Oh, hello there, it's me.

As I was attempting to catch up on my blog reading (ohmygoodness there is no end in sight) I ran across Stephanie's {Falling into First} Meet the Teacher Linky and I was like yesssss.  I have a boatload of blog posts in draft form and nothing finalized and the beginning of the year is almost in full swing and it's 99 degrees today and I have no air conditioning and I have to pick a new health plan asap and my brain is on overload.  All part of why I love my job.  Except the air conditioning part.  I may be spending time in my car later just so that I can cool off.

THEN I was reading Diane's {Fifth in the Middle} meet the teacher post and I was like yesssss.  I, too, am feeling like a first year teacher with eight years of experience because I switched schools and moved halfway across the country....and I totally related to her post.  

So that's how I got to this point.  But if you want to know more, here's a little about me...

 THESE ARE A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS...

*when you're talking with a friend and realize they totally get you*  

*new school supplies* 

*teaching & learning*

*laughing*

*being challenged*

*books books books*
*going on adventures and retelling the stories later*

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

I was convinced I would be a child and family psychologist all through high school.  Then someone told me I would probably take my work home with me every day and it would take an emotional toll on me.  So then I became a teacher.  Wait, what?  

But I think teaching is the better fit and this is where I'm supposed to be.  So I guess I can thank whoever gave me that weird advice and totally doesn't understand teaching.
