Thankful Things

While I wait to put the turkey in, I am so thankful for many things in my life.

1. For being a mom and wife--I love being a mom. Even though they came to me from a different source. I am thankful that they were sent to me. Sometimes it is hard being a mom to these unique and special children. But I love them.
2. For my family--I love  mom, dad, brother, sis in law, and nephew. Even though they live in Arizona and come up once or twice a year. I love them and wished they lived closer.
3. For my church--I love the LDS church. It is who I am and what I follow. It is my way of life and I love living it.
4. For my health--Thankful that I have not had any problems besides my hearing.
5. For my job--I like that I can provide for my family and help other children succeed. I like that I can stand in front of students all day and move whenever I want. I like that I can be creative.
6. For my home--My little heaven on Earth. I like that I can be who I want here and relax. I like that I can shut away things of the world here.
7. For my pets--  I love my dogs! Anyone that knows me knows that I treat them like family. I am thankful that they bark when someone is at the door because sometimes I can't hear the the doorbell. I like that they keep me warm at night. I like that they come for love and comfort when I am feeling sad or need a hug.     
8. For my cars--Glad that they get us where we need to go.
9. For leaders in my church--Thankful for the inspirational words from their hearts to my heart.
10. For living here in Idaho--I love feeling safe!!! Thankful that Brayd and Lynd have a huge yard to play in. Thankful that they can play outside anytime even in the winter.
11. Friends--I am thankful for the friends that I have made along the way. I am thankful for the ones that I have made here in Idaho. They make me forget how lonely I am without my family even though holidays are little rough for me.

Busy week

Sorry no pictures. I have been so busy this week to a point where I am sure to have a nervous breakdown. First, I have a student teacher in my room over the next 10 weeks. I thought it would be a welcome relief to give her things to teach but I am more exhausted and it is tiring work. Then grades had to be put in and it was down over the Christmas break so I had a huge pile to get in. Parent teacher conferences were on Thursday. I didn't meet with alot. I met with most of my students'  parents. The one that I wanted to talk to of course didn't show. My own children are doing great in class. Brayden is started to read more and more each day. He is reading near the end of his grade level. Lyndee knows all of her alphabet and sounds. They finally let her check out a library book. Yippee! Sometimes I wish that they would treat Kindergarten with more rigor toward the middle of the year to get them ready for first. Just my opinion. My house is feeling very neglected and wil...

Day 5 -- Vacation

On Wednesday, our last day in the land of the heat. We went to the Mesa Southwest Museum. I guess it is call the Museum of Natural History. In all my years living in the valley and in Eagar, we never went to this museum. It rocked! I wished that I could take my students there. This room was all black with flourescent lighting. The kids could write on those white board with light wands. Whatever the kids wrote would be gone in about 20-30 seconds. It was pretty cool. I loved the interactive the stuff. I have been wanting to do this for years with my classroom. I have wanted them to create their plays. Then act them out in front of a green screen and then use a computer program to put their scenery in. I think I am going to find a grant and write one! Sister Lou loved being on T.V. We would couldn't drag this little starlet off it. Isn't this cute? They got behind the TV and now they are projected into an old western. They had a part of the old territorial prison in th...
