 |
| Me in 3rd Grade - 1991 |
And here are the
questions Miss Tierraney had for me!
- What was the last picture you took
with your phone?
 |
| Ben's "turtle shell" |
 |
| When life gives ya lemons! |
The last picture on my phone is this hilarious picture of my son! It rained like crazy here
this weekend, so when we went to the grocery store, my daughter and I stayed in
the car while my husband and son went in. When they came back out, my
husband was pushing my son in the rain and Ben had his "turtle shell"
on!
- What is the best compliment you
have ever received?
Anytime I am ever complimented about my parenting skills - being
patient with my twins, loving, seeing how happy they are, etc. It makes
me beam to know that I am doing a great job as a mommy. While I wear MANY
hats, being a mommy is the most important thing to me!
- If you could only have one meal
for the rest of your life what would it be?
I am much like a 5 year old - I could live on cheese pizza!
My husband had to work the other night and my son said, "Yea!
It's pizza night!" I think that's a bad thing.....right??!
- What did you do to celebrate your
last birthday?
My sister rented us an awesome cabin in Broken Bow, OK. and her
family and mine went glamping.
- What youtube channel do you watch
the most?
I don't watch YouTube really, but I LOVE BoredShortsTV, KidSnippets.
Y'all, if you haven't ever seen it, it's SO hilarious. It is family
friendly so sometimes if we have 2 or 3 minutes to spare in class I will show
it to my students. I recommend this one first: KidSnippets, Math Class.
- Why do you blog?
I blog because I love talking about fun things I do in my
classroom and hope that others can either laugh or bring some of my ideas into
his or her own classroom!
- Who do you trust the most?
My husband and sister equally.
- What is/was the most challenging
part of working in education?
The most challenging part of education for me is letting my
never-ending to-do list go unfinished!
- What is your dream job?
My dream job in reality is to become a Math Curriculum
Coordinator. My pretend dream job is to be a world traveler reporting on
the most luxurious hotels and spas.
- What is your favorite thing to do
when you are not working?
That one is easy - hanging out with my family.
- Would you rather change the past
or be able to see into the future?
That is a tough one. Honestly, I am who I am because of and
in spite of my past, and I believe God has my life laid out just as it should
be, so there is no need to see into the future. I think I will just stay
right here in the present and take it all in.
My favorite
blog to read is Oh Boy! It’s Farley! I
love reading her blog because she is a Texas teacher, like I am. She also hosts a monthly linky party that I
LOVE called Currently. You can check out
a couple of my currently posts below.
I also
met her last year when I was in Las Vegas for the TPT conference and she was
very kind and introduced me to some other awesome Texas teachers. If you are looking for a hilarious woman, she’s
your gal!
Thank you for
reading my little ol’ blog. If you like,

If
you have been nominated for The Liebster Award AND YOU
CHOOSE TO ACCEPT IT, write a blog post about the Liebster award in
which you:
1. Thank the person who nominated you, and
post a link to their blog on your blog. Try to include a little promotion for
the person who nominated you. They will thank you for it and those who you
nominate will also help you out as well.
2. Display the award on your blog — by
including it in your post and/or displaying it using a “widget”
or a “gadget”.
(Note that the best way to do this is to save the image to your own computer
and then upload it to your blog post.) At the bottom of this post I’ve included a whole lot of images you
can use for your 2016 Liebster Award.
3. For the 2016 Liebster Award I will be
shaking things up! Write a 150-300 word post about your favourite blog that is
not your own. Explain why you like the blog, provide links.
4. Provide 10 random facts about yourself.
(This year I’m making this optional. If you wish to
engage with your readers it’s a great idea to
include random facts about you.)
6. Nominate 5 – 11 blogs that you feel
deserve the award, who have a less than 200 followers. (Note that you can
always ask the blog owner this since not all blogs display a widget that lets
the readers know this information!)
7. List these rules in your post (You can
copy and paste from here.) Once you have written and published it, you then have
to:
8. Inform the people/blogs that you
nominated that they have been nominated for the Liebster award and provide a
link for them to your post or mine if you don’t
have all the information so that they can learn about it (they might not have
ever heard of it!)
Don’t forget to create 11 questions for
them to answer. Notify your nominees and provide a link to your post so that
they’ll
know what to do. Once you’re done, come back here and comment with the link to your
post so I can check out your answers.
2. What is the first thing people notice about you?
3. Who is your favorite author?
4. How would your friends describe you?
5. What is the funniest thing that has happened to you in the classroom?
6. What brought you to teaching?
7. What makes you happiest?
8. What are you most grateful for?
9. Name something in your teacher bag you can't live without.
10. Who is your celebrity crush?
11. What is your special talent?
Congratulation on being chosen for the award! It’s so great that such talented and witty teachers are appreciated nowadays. In the light of today one can think that the teachers could be replaced by the virtual schools. But no virtual school can grant you the pleasure of being taught by a teacher who had a passion for it since the 3d grade. Anyway, I’m happy for you. I have read the answer you have given on the questions above and I can only wish I had such teacher when I was growing up. I wonder if you could advise me on something, perhaps websites to buy essay online for me to be sure of my success in further learning.
