You ever have one of those days where you are just totally out of it? Yeah...that would be today. I have a bit of a cold, it's really not that bad, but MAN! I think the meds I took just threw me for a loop today. It probably doesn't help that I woke up 20 times last night either because I was freezing or because I was snotty. You know the drill, snuffy sinuses, sore throat, tender ears. I've been fighting it since Wednesday, and right now I really feel like I'm losing the battle. I can't think straight, I keep mis-hearing things or not hearing them at all, my sentences don't make sense. I could call in and/or go to Urgicare, but I really don't want to. Maybe if I'm still yucky in the morning, I'll go in.
On another note...Sissy is coming tonight! A certain Big Man has been talking about seeing her all week. Since Monday is a holiday (for the kids & the hubs, mind you, not me), we decided to fly her down because we won't get to have her for Easter break this year (damn military...)
We've got a super busy weekend planned ahead...can't wait to see her!

The First
Right...so...I pretty much have no idea what I'm doing. I've wanted to start a blog for a long time but never thought I had anything useful to say. I still don't...really. BUT...I figure I can give it a shot and see how it goes. Whatever.
So...what you need to know about me...
Well...I'm a Mom. I have a 4 1/2 year old son and a 15 1/2 year old not-daughter. (Not-daughter? you ask, right...because we don't use "Step"-- too many bad connotations). My kids are pretty much my everything. Many people can't understand that not-parents can and do love their not-children "just as much" as their bio-kids. Here's how I look at it...do you love all of your kids? Yes. Do you love all of them the exact same? No. Everyone loves their kids different. Me too.
I'm a teacher. I've been teaching for 7 years and I love it. I have taught 6th grade, 8th grade and High School. I'm a Social Studies teacher by degree, but am working on getting certified in Language Arts and in Special Education. I also have my certification in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL). I didn't grow up wanting to be a teacher, but I love it and I've been told that I'm pretty good at it...so...
I'm a wife. Last? Yes. But not least. I have an amazing husband who spoils me rotten. He's also been known to drive me absolutely crazy. He's funny, smart, super hot and an amazing Dad. Unlike most women, I had the privilege of watching my husband be a Dad before we got married...and I knew that I wanted him to be the father of my kids. He's finishing up his military career teaching classes here in Texas and all over the world. He's also working on his Masters degree in Instructional Design. Did I mention that he's smart?
So...what's this all about? Well...Us, really. I'll probably talk about cooking, crafting, lesson planning, family "Stay"cations and road trips, military life, trying to live frugally, ... At this point...if it has to do with us...it's fair game.
