobs? No one is better than anyone else and in case we've forgotten "For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God." Jesus is the only one without sin. If anyone has a right to be a snob it would be Him but of course that's not his character. He is perfect and without sin yet still loves us even though we are sinful and aren't worth of his grace/mercy. I think it's good for all of us (me included) to be reminded of that. I know I need that reminder everyday! I just don't understand why some people act like snobs. Maybe they don't mean to or maybe they don't realize that is how they are acting.

Just some thoughts I've been thinking.

Boxes and More Boxes!

So I am officially in my house. Thank you to everyone who helped me move to my new house! I couldn't have done it without all of y'all!

It still feels weird to be here because I keep thinking I'm just "visiting" at someone else's house! I'm sure it will feel real when I make that first payment! I have so many boxes to unpack and I don't even know where to start. I unpack a couple of boxes and then get start doing something else and I will never finish what I started! I've actually unpacked several boxes but it doesn't even look like I have!

I'm trying to decide on somethings that I need to get for the house and how to decorate. I am TERRIBLE at that kind of thing. I can't match things and I don't have an artistic bone in my body so I really feel out of my element here. Any ideas are welcome! I want to get everything set up and decorated quickly so I can have people over without a million boxes everywhere! At least I have an excuse for things being unorganized right now but I need to get on unpacking.

School is getting ready to start again. I always have mixed emotions. Part of me is so ready to get back into a schedule and routine but I know with that comes more "stress" and being super busy. I look forward to the beginning of each year but I get so nervous too. I'm excited to meet my new students but I'm also nervous because I don't like talking in front of adults and I know that goes along with it! I'm very excited about this year. I think it will be different but I think there are going to be some new and neat things that will be in place this year. I'm excited to learn about all of it!

I went to work today to work on our new writing standards and man I forgot how my brain seems to just shut down during the summer. I guess I didn't do as good of a job keeping it working like I intended. Oh well, it will get back in gear soon enough!

Well, since I am wide awak, maybe I should tackle some more boxes!

Home Sweet Home

I haven't written anything in a long time! I always have good intentions of starting things but sometimes don't finish them. I will try to do better to stay up with the blog but I'm not going to promise! :)

This summer has been very random and kinda crazy. It is an extra long summer for Putnam County employees since we are moving 4 schools this summer. I've enjoyed it but part of me is ready to start back so I can get back into a routine and structure! I know in a few months I will read this again and wonder what in the world I was thinking! That's how it always seems to go for me though. At the end of Summer I'm always ready to get back to work and for Fall to come. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Fall time. I just wish GA actually had good Fall weather and prettier leaves. One day I would love to go up to New England to see how pretty Fall is up there. My dad was born and raised in the Boston area and always told me stories of how pretty it is up there. I will get there one day...just not this year! Then Fall comes and I'm ready for Christmas. Then Winter is here and I'm ready for Spring right away. Then when Spring is here I'm about ready for Summer break. I'm never ready for Summer weather! LOL! I'm not a fan of shorts and well, the bigger you are the more you sweat, so I'm not a fan of hot weather cuz I HATE to sweat!
At thebeginning of my Summer in June I went to Italy. It was AMAZING and I really want to go back again. I will hopefully get around to writing some about that. I had intentions of journaling while I was over there, but that didn't happen! I was too exhausted by the time we got to the hotel at nigth to do anything other than shower and sleep! But I am going to try to put up some pics with a story from what I can remember. That will be a while though because the rest of my Summer will be spent unpacking a classroom and a house!
This Summer the Lord blessed me by giving me my very first house. It was so crazy how it all happened. I wasn't even looking for one because well, I couldn't afford anything on my own. So I was actually thinking of going back to school this Fall to get my Masters (which I still want to do) then when I was done with that I was going to start looking at houses again. However, God had different plans for me. I actually went to look at a different house that someone told me about that was a foreclosure. I went to go look at it and then found out it had already been sold. On my way out of the neighborhood, I saw another house that I've passed a million times that had been for sale for a while. It looked cute on the outside and I was curious to see how much it was. It had a huge sign that said REDUCED. I "knew" it would be too much but I figured what the heck. Can't hurt to look. So I wrote down the name of the realtor and when I got home, I searched for it on the Internet. When I found it, I saw more pictures of the inside and LOVED it right away and saw that it said "seller motivated please bring offers." I noticed that the asking price was more than I could afford but might not be too far away from a negotiation and the seller was motivated after all. So I emailed the realtor that night and schedule an appointment to look at the house that Monday. Of course when I saw the house and "toured" it I loved it immediately. So I was curious to see what I could afford. So I made an appointment with loan officer. I didn't get my hopes up because I was told the last time I went to do this that I wouldn't be able to afford anything over 100,000. But I decided to go to someone different this time.
So when I went in I actually qualified for a special loan because I made below a certain amount of money (being single finally paid off...hahaha!). That special type of loan made it to wear I didn't have to pay something (sorry can't remember all the "economical terms") but basically cut my monthly payment down by $100 or so. Well, after adding everything up it looked like my monthly payment was actually doable. I almost wet my pants. I said...Are you sure we've calculated everything because usually by now I am crying cuz there's no way I can afford a house. LOL! She said yes that is what your estimated monthly payment would be. So I went back and checked my budget again and again and again just to make sure cuz you know this is a big decision and all. Well, I talked with my parents and they helped me come up with an offer. So all of this happened within a week. It was exactly a week since I had seen the house and I went and put what I thought was a crazy offer that she would never accept. Well, I got a call back and the realtor said that she didn't accept my offer but she countered offered and it was still within my limit so I said I WILL TAKE IT!!! So then of course comes all the other stuff that goes with a house...signing a million papers and signing away your life! I had exactly a month before closing.
Well, here it is July 30th...I closed on the house yesterday and everything went smoothly. I even got some money back and because they had overestimated my insurance, my monthly payment has even gone down about $30 more! I have my keys and have started to move things in as much as I can on my own. I still can't believe that I have MY OWN house! It's so crazy. It was TOTALLY a GOD thing. I can see Him all the way through. I have no idea why He chose to bless me because I sure do NOT deserve it but I will gladly take it and give him the praise and glory for it! Thanks you God! :) I guess maybe he is rewarding me for being nieve (sp) enough to have tithed on my loans when I got them in college because I didn't know better! Apparently most people don't tithe on loans but I did! LOL!!! I just thought that you tithe on any money that the Lord gives you because to me it's still coming from Him! I always tithed on them and He always took care of me. Maybe that's why He is allowing me to have a house...LOL!! Who knows but God is good...all the time! Even when things are bad...He's still good. When things are good...He's still good! He's good all the time!

