Taking a Deep Breath!

Before I begin this post let me say one thing first.

I. AM. NOT. COMPLAINING.

Okay. Now on to my post. I have been insanely busy these last couple of weeks with life in general. New job, booming side business, toddler, hubbie, revamping house...and on and on and on!

School is AWESOME!!! I can not begin to explain what a difference this experience has been so far. My kids are not perfect. My room is not perfect. My school is not perfect.

But...I have support...from my principal, parents, assistant, and everybody at my school. I had a situation today, that I had wanted to keep to myself, but these kids tug at my heart so hard its easy to tell if one has upset me. My principal came up to me to see what was wrong, pulled the child off the bus and straightened the situation out. (I think I have set the record for earliest paddling in that school!)

I have anything and everything I could ever need or want at my fingertips. It is fantastic! The children really aren't that different from the district I have previously taught in. But my environment now is such a positive, encouraging one for everybody in it! I'm so glad to be a part of it.

I do have to admit, I have very overwhelmed. So many changes in such a short time. But I am adjusting and I LOVE it! I'll have to post some pics of my kids and my room soon.

I am definitely having to remember what its like to juggle a "new" job, and being mommy and wife, but its slowly starting to come together.

Brody is loving walking. He is perfecting it every day. Therapy is going well. I thought he'd be taken out once he started walking but they are still working with him on anything gross motor related. Its amazing what a different person he is now that he has so much freedom.

Oopsie Daisie (my side buisness) is taking off! I have at least an order a week, which I was hoping for one a month! It really lets me get in touch with my creative side and is great therapy! We have converted our guest room into Brody's playroom and my painting space. I love it!!! I get to watch him play while I work without worrying about what he's getting into.

I hope to get back to posting a couple of times a week. Life just has to slow down a bit. I'm not really sure if I want it to, I'm really enjoying this new phase God has planned for me!
