To say this little girl likes books wouldn't be telling the truth. She LOVES books. She loves to look at the pictures, hear the words, answer and ask questions, and "read" certain words. She'll even read Brown Bear, Brown Bear What Do You See (I know it's memorized, but she's proud when I ask her to read it to me). I know how important it is to encourage little ones to read and research shows children who are read to are most likely to become good readers themselves. I just hope that's the case for this little one. Thursday, March 25, 2010

Little Miss Flower Girl
On Saturday we went shopping for a flower girl dress for my brother's wedding in July. Oh joy! Here are a few pictures from that day.
Eating a rice crispie bar after the first tantrum. 
Trying to twirl with an attitude.
And that's how she felt about the whole situation. Good luck getting her down the aisle!

6 Down!
This is what I've learned in the past 6 months:
1. I am strong.
2. I am a good mother.
3. I can juggle parenting (both mother and father), a job that requires time outside of 8-4, grocery shopping, paying bills, housework, and taking care of dogs all the while keeping my sanity.
4. I NEED my husband to help me with all but one of those from above.
5. People don't always mean it when they say they'll be there for you.
6. Some people come out and let you know they care for you and are praying for you and truly mean it.
7. My love for my husband can grow.
8. We are lucky to live in a nation that is free. We get to choose our occupations, go to school, etc.
9. I am extremely thankful for all military men and women who defend our country.
10. I can do anything with God's help!

Why?
Why do I find it so hard to spend money on myself? Yes I purchase clothes on a regular basis, but I'm a teacher, my clothes often get stained or ruined or shrink because I wash them so often. Plus, clothes are a necessity. Anyways, I made a purchase. This was a want, not a need. A purchase that I'd normally NEVER spend that kind of money on one. But, for once, I feel I deserve it and that's how I'm justifying it. What is it?... You'll have to wait until it arrives...

February
Well, February sure flew by. I'm definitely not complaining. I know I should never wish time away, but I'm really looking forward to September. I'm looking forward for all of this weight to be lifted off my shoulders and shared with my teammate.
So often I hear, "I don't know how you do it" or "I couldn't do what you're doing." Believe me, I wouldn't wish this stress on my worst enemy, but anyone can do it. You just have to set your mind to it and do it.
Into March we go! 3 more weeks and we're on our way downhill!
