Trying to figure it out

So it is that time of the school year where the principal calls you into the office and asks you what are your intentions for next school year..... so you must reflect on this school year. So my principal called me in last Friday.. looked me in the eye and said I can tell it's not for you! WOW! She noticed or did someone tell her. The week before two members of the administration team had asked me if I wanted to move back to 5th or stay in 2nd. Well of course I was honest and said I WANT TO MOVE BACK UP!
Well, I did tell the principal that I would love to be moved back to 5th grade, 4th grade, heck I would even try 3rd grade. I just can't handle the whiny, snotty kids! I love the sassy kids that .. how can I put this... I can joke with and they can joke back but you know it's all fun and play. These second graders take everything literally. UGHHH not for me!
I also maybe put my foot in my mouth because I said if she absolutely would rathe rme stay in second grade I would. I just had some request for her if she kept me there. I do admit... I love the fact that I am not pressured with the testing fact, higher order thinking is not as hard as if I am in the higher grades because these kids are still in the learning stage.
So no matter what happens I will probably still have to pack up my junk once again. I just hope I know early enough so I can start planning this summer. I want to be organized next school year. The crowded room must be organized. If I am in a butler building again next year, I am asking my father in law to make me some storage!
Pray for choice for me that will be great!
This is ray of sunshine for me! I had a really good teaching day yesterday! My students are working well as teams and the computer is their best friend. WOOHOOO! Hopefully it's another good day today! It is amazing what happens when one kid is not there!
I am feeling happy today.. hope it doesn't get ruined.

I wish I were a kid again

First I want to start by thanking my friend Kim for the award she gave my blog. It's called the Honesty Scrap Award! I didn't really read through her whole blog about it but I did read my directions. Problem is I don't know seven blogs

Here are the rules:

Rule #1: Choose a minimum of 7 blogs that you find brilliant in content or design.
Rule #2: Show the 7 winners' names and links on your blog, and leave a comment informing them that they were prized with the "Honest Scrap" award.
Rule #3: List at least ten honest things about yourself.

I'll do the ten honest things about myself.

1. Just like my friend Kim i hate shopping.Including shoe shopping. I hate crowds. I hate lines. I hate the money that it takes.

2.I miss my best friend Lainie and secretly wish either she would move here or I could move back there just so I could spend time with her.

3. I must be the only daughter in law in the world that gets along better with her mother in law than her own mom.

4. I use to be a person with high self esteem but along the route of my teaching career have developed a complex about not being good at things. What the hell happened to me?

5. I have become a person I would hope I never would be. I am happy to say I am slowly kicking this habit, but I have my days of defeat.

6. In the same sentence I can say I love not living down the bayou but wish I were still down there. Does that make sense?

7. Wish I had the life of some people I have befriended,but have to realize life doesn't work that way.

8. I am really trying to understand why my husband has a hard time with religion, but at the same time wishes he would come with me to church.

9. As much as some people think I am not I am HAPPY with my life, just wish I had made better financial decisions when I was younger.

10. I really want to be the person everyone remembers me to be. I am trying hard! I am getting over my hump of depression. I just have to remember to stay with the right people and let God handle everything.

Now for my title of this blog. I really do wish I were a kid again. I have been sick for 4 days now. It sucks to be a momma and being sick. You don't get the recoup time you need unless you send the kids to school and take the day off of work just so you can sleep it off.
As much as my husband and in-laws tried to help my recouping time it helped a little but not a whole lot. My in-laws took Kaleb yesterday which helped to only have Logan to look after, but he decided he was going to be hard headed and not sleep. So I chased and fussed all day yesterday. Saturday, Brady kept Kaleb quiet while Logan and I napped. Still great but Logan is a horrible sleeper. So honestly, until today when after I dropped the boys off at school and slept the rest of the day.. I did not feel well.
The other thing that I longed for was some of my Maw-Maw's chicken soup. When I was a kid, when Maw-Maw knew we were sick she always made us a chicken and rice soup... or as she called it soup de mallad (?) soup of the sick. I miss my chicken soup this weekend. I made me one tonight and boy did it make me feel better. Wasn't like Maw-Maw's but close enough. Another reason why I miss down the bayou.
I miss being a kid when you were able to forget about everything when you were sick and just get better. Now I must chase after my 5 and 2 year olds and give them a bath while trying to not fall asleep from taking Tylenol Cold and sudafed all day.
Anybody else want to share what they miss about being a kid? Drop me a line!

My baby is 2

I know once I post the pictures they will be on top so here's the blog and pictures.































































2 years, 9 months, and 1 day ago I could smell every bad order, felt horrible, and had yet another spotty period. So I knew I was pregnant. I didn't tell Brady or anyone. Went to Wal-Mart which by chance met up with my in-laws they took Kaleb I came home took the test and then had dinner with Brady. Before I left I sent Brady an email telling him he was going to be a Daddy. We had dinner, I left his workplace and about an hour later I get a call from him saying.. you didn't even say anything.
Fast forward 9 months, Logan Timothy decided he wanted to share a birthday with Elvis. He also wanted to make his debut quickly. I felt my first hard pain at 4 AM by 7 AM I was driving myself to the hospital to be checked. Dr King walked in took my blood pressure said it was elevated wanted to keep me in for observations because of the problems with Kaleb, when she checked, my water bag was bulging and she said we are having this baby today. So on January 8th, 2007 at 2:35 PM Logan Timothy was welcomed into the world.
My baby is 2 and I have so many more wonderful years to look forward to with him. He is my ham. He is a spitfire!
I made his Elmo birthday cake. But I figured I would capture both of Logan's personalities and made it an Oscar the Grouch and Elmo cake. See pictures above