I will try to get pictures up. Everytime I've gone to the house I have forgotten my camera. Hopefully I will remember tomorrow! :)

1. Everything happens to me on holidays it seems like. I was born on Christmas, I had my appendix out on St.Patrick's Day when I was 10, had my ears pierced on Halloween (okay that one was controllable but not planned), and there's another one but I'm not gonna mention that out loud cuz no one wants to hear about it!

2. I want to write and publish a book. I'm currently working on this!

3. I am going to Italy in June but I also want to go to Ireland because that's where my family is from. I am 1/4 Irish!!

4. I am related to president James Monroe.

5. I've had pneumonia 4 times, 3/4 times had to be hospitalized for it.

6. I was in a TON of beauty pagents when I was little (that's when I was thinner!) and wanted to be Miss America one day.

11. I used to be able to impersonate the character Ms. Swan on Madtv but can't do it really well anymore!

12. In high school I liked Britney Spears back when she wasn't crazy and was clean and learned the dance to "You Drive Me Crazy" video and would do it for my friends cuz I have no life! LOL!

13. In my English class Senior year of high school we had to act out scenes from Macbeth and make up a song about Macbeth. We had to take a song that already existed and make new lyrics that fit with our scene from Macbeth. I made up one to (guess who) Britney Spears' Opps I Did It Again, but was too scared to sing it for my group. The pot head boy in our group made up one to Stairway To Heaven but didn't show up the day we had to do our performance so I was forced to do the Britney Spears one and it was the first time I ever sang in front of people. My crazy teacher made up awards for the performances that we had to vote on and I WON for "Best Song." LOL!!! Oh, did I mention that she taped our performances? So, there's some tape going around somewhere with me on it singing Macbeth's version of Opps I Did It Again!

20. I've never been kissed.

21. I was OBSSESSED with NSYNC in high school! LOL!

23. I want to go back to school to get my Masters (which I think I'm starting in October) and maybe my Specialist after that.

24. I've sprained my right ankle 3 times from falling down stairs all 3 times...apparently I'm not too graceful and surprisingly that's all that got injured! I'm not talking like 5 steps...I'm talking like at least 13 or more steps! When you miss the first step it's all down hill from there...literally!

25. I didn't learn how to swin until I was about 9/10 because I was afraid and still can't really swim that well and I won't go in water that's over about 4ft because I can't touch the bottom.

What the Lord is teaching me...

