A little glimpse

Take a peek at the curtains and pillows that now grace my classroom. My friend Mindy, to whom I am forever indebted, made them for me. I LOVE THEM!!! It makes my days so much better working in a happy room! Thanks Mindy!!!!

It's ONLY been a decade.

My posting might not be so regular the next week or two. Just giving a heads up. I am so excited to be wrapped up in my wonderful first graders!! I will be back though! I'm a bit rusty at running my own room...it's only been a decade!

What do you want to be when you grow up?

Last month, Todd's work had "Take your kid to work day." Todd doesn't take 1 kid, he takes 4 kids. Fun for him, I'm sure. This year they had things planned from early morning until 4 pm, and I had a day at home all alone. WOW!!! As they left I told them to have a great day, kissed them all and asked them, "What do you want to be when you grow up?"

Jesse - An NY Yankee baseball player
Sadey - cosmetologist
Mairzey - a cake artist
Brody - Kindergarten Art teacher

When they all got home they gave me the rundown of the day. Jesse loved playing Wii in the break room for 3 hours, Sadey learned a little about saving money, Mairzey loved the fake badges and pretending to swipe it all day, and Brody loved learning how to make origami puppies and they were amazed that king size candy bars are 35 cents in the break room too.

Hmmmmm.
So I asked, "Now, what do you want to be when you grow up?"

Not one of them changed the first answer.


We love Todd. He is such a great papa and provider. :)

List of Me

So, today I spoke in church. I had the hardest time getting this talk together for some reason. My topic was Joseph Smith. At first I thought the task was going to be easy but the more I thought about giving a synopsis of who he was, what he did for mankind, etc. in 12-15 minutes, I panicked. I wrote most of a talk that went out the window this morning at 5:30 am after sleeping restlessly all night. I finished at 7 am and went back to sleep, peacefully I might add. FINALLY!!! It was finally the right talk. I ended up listing 10 adjectives I would use to describe this special man and then gave evidence of my claim.

This got me thinking...how would I describe myself? What would my list include? What would you include on my list? How do others see me?

If you are reading this, leave me a couple of adjectives you would use to describe me. I'll hop on over to your blog and do the same. Be nice. I am dieting, remember??? :)
