- About Me:
- I am originally from San Antonio, Texas (hook 'em y'all!) and hope to return there and teach for North East Independent School District. I want to teach English at the high school level. I have one little girl, Zoe Peyton, and an evil dog (free to a home...ANY home). No, we love our Parker. I am also married to a soldier currently serving in Afghanistan. I am a member of Spring Creek Baptist Church where I am the Sunday School secretary. I am also the historian for APSU's chapter of STEA.

reflecting...
I am almost finished with observations..hooray.
I was taking notes yesterday and making sure I was reflecting over the bullets on my reflection log and I realized something about myself. Unfortunately what I realized doesn't have much of a spot on my reflection log or paper- so I'm sticking it here.
I won't lie- I am scared to be a teacher. It's a huge task and responsibility. I go into my observation school where I see students who aren't engaged, don't care, and it isn't the teacher's fault (a… Continue

worth considering...
A few weeks ago I read an article about an initiative going on in New Hampshire, of course now I can't find it. But I did find one from the Christian Science Monitor.
Basically New Hampshire and 2 other states are going to start testing in the sophomore year. The results of the scores determine what the student is "qualified" to do. this means then gives the student options about how he wished to spend his next 2 years of hig… Continue

My husband is pretty good with the kids. Like you, I am a bit of a control freak; and I know he won't feed/bathe/put them to bed the way I would, but they will be taken care of. It will be eye-opening for him, too. I bet your husband will feel more at ease with her as Zoe gets older. My husband certainly did not stay home with the kids when they were her age either.
I am so ready for this semester to be over!! I feel a little sad to not have classes with some of the gals I've become fond of, though. :(
I am so excited. Part of me feels extremely guilty about leaving my kids (with their dad), but it's an opportunity for ME that I can not give up. I'm sure as a mom you know how much of your life gets devoted to your child/ren, and that's is perfectly GREAT and natural and right...but this is something I want (need?) to do for me. I am just telling myself it's not selfishness- it's an opportunity to be a more educated mama...? Yeah.
Six months from today!!!
Think about it. ;)