One of the main things I have learned from the Lord the past few months is that it is okay to be me. Not who I WISH I could be but who I am…who He created me to be. For most people this is probably a very simple concept to grasp and they probably have no idea what I’m talking about, but then there are others who can probably identify too well with what I’m saying. For so long, years, I’ve been struggling with accepting myself. For most of my life I’ve hated pieces of me (like everyone does at some point) and at times I’ve hated most of me and there have been times when I’ve hated all of me. The Lord has been teaching me that it’s not okay for me to view myself this way (DUH)!! Yeah, you’d think that would be an easy one to get huh?! Sometimes the easiest concepts are the hardest for me to learn. Plus, I’m stubborn and the Lord has to teach me over and over because I don’t seem to get it the first couple or several times he tries to tell me! But recently the Lord’s shown me that I’ve been so busy trying to be other people or other things that he never created me to be. This should be an easy concept to grasp and live, however it’s not for me. It’s probably my biggest struggle that I face. No wonder I’m constantly failing at being those other people or those other things…THAT’S NOT WHO I AM OR WHO I’M SUPPOSED TO BE. It’s OKAY to be me. It’s OKAY to be who he created me to be. There are things that I may not like all the time but it’s okay to be those things. That doesn’t mean that I don’t need to work on areas of my life to be more like Christ because I DO. There are things about me that I do need to change, but I’ve been so busy trying to change all of me that I had forgotten who I am and who I am supposed to be. Then one day it seriously seemed to just hit me out of the blue that it was okay to be me. Of course it really wasn’t out of the blue, but that I finally understood what the Lord had been trying to get through my incredibly THICK head! So here are some things about me that I’ve realized are okay to be.
1. Shy- I’ve always been shy ever since I was little and I realized that it is okay. Not everyone is going to be super social. I don’t like big social events with lots of people because I (as Mr. Darcy would say...)”do not have the do not have the talent of conversing easily with people I have never met before.” It’s not easy for me and I am shy and that is okay.
2. Introverted- I’m NOT outgoing AT ALL and that IS OKAY!!! For the longest time I’ve convinced myself that it is NOT okay to be an introvert and that I am supposed to be outgoing and talk to everyone and be everyone’s bff but that’s simply not true. It’s okay that I’d rather stay out of the center of attention and just listen and watch. It’s okay that I’d rather just hang out with one person at a time or a small group of people. It’s okay that I’m more comfortable in small social situations. I’m not sure where I got the idea that I had to be outgoing to be worth something…sounds ridiculous, I KNOW!
3. Uptight-this one might be walking a thin line and sometimes I definitely do need to chill out but I am not the most laid back person all the time, there are things bother me, and I am passionate about things and sometimes that may get the best of me. But just because my personality is not naturally laid back, doesn’t mean that there is something wrong with me either. I just may have to work at not overreacting to some things some times and being uptight may not be the most desirable quality, but that is okay!
4. Some people are just not going to like me- This is a very hard one that I’m still working on but I am learning to get over the fear of rejection. I’ve been so afraid of letting people really get to know me and see who I am because I’m afraid they won’t like me. Outside of my family, VERY few people really know me. Sometimes, not everyone is going to like me and that is okay and I have to learn to be okay with that. Jesus was who he was supposed to be. Some people loved him and devoted their lives to him. Other people despised and rejected him and treated him in a way that seems unimaginable but it happened. When I stop and think about how Jesus was treated, my fear seems so silly and insignificant to what he went through all for me and you because of his great love for us. People didn’t like Jesus and it didn’t stop him from being who God sent him to be and to do what God sent him to do. That’s the kind of focus I am striving for that no matter what happens or who doesn’t like me or whatever the case may be that nothing stops me from being who God created me to be and to do what God created me to do.
5. My Appearance-Okay THIS one is the hardest for me. I have definitely not overcome this one but am learning. I am not going to be the thinnest girl in the world. I may never even make it back to how I looked when I was thin and I have to be okay with that. I’m constantly trying to take care of myself by trying to eat right and exercise and keep myself healthy and that is what is important. I am never going to be the most beautiful girl in the world (by man’s standards) and that’s okay because the Lord is “enthralled by your beauty” (Psalm 45:11) and I shouldn’t be so hung up my appearance. The Lord created me how he did for a reason. Yeah, I could go have a ton of plastic surgery (not that I have $ for that nor would I want to) and re-create my face, but then that’s not who the Lord made me to be. I’m starting to realize that instead of looking at the fact that I’m not super beautiful, I should be thankful that I have two eyes, a nose, a mouth, hair, etc. and that it all works how it’s “supposed to.”
Yes, a lot of this sounds extremely selfish and superficial but this is me being real. These are my struggles even though they are selfish and superficial. I’ve been so afraid to be real with people because I’m afraid of rejection but I’m getting over that and learning to open up more. I have not overcome all of these struggles and I may struggle throughout my life on some of these issues. They may be my “thorns in my side” like Paul writes in Corinthians. I certainly have not conquered all of my fears and struggles but I know that I am “More than a conqueror through Christ Jesus,” (Romas 8:37) and I will continue to lean on him for strength to overcome my battles and conqueror them!
