Breaking the Rules for a Good Reason!

I know, I know, I know....I already posted once today but I just got so excited when I saw that Mrs. Egley From Mrs. Egley's Kindergarten nominated me for the Versatile Blogger Award.  Thank you!   What a nice way to start the New Year!

So, the rules of the award are:
1.  Thank the person who nominated you with a link back to them.
2. Tell 7 things about yourself (see below)
3. Pass this on to 15 newly discovered blogs and let them know they've received an award!  (Well that part was easy because I am really new at this so every blog I follow is "newly discovered" to me!)

Here are my 15 nominations (it was hard to only pick 15!)


7 Things about me (this is the hard part....I like to share my teaching stuff but sharing about myself is weird for me....who would want to know about little old me??  But I am a rule follower so here I go...)
1.  Only 2 of my friends know I blog...not sure why I don't share that...maybe it's because it would be sharing part of me and, again, that's hard for me!
2.  I like Sci Fi (not Horror) but things like Ghost Whisperer and Once Upon a Time (I think it's a reality break for me)
3.  I teach Faith Formation (Sunday School) classes for kindergarten at my church
4.  I love, love, love to read (again...reality break)
5.  I started dating my hubby in high school.  He's my one and only!
6.  I have 2 beautiful daughters who like to fight and are becoming drama queens (will I survive the teenage years?  They are only 5 & 8!!)
7.  I wish I was more organized!

What a Day!

It was just one of THOSE days....sigh.   Here are a few highlights:

***First greeting of the day from a student:  Mrs. Rist, I threw up this morning but my mom said it was ok to go to school      HUH???

***report card testing:  students are supposed to be writing dictated letters   ME:  on line 1 please write a capital M      First student paper I look at as I'm walking around has the number 40 written down!! WHAT???

***Each teacher signs up for a month to bring potluck for all the teachers....my group of 9 decides to bring appetizers and desserts...yum, right?  Guess not because we had 5 people telling us there were complaints that "that is not a meal!"   SERIOUSLY???  It's free food!   Who complains about free food???

***DIBELS testing is over and my scores....sigh again.    I want to cry and shout YES...I AM TEACHING THIS YEAR!!

***I thought all day that today was Wednesday...nope...only Tuesday.....and yes I have get to teach all week!

But all is not lost!  When I opened up to my blog today I found this waiting for me:

Thank you Chrissy from First Grade Found Me for ending my day on a high note! 

The Liebster Blog Award goes to blogs that have less than 200 followers so let me pass it on to these sites that I love:
