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.


THREE LITTLE WORDS THAT DESCRIBE YOU.
happy * dedicated * focused

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

"Yes, I'm the one who broke the copier"
 


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

All my family and friends.  They're fantastic.


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

Let's do Lunch

 Q:YOU GET TO PICK ONE SUPERPOWER. WHAT IS IT?
 To help people understand another side of a situation or argument.


Q: WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE QUOTE OR SAYING?

or... 

 

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

 Hallelujah 
...although I'd be terrible.

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

Night owl...but since moving to the west coast, I've stayed on central time and I'm just up early in the morning and grumpy about it.  Coffee to the rescue! 

 
Q: WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE RESOURCE THAT YOU'VE CREATED IN YOUR TPT SHOP?

 This is so silly, but I think it's my Place Value Bulletin board set!  I love it every year!  





Q: SHARE SOMETHING WE MIGHT NOT KNOW ABOUT YOU!

I love Nancy Drew books... I collect vintage editions and will go into complete geek mode if you strike up a conversation about them with me.


So go ahead and link up... or just go read about your favorite teacher bloggers and discover some new favorites to follow!
