Rambling.

Tantrums. Kicking seats. Pretending to leave. Star Charts. Angry. Sadness. Happy dances. Tears. Hitting head against wall, couch, floor. Dog pee on floor.  Winds. Frustration. Surprises. Leaving checkbook at home while trying to buy groceries. Sadness again. Scout banquet. Tiredness. Exhaustion. Piano lesson. Piano practice. Dog doo accident on floor. Bedtimes. Baths. Tantrums. Giggles. Family time. More Giggles. Hugs. Prayers.

Today, I sit with my family at Cafe Rio before seeing my only favorite Dr. Seuss book/movie: The Lorax.  Brayden has green hair from yesterday's crazy hair. Lyndee has one pink spot still visible.  Lyndee giggles. Brayden shares chicken nachos with his dad. I share my burrito with Clayton. Lyndee eats her own chicken taco and chips.  Lyndee just refills her own drink by herself. She is not going to need me any more soon. These days are going by. Brayden sips his drink more. He and I are struggling right now and all we are doing is butting heads. But...now...as we enjoy our lunch....we are happy. This is bliss. What matters is that they are happy!  Lyndee giggles more. Accepting who they are, who Lyndee is and who she is going to to become.

Today I read this link: http://katiewetherbee.wordpress.com/2012/02/06/joy-or-just-wait/

I love my kids and my husband. I love my little family. Just wishing that they would stay little just a little bit longer.

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...
