I have a list of things to say and a bigger list to do....
1. I'm subbing for a month (2 weeks down) / High School English (AP and Eng III)/ really enjoying it and may even apply to change my Rank I focus to Secondary English...
2. My kids are more work throughout the day than the students are...I NEVER thought that would be the case b'c teaching wears one out! You try it...teaching something worth knowing to a group of teenagers while also keeping them under control yet interested all at once...fine, fine balance! Add in lots of other variables, like keeping updated gradebook and constantly changing lesson plans...my thought is if I'm going to teach someone's child, they deserve every last ounce of oomph I have. BUT anyway, after today, I will not only say it, I'll pseudo-publish it: working outside the home has been a break for me! I feel like somebody should pat me on the back b'c for almost 4 years now, I thought I took the easy route when I quit teaching. NOT the case. SO not the case. Childcare providers should be paid so much more than they are. That's a whole other post. WHOLE new perspective. Maybe if I had super easy kids (if there is such a thing), I would feel different. Maybe if my kids were older and self-sufficient, I would feel different. But the fact is, being home full-time w/ little ones with childcare only once every 2 months when my mom is in town...is hard.
3. I have lost track of time and have neglected the blog for too long...but I haven't had time!
4. I have to get back to reading my bible daily...trying to read through it...getting nowhere fast since I started teaching...my fault!
5. Please pay for me...unspoken (and Shawn, also unspoken).
6. I am going to get a new camera one of these days...and maybe even a camcorder. Are they even still called that? I'm behind the times...and it's blaringly obvious now that I'm around 17 yr olds on a daily basis!
7. I am going to drop these final 6 lbs or else.
