relive a dream

So I have one more week left before I get to relive my dream again of a stay at home mommy! - well for 2 weeks anyway! Except I have so much to get done, not only at home, but at work too! I love teaching, it was for sure my calling, but I wish sometimes that I could just teach and not worry about everything else. I teach first grade ( for those of you who don't know) and I don't think I could do another grade. Maybe kindergarten, but nothing else. I like the independence of a 6 or 7 year old or should I say not to much independence-lol It is nice to not go one day without a hug or a smile, or a piece of paper with a child's best art work that reads- best teacher ever- and I love Mrs. Gibson.
but sometimes I feel like my own children suffer because of my job- especially my bad days when my patience is just well gone! Or because my babysitter spends more time with my kids than I do during the school year and that breaks my heart! I don't know what I would do without her- but I want to be able to share those moments with my kiddos that I miss and instead I share them with other people's children- who I am sure feel the same way as me.

feeling left out

Does anyone read my blog?!?!?! Just wondering!

Christmas Cards

Hey I every mentioned that Christmas is my FAVORITE holiday!! Not only for what it means to me- but how awesome of a holiday that it is!!! So therefore, I LOVE CHRISTMAS CARDS!!!! When I was a little girl- I loved checking the mail- I don't really know why- but I did! When I grew up, that love seemed to disappear when the mail became bills for me to pay, but during the holiday season that love comes back! I like to see what everyone choose for their cards and to see pictures of how everyone has changed and what everyone is up to now! I makes my heart warm and fuzzy inside to realize that people thought of my family and I to send holiday greeting to! So this year I have been trying to decide what cards I am going to send my holiday wishes out with. Then I saw that shutterfly was giving away 50 free cards to bloggers who posted about cards- so what more could I ask for! I went to look for the ultimate card for my family--------WOW!!! is about the only word I can say!!!! I never knew that there would be so many designs and how hard it would be for me to pick out a card--- I really love them all- but I have narrowed it down and here are a few of my favorites!!

Mommy.....

So here lately Cally has been such a sweet girl!! She will out of the blue come and tell me that she loves me! Like today as I was cleaning house- she is sitting on the couch with her hands over her ears because I am vacuuming--- she yells at the tops of her lungs.... " mommy, hey mommy.... I love you!!!!" Man I love being a mommy!!!!!!!!!!!!!

back to reality

So much for the dream- I have to go back to work!!!! Tomorrow is my first day back with kids!! I am really nervous- it is like the first day of school for me!!! I will soon be counting down the days until Thanksgiving Break, then Christmas Break, then spring break, then the end!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
