Oh
back to school. We have a love hate relationship. I love my job and
enjoy being in a routine but I also hate to leave my bed especially when it’s
so stinking cold outside. I realize that some of youcrazies are dealing
with negative temperatures and I am in Texas but Snow M.G. I can barely handle
it.

Let’s
talk about 2015. Um, it’s here. As in, all day erryday. Ha! Seriously, where did last semester go?
Mind blown over here! The silver lining to this mini melt down is that my sweet
husband has been working on a project for work for the last nine months and
most weeks he is gone Monday-Friday which has left me in single parent
mode. This has been challenging but I can totally do the mom thing all day long (though
the whole taxi situation is life sucking). Everything else had to go to the
back burner. Blogging, creating, girls nights (tragic)…all in the crapper. I’m cool with it though because my three ridiculously
dramatic and one million percent teenager teens are so worth it.

Oh, speaking of..my daughter takes her driving test tomorrow. Say a prayer for
her. She actually turned 18 over the break but doesn’t have her
license yet. Let’s just say she has been
driving impaired and we weren’t
rushing the situation. Fingers crossed it goes well. Eek! That also means that
I can get some more flipping help with this whole taxi situation. Ha!

Anyway, hubs is done with the work project and is now back home full
time. I also have a love hate relationship
with that. LOL! When he is gone, I didn’t have to cook so much. The kids cooked
for themselves and I made me a soup or salad. Easy right. Well hubs is a little
more complicated and wants crap like SIDES and COOKED
MEAT.
Ha! It will be an adjustment but so worth it. I love him so much and when he
was gone, my heart hurt.

I stayed at school until 6:00 p.m. tonight. I know most of you dread
that but I have only been able to do that about three times this school
year. It’s so nice to now have the
freedom to stay late and catch up or get head.
I feel really good about this semester right now just because I know I
have him to count on at home.

I have a ton of goals for 2015…
Still working on the whole baby thing, sigh. I’m believing like no
body’s business! I went back and read my 13 for ’13 tonight. I’m not going
to lie, I shed a few tears. My faith has not dwindled
in the least bit. I’m still
believing and awaiting my miracle. I was having trouble picking out my One Little Word for 2015. Last year was HOPE and man oh man
did I have and still do. I think this year my OLW will be GROW. I would love
to grow in so many ways. I want to grow as a wife, mother, teacher. I would also
love to grow a belly that is not full of jelly if ya get what I mean. 😉 I’m cracking myself up over here. Seriously,
if my butt grows anymore, it’s getting an eviction notice!

I feel like if I am GROWing, I am moving
forward. There are times when I want to
just remain still and wait and then there are times when I feel like I am
supposed to grow. God has stretched me to my max this year with my class. I get
upset and frustrated and he does something to break my heart and remind me why
he has placed me, or really why he has placed these children with me. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger right?
Well who every said that is stupid. Just kidding. Maybe. 😉 Some days I don’t
want to be made strong but then again, I want to grow. Let’s just call this
school year full of growing pains and you peeps are my therapist. Thank you
very much. You
can mail your bill to Kreative in
Kinder @ 987 Not Getting Paid, Hot Mess, TX 12345. Ha!

In the spirit of moving and shaking, I finally created something
new. I am super excited to start creating monthly
poetry units for my kids. If you’ve followed my blog for a while, you know that
poetry has always been part of our weekly routine in my classroom. You can
click these pictures for more details and stay tuned for more months to come.

I’ll leave you with my family’s Christmas card. I planned on posting
it last month but, well last month is gone soooo that didn’t work out so well
did it?! If I did all the things I planned to do or wanted to do, well this stinkin’
to do list wouldn’t be 57 pages long. Ha!

I hope you are having a great return to school and staying warm. Keep calm and teach on. Love and virtual hugs!
So glad to see you back in the saddle! Ha! Can't wait to read more of your adventures. I feel your pain about your class this year. But…at least we aren't alone. hahaha Get sleep, it helps!
Andrea 🙂
Good to see you back! Hope your first week back has gone well. I had that class last year and it definitely pushed me, but I am a better teacher this year because of it.

We could so use an extra taxi driver over here as well! All of our oldest are just turning 13. Would love to go straight to an extra set of wheels to cart everyone around. Best of luck to your daughter.
Looking forward to seeing you at the SCKC next month 🙂
