1st Day Pic!

I figured it out and got some pictures uploaded!  Here's my first day of school pic.  I captured all of my kiddos in this frame as well!  

It's a little blurry but it says.."My 1st Day of 1st Grade". 

"Bear" with Me!

This whole blog thing is new to me...kind of! I would classify myself as a pretty good "blog stalker".  I read lots of blogs and often ask myself if I am being creepy because I know a lot of information about people and they have no idea that I am even reading.  It has led me to want one of my own and hope to inspire, give a laugh, and simply fill you in on parts of my day.  So here we go....

I now have TWO full weeks of teaching under my belt.  It doesn't seem possible.  I can still feel the nerves I felt as I drove to Sumner for my interview.  I was super early and toured the town.  I can still feel the awful feeling of uncertainty as I waited to find out if I got the job, I'm not sure I ever laid my phone down.  I felt so good about my interview, yet had felt that way before so was scared to let myself get excited.  I did a ridiculous happy dance after I had been offered the job and totally interrupted one of Gavin's meetings (in my swimming suit..EEK...because I was trying to lay out to pass the time) like a giddy little school girl.  I then spent the remaining part of my summer getting to do the things I had always dreamed of doing.  It began it by spending countless hours on Pinterest and teacherspayteacher.com and then umpteen hours laminating and cutting!  Now back to having two weeks under my belt...

It has been nothing but a dream come true.  I would be lying if I said there weren't some things that totally threw me off guard, made me want to cry, or have me completely frustrated, but those have all been minor.  There have been WAY more good things than bad and I can't wait to share some of them. First things first though, I should try and get some sleep.

I'm in the process of getting pictures loaded to this computer so you'll have to wait a bit before I become a bear due to lack of sleep.


Toodles!
