Lessons from Marriage, Teaching, and being a Residency Wife. Wednesday, March 7, 2012. Check out how professional I am! I'm so excited to be journeying into the wide world of professional teacher-authors! You can find so many great resources without spending a ton of money. many items are even free! My thought about it had been, "God love ya, teacher-authors on TpT - who the heck has time to make stuff that's cute enough to sell to other people? It was so cool! Check out my "store"! I'm super professiona...

Lessons from Marriage, Teaching, and being a Residency Wife. Thursday, November 17, 2011. The reason I'm telling you about the negative end to the day is to put into perspective one valuable, meaningful moment I had with a student today. This boy in my class is a freakin' darling. He is bright, polite, kind to others, careful in his work. And if you're a teacher you know how rare that is! And all I could think was, I'd be a basket case too, kid. Um, hi. Can I please. Take some of my own medicine? School ...

Lessons from Marriage, Teaching, and being a Residency Wife. Sunday, July 22, 2012. So part of my new taking-great-care-of-myself plan is not eating crap. Well, not as much crap. Over the past few weeks, I've slowly started mentally preparing myself for this change. Because for me, not eating crap is a big change from the way I've been eating for the past while. (And frankly, for my entire childhood, despite the concerted efforts of my mom.). I say attempting because here's the thing: I don't really diet...

Lessons from Marriage, Teaching, and being a Residency Wife. Saturday, October 8, 2011. Once I got home from planning, I actually did housework. My kitchen is actually clean. And fit for cooking food. I have loved so much being out of town/having family and friends in town the past few weekends, but it's taken its toll. I'm not good at getting ahead during the school week, so I've been operating in last-minute-emergency-wing-it mode for a while. Have a great weekend and WHO DAT! Links to this post. Besid...

Lessons from Marriage, Teaching, and being a Residency Wife. Sunday, December 18, 2011. So I feel like my blog is usually just me rambling and/or b*tching about whatever I feel like. and I've decided it's time I actually show you something I've done in my classroom. I apparently neglected to realize that this project only works on watercolor paper. Unfortunately several teammates did the project with so-so results using cardstock and drawing paper. (Sorry, guys!

Lessons from Marriage, Teaching, and being a Residency Wife. Sunday, January 1, 2012. The first semester ended as it has for me in the past: classroom holiday celebration including treats, presents for me, and parent volunteers asking me, "How do you do this all day every day? Side note: one mom even told me she'd "probably have to be drunk all the time" to handle my class five days a week. Vindication? Aide from last year (hi, friend! It's been a much-needed break. I'm ok with it. 1 Take care of myself.

Lessons from Marriage, Teaching, and being a Residency Wife. Sunday, February 12, 2012. He Came, He Saw, They Asked. Friday was something of a rough day, following a particularly rough week. Not getting into it, but it's the starting point for my story. I was checking facebook on my phone during my. 12 minutes of freedom. Yup Hubs coming up from the parking lot, flowers in hand, to visit me at school. That's right. I suck as a wife. What is your favorite color? Why do all kids. Links to this post. He Cam...

Lessons from Marriage, Teaching, and being a Residency Wife. Sunday, November 20, 2011. We teachers tend to obsess. I, however, am also a procrastinator. I am in complete awe of my colleagues who can plan weeks ahead of time, or who get everything done for the following week BEFORE Friday afternoon so they don't have to do anything that weekend. I think I've done that once. It was awesome, but not awesome enough for me to manage to ever do it again. 2 Football season. I am a crazed New Orleans Saints...

Lessons from Marriage, Teaching, and being a Residency Wife. Saturday, January 28, 2012. This morning I had an amazing opportunity. A local nonprofit, Crayons2Calculators. Operates a warehouse and invites teachers from Durham public schools to "shop" for free! This weekend, 4 or 5 schools were included on the list. Everything in the warehouse was labeled with "points," and you had 100 to shop with. Ain't nobody nowhere who likes free stuff more than teachers. Binder clips, markers. all for free. My FAVOR...
