1st day of Substitute Teaching

Spring is in the air and it has made all of the kids go a little, um, CRAZY! Still having a great time though... and this Wed. I had the opportunity to fill in for the teacher. I had the class all day by myself, yep, all day. :) I came home excited and I knew, I really knew, being a teacher is where I want, need, will love, to be.

I also wanted to share a great search portal that is for students, educators and parents, really for anyone who wants to avoid inappropriate pop ups... (Great resources and ideas.)

It is midterm week and I have a research paper due in a month, so, posting may be even lighter... is that possible?! Spring break is also fast approaching and I can hardly wait, oh, that's right I have to work. Hannah's school and college have the same week off, however, work is the week after. Bummer!!! Oh well, I will get cracking on my paper. (Todd and I are planning on taking Hannah for a weekend get away, its a surprise for her.)

Happy Spring!!!

3 weeks and oh so tired!

Well another week has passed and I am just as excited as I was the first day... :) This weekend 4 of us went to a class on Autism and what we learned there was awesome. I am thinking ,and have thought, I really wanted to get in to Special Education. I know that this is the field where I would like to get my Master's and to teach. Working with these children is incredible and today proved it.

I am totally exhausted though, and with school midterms fast approaching, realizing just how much this can take out of you. :) I am still aiming for a 4.0 and knock on wood, it looks like that could happen... On the other side, this may sound awful in some sense, but it is the truth, working has brought something about in me. I love being a Mom and Wife and I do think that is the most important thing I could be, but this is just adding that much more to our world. The world is made up of all different types and how wonderful it is to be able to share that with Hannah.

Hannah gets to come to work with me (schools have different schedules) occasionally and she enjoys interacting with the students. She is learning more and more acceptance of others and everyones 'normal' is different.

Anyways, I could go on and on and on, but I am starting to ramble and we don't want that. :) We will post soon!
Love to you all and have a fabulous rest of the week!
