Happy Birthday to me!

Wow! 31 years have flown by and I am now 32.  I am thinking it will be a good year. You get better with age, right? I think when a person approaches a birthday they tend to think of a bunch of ways how they need to change. Tim McGraw's song My next 30 years paints a great picture here. My plan is to keep doing what I am doing. You love life and learn lesson along the way and if I just keep doing what I am doing then what lessons will be learned? I believe this birthday has been the best yet. Friday I celebrated with my kids by going to the movies and ice cream. Saturday I celebrated with my brother and cousins by going out to dinner and today was me day. I slept in and stayed in my PJ's most of the day. I say most of the day because it was interrupted when Erin started to complain about her ear. It was PJ's one minute Drs. office the next. Ear infection and a prescription 4 hours later. Unfortunatley, the pharmacy was not able to fill it and we have to wait until tomorrow. I pray she gets through the night without pain. I loved how a 4 year old  Bump in the road and we are going to keep moving. Back at home my husband made dinner and had a surprise ice cream cake hiding in the freezer.All in all it was a great weekend. I have not filled you in on the best part.......MICHAELS!!! They had a huge store wide clearance with Cricut cartridges for $9.99. I got 2! Deal of the century! I also got a Gypsy for my birthday so figuring that thing out as claimed a huge piece of my weekend celebration. So far I am loving it. I am ready to tuck myself into bed and start my last week of vacation before  my college classes begin again. That's a whole new adventure you are about to filled in on in the future.

Something New

Happy New Year!
I am new to this whole blog thing but I figured, "Hey, why not try this out?" So here's a little about me. I am Mommy to 3 kids. Ethan is 6, Erin is 4 and Aiden is 1. There will be more to come on these 3. I work full time as a Kindergarten teacher. Teaching is my love in life. There is nothing more rewarding then teaching a child and watching the light bulb go off when they understand something they didn't before. Sure it's not the big money making career but it's what makes me happy in life. I am back in school part-time. Last semester was one of the hardest for me thus far. It included Statistics. If you knew me then you would know that math is not my thing. I have feared it the most in my life. I worked hard and by the grace of God I passed that class with a B. That B felt like the biggest reward academically for me. That accomplishment probably doesn't mean much for any of you reading this but for me it was HUGE. The benefits of being a teacher are that you get a lot of holiday breaks. You would think these breaks would give me some spare time but think again. I have my own craft room which I love. That is where I lock myself in and get some ME time. I love making cards and others crafty things. I only wish there was more time to actually spend in there but as you could probably guess from the blog title my life is rather busy. You'll see : ) Till next time!
