It is a bittersweet week; I am getting ready for my passion for learning and at the same time, I am not getting to spend as much time as I would like with Harry. We have had a fabulous summer and it is not over, just a couple of more days and I will be back devoted to my classroom. I have been up there quite a bit but, not near as much as I would like. As most of you who know me know, I absolutely love my job! I especially love my job from August to April and then my emotional stability gets shaky! I love my coworkers, we are very close and work very well together, I have an amazing principal and lets just say my assistant principal and I are on a path to a good friendship. I could not ask for more in a job, now less, I could ask for! I would prefer to work a couple of days a week and chill with Harry the rest, but time will answer that request. Anyhow, I have no doubts that this is what God has planned for me, not that I agree 100% but, I know I am in my element when I am teaching. Oh and if you are sitting there thinking, she gets her summers off etc....talk to a teacher with a toddler and maybe your judgements will change. Just and idea:)
On another note: I changed a few things on my good ole' never fail, can't believe I went 25 years without it BLOG! I have to give it to blogger, I wouldn't remember half the stuff I put on here if I had not met up and created a loving relationship with this amazing resource. On the other hand, he gets annoying....enough said. When you live with someone for 2 years and have such a serious and devoted relationship like we do, there is bound to be a few rocky patches at some point. Blog and I are having some relationship problems. I am not as devoted and dedicated as I once was and it is keeping me out of the blog loop and my posts are not as good as I would like them to be. I thought that a quick make over would help me to get me to keep up with our events and my ideas. Let's see how it goes!
I took off my links list because, they are no good to me anymore I have a favorites link with them all on there and most of you went private. There are probably 10 that I haven't added and a couple I don't check as often anymore. If you are reading this, I am totally not talking about your blog! Your blog is my favorite:)
I end this with a question, a thought, request, and an idea:
Will I learn to balance my acts(passions) of mother and teacher gracefully this year?
So many amazing women have done it and are better for it, so it is possible for some.
Will you prayer I get it better than I did last year. I want to be a better teacher and mother along with being a better wife. Although, I must say Chad is the easiest out of the three!
Peace, Love, and Back to School

hey girl,
I emailed you but haven't heard back but sometimes real e mails go to my SPAM folder.
I wanted to check in with ya about the blog makeover--you still interested?
I loved your "deep thoughts post"!! I also have similar worries as I approach motherhood.
I think all mothers go through this hard time, trying to balance work and their babies!! I struggle with the same feelings but I know that when Tayson isn't with me, he is getting such good care and is learning so much from a different perspective than mine, which will make him a more rounded person. At least that is what I try and make myself believe! I know that you are a great mom and are doing a great job! Just keep reminding yourself that He has a plan for all of us and He will continue to guide you in the right direction!
I love this post! I know I will probably be going back to work next year and I will feel the same way-I will probably be asking you for advice on how to get through the day! You are such an awesome mommy and I LOVE when you update your blog so I can see more of what you guys are up to! I will have to get a couple of those blog addresses from you b/c a few of them I check every so often. It has gotten a lot harder for me to keep up with all of the blogs I added to my list too. My list tells me when each blog updates though so that saves a TON of time b/c I don't have to check the sites. Anyway-long comment I know! Miss you guys!

I want to hang out with you, you are just the bees knees.
Isn't motherhood just full of wonderful worries? Do I spend enough time with my little one? Can I glorify God through my gifts of service, my spiritual strengths, and still be enough at the end of the day for my family and myself? Do I complete my calling each day in a way that's pleasing to God? Is my child being well taken care of and provided for? With the pleasure of meeting you face to face this summer and spending a few hours listening to your heart, I know you are more than capable of being everything God has created you to be in this world. You are a woman of many talents! (Speaking of, I am still waiting to hear the rest of what's in the works for you!)
I will pray specifically for you this week and your heart as you must return to the workfield. I know Harry will miss you, but as I said before, you are making a difference in the lives of so many other children. That in itself is a huge calling!
May the God of peace and direction bring you a sense of completion and calmness.
Best of luck,
I know what you mean about work/parenting. I don't even have children yet but as my hubby and I contemplate kids, I am constantly trying to figure out what is best financially, emotionally and spritually. It's hard, no doubt!! I think you are doing a great job!
Oh, yeah, and I love your new blog design!
