| 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!
