HI AMY.........just givin you a holla!

what's up internet?! been a while again since i posted. have a lot to say but so little time.

i'll start with the kids. owen and hali.






owen is so fun and does all kinds of fun things! his favorite thing to do right now is anything trains. he loves them. hali is beginning to smile and laugh. she just turned 2 months.


my job is very challenging. not sure how much i like it but they sure like me for some reason. probably i'm the only one who can handle the kids in my class. i was off for 2 days ..........sanity vacation, and while i was gone, they broke a bunch of stuff and made 2 subs cry. CRY!! and people wonder why i'm stressed and talk about change a lot *L*

anyway, i'm off to the job i work at. i hope everyone has a good friday!

woot woot!

fall over! i'm so exhausted from this week that i can hardly stand it. i'm literally worn out. those kids are challenging. i was SO happy when one set of twins went home today at 1130. then i remembered that the next set is going to be there at 2.

i have about 6 minutes left on my break...i'm finishing up laundry and then i have to go back. too bad i didn't nap on my break.

happy friday!

Happy Mother's Day, Mom!

A MOTHER'S LOVE

There are times when only a Mother's love
Can understand our tears,
Can soothe our disappointments
And calm all of our fears.

There are times when only a Mother's love
Can share the joy we feel
When something we've dreamed about
Quite suddenly is real.

There are times when only a Mother's faith
Can help us on life's way
And inspire in us the confidence
We need from day to day.

For a Mother's heart and a Mother's faith
And a Mother's steadfast love
Were fashioned by the Angels
And sent from God above.

My life, summarized

So, I have to tell you all about my new job. I had taken a job at a private day care right after my nanny position was done. Well, I worked there for 2 days. Each day I came home and cried. Each day I went to work and cried. It was not a good place for me to be. So I quit. Which was dumb on my part. REALLY dumb, but I couldn't take it. So I went to a place where my friend Michele is the assistant director. They had an opening in the pre-k room. After an interview and 4 days of waiting, they offered me the job. I started this past Wednesday. I'll be the lead teacher in the pre-k room. in my new class, I have 3 (THREE!!!) sets of IDENTICAL twins, 2 autistic children and a handful of "problem" children (a.d.d., home issues, etc). I've come home totally drained each day so far. But I LOVE it!! I'm looking forward to learning all about the kids, learning their names (haha) and being their teacher. Next week is my official start. The girl who was in there before, is moving to MN. Her last day was today. So Monday I start officially being the lead teacher in the class!! Next week is "at the theater" and we're going to go see red grammar on Tuesday. I have no clue who red grammar is. lol. I'll have to do some research. Anyway, I'm very tired and need to go to bed. So that's what's new with me....Hope all is well!

cooooffffeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!

so i was looking at amanda's blog and she had this interesting thing about coffee, so i cliked on it


i'm presently awaiting my coffee arrival. click on my link to go check it out and

some pictures

i took these pictures a couple of days ago. and as soon as i get more unpacked and a nap in (hahah) i'll take more. so far i have my computer room and my "cat room" set up. i need to leave soon to go clean my old place and get rid of the keys (and check the mail) the flowers below were sent to me by my friend shelli. it's a ..um...dish garden? i think she called it...has 5 mini plants in dirt and then 5 water tubes with daisies in them (my fave!!!)
anyway, off to get more coffee!












P.S. in case you couldn't tell, the pictures are my new place. i know the old and the new look the same lol. same owner. this one is a 2 bedroom upper on the corner of the building. love it. very quiet!
