The beginning of a whole new world...blogging!

Hi & welcome to my blog! I am a first grade teacher and would not want to be teaching any other grade; it truly is number one in my book!  I am so excited, nervous, proud that I have finally decided to join the blogging world.  Where do I begin?  Well, I guess like anything else...it's best to rewind all the way to the beginning; but which beginning?  There have been a lot of beginnings for me. I'm sure many of you can relate.

So which beginning? ugh, this is harder than I thought.  Since I'm a first grade teacher let's begin with...Once upon a time there was a girl (certainly not a princess-haha) that thought she wanted to be a lawyer so she went to college, majored in pre-law and was ready to head off to law school.  But before she would graduate, she fell in love.  I know what you're thinking; but no, there's no prince charming...for this gal it was the love of teaching!  Crazy, right?  I had been asked to tutor many of  the business classes that I was taking as electives and I caught the bug; I really enjoyed teaching!  The fact that I was also a stationary addict certainly didn't hurt either.  Just put me in an aisle with pens, post-it notes and folders and watch out...I can't contain myself.  Where was I?  Geez, just the mention of school supplies and I get excited and can't concentrate!

Fast forward ahead some fourteen years and my castle, home is now filled with my two teenage daughters, Kara and Marissa, my son Chad, my husband, my two furbaby Chihuahuas Oreo and Cocoa and the queen of the felines, aka my cat Sassy.

 I am looking forward to venturing into this amazing blogging world.  I have always loved following many of my fellow teacher bloggers and will certainly be looking to them for inspiration and guidance.  I'm not sure where this journey will take me but I'm thrilled at the possibilities.  So with that, I'll call it a night and make it official with my first post!  Nighty, Nighty:)
