Well, while the rest of the country braces for a snow storm of apocalyptic proportions, we here in the deep South are getting rain and wind.
Could someone please send some snow (no ice, thankyouverymuch) our way?
My daughter is hoping that this round of wind will be the round that will bring our neighbor's dead tree down. The dead tree that is on the fence line. We've not gotten a privacy fence thinking sure as we got one then it would fall.
She's hoping for a new trampoline out of the deal.
Apparently, though, the tree has some kind of root system.
In other totally random news, I am going to be teaching again, at least for a while.
After having been a stay at home executive for the past 12 years.
Nervous? Me? Totally.
I'll be teaching Pre-K at the Classical School that Gracen is attending. Fortunately (for the children, probably), it is only 2 mornings a week. My degree was in Child Development and I thoroughly enjoyed the teaching I did before we had Gracen. Teaching her was a joy too once I finally realized that it was ok (and even much more enjoyable) if I relaxed a bit and realized that even a quality education will have some holes. We wanted her to love learning and she does. I loved learning with her.
Teaching Pre K classically is very different from my college training—I think it is much better! And, much better suited to the way children learn.
Well, I wish that I had thought to put something in the crock pot for dinner but... It is now 5:00 p.m.--the “wonder what's for dinner” hour. Oh, how I wish someone would teach me a) how to get out of the rut we are with meals and b) how to do it on a better budget!
Have a good evening!

I too think I would be a better teacher now that I've homeschooled than I was when I was just out of college and in the school system. Even when I started teaching, I felt that college did NOT prepare me for teaching. Lucky little ones you will have (somehow that came out in a Yoda sentence structure - can you tell we have a 10 year old who adores her father and all things he loves!) Anyway, these little ones will be able to reap the benefits of all the things you've learned along the way.
Sorry, no help on the supper issue. Maybe it helps to know that you aren't in the rut alone?
