meet the teacher

I am linking up with Stephanie from Falling Into First for her Meet the Teacher linky! I did one of these when I first started blogging, but thought it would be fun to do again!

This will be my 9th year teaching...Holy Moly! I taught Kindergarten for 3 years, 5th for one (PROPS TO THOSE THAT DO BC I NEVER WANT TO AGAIN!), and this will be my 5th year in Fourth! I teach in Southport, NC, which you may know as the setting of Safe Haven! It was also filmed here, so if you've seen the movie, you know where I am!

I've been married to this guy for 3 years now.  We met in 2006 thru friends, but didn't start dating until 2009.  He is definitely my rock, my best friend, and I don't know what I would do without him! He also is a wonderful dad to these two beauties...they keep us busy for sure!

 Isnt that the cutest thing ever? She loves her little sis!

THESE ARE A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS...

Family and friends, the beach, my iPhone, chocolate ice cream, Target, my king size bed, Dr Pepper

 IF YOU WEREN'T A TEACHER, WHAT WOULD YOU WANT TO BE?

An Accountant....sounds boring, but I love math and think I would be good at it!

THREE LITTLE WORDS THAT DESCRIBE YOU.

sarcastic, funny, motivated

 

FINISH THE SENTENCE, "________,  SAID NO TEACHER EVER!!"

especially funny in NC at the moment!
 

Q: IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY AND YOU CAN INVITE ANYONE {DEAD OR ALIVE} TO THE PARTY. WHO ARE YOU INVITING?

my daddy...I'd love for him to be able to meet his grand daughters!

Q: IF SOMEONE WROTE A BOOK ABOUT YOUR LIFE, WHAT WOULD BE THE TITLE?

ooo toughy...right now it would be CRAZY MESS I'M IN

 Q:YOU GET TO PICK ONE SUPERPOWER. WHAT IS IT?

wiggle my nose and have whatever I want/need appear or disappear! I want to be Samantha Stevens!

Q: WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE QUOTE OR SAYING?

"Life isnt about finding yourself, its about creating yourself"

Q: IF YOU HAD TO SING ONE SONG ON AMERICAN IDOL, WHAT WOULD IT BE? 

 probably Rumpshaker or Baby Got Back (and no, I do not have a fascination with butts!)

i can't sing, but can bust a rap!

 

 Q: ARE YOU A MORNING PERSON OR A NIGHT OWL?

Neither usually...I love to sleep in, but go to bed at a decent hour.  These days though, baby gets me up between 5-6. 

Q: SHARE SOMETHING WE MIGHT NOT KNOW ABOUT YOU! 

I started out as a dance major...I took classes from 3 years of age until 28.  I still teach the dance group at my church!

Be sure to link up with Stephanie to meet some fabulous bloggers!!

August already?

I can not believe it is August already! Summer is just flying by. I am hoping to get out to my room next week and get it all put together.  Is it sad that I am only planning on going 1 day, and just get what I can done? I'm not going to be all anal this year like I normally am...well at least I hope not! I've got babies to take care of!

Anywho, I am linking up with Farley for August Currently...

1. Listening- I just put my youngest daughter to bed, and hubs and oldest have been asleep for a bit..so it's just me and the dog.  She only comes out when the babes are asleep...so sad.  She's a toy poodle, so she gets scared easily, yet also thinks she's a pit bull at times? 

2. Loving- new babe is sleeping fantastic! Every night she goes between 5-6 hours so that equals a pretty happy rested mama! I hope I'm not jinxing it!

3. Thinking- I need to sleep...sleep when baby sleeps right? But I keep finding all of these great ideas for my classroom and feel like I should be working on them!

4. Wanting- I ordered some border, notebook paper charts, awesome letters, and a few other things for my classroom.  As soon as it arrives, I will go start working in my room.  School is 35 minutes away, so I only want to go once if I can help it.  

5. Needing- lose baby weight...I thought nursing helped you to lose weight? I know it's only been a month, but I'm not expecting it all to come off at once.  It would be nice if the scale moved down a lb or two though! Any suggestions, please send my way.

6. First day- Technically, August 18 is my first day back.  But I am taking another month of FMLA to stay home with baby.  I just can't see going back to work when she is only 6 weeks old.  Family must come first. I may go the 18th for the Welcome Back meeting though...just so I'm not out of the loop when I do go back.  Kiddos start August 25. 

Well that's it! Be sure to link up with Farley!
