I'm alive!
Hi LiveJournal. It's been a while. I'm a bit too lazy to check how long it's been, but I'm assuming it's been several months. Lorelai is now 17 days away from her 1st day of 2nd grade. This is insanity to me on so many levels. She's awesomely smart, yet lazy (as witnessed by both me and her teacher). Hopefully this will leave her system soon. However, I'm afraid it may just be a lovely piece to the puzzle that is Lorelai. She'll do amazing work if hounded, but if she's not hounded, don't expect much.
Here's an awesome example. So I show up to school and find this on the wall. AMAZINGLY proud of my muffin. It's well written and omg I can actually read every word and letter. She's obviously put a lot of time into it and *gasp* proofread.
The quotations make me happy. So this conversation ensued.
Me: So Lorelai, your hallway story is AMAZING. It's so well thought out and neat. How come all of your work isn't like that?
Lorelai: Meh. It's not going in the hallway, so I don't care as much.
Really child? Really? Awesome.
She's still totally loving dance. She even got a vocal solo with a headset mic. OMG. Talk about your proud momma. I'll try and upload it to YouTube if I can remember my account info.
Me? I'm still working on finding a classroom for next school year. It's frustrating because I've learned so much in the past years as an associate teacher and substitute. I really want a chance to show everyone what I can do now. Gotta keep on plugging on. I had a moment of doubt, and went to look into other career options. The second I left the place I started crying hysterically at the thought of not being in a classroom again. So, there's my answer. I want to be a teacher. I'll deal with all of the craziness that comes with it, because I truly love what I do.
Okay. Here are a few random pics I pulled off of Facebook for your amusement. :)
