Home routines--try again

I am determined to keep up the household chores while WOTH! This is the new checklist I'm trying out that I found here on this blog life as a mom. I am also encouraging hubby to initial the things he did on the checklist. He does a lot around the house. It is not keeping score but rather seeing what needs to be done yet.

Tell me more (a linky party)

I am joining up with Mrs. Lemon's Linky Party Tell me more! I am excited to join because I am a big fan of Mrs. Lemon's and want to get to know more 2nd grade bloggers. Which leads me to my first tid-bit. 1. I have taught Kindergarten for 10 years and I am nervous about beginning a new year at a new school in second grade! 2. I turned 35 on my last birthday. 3. My children (ages 4 and 9) are guinea pigs to my teaching ideas. 4. My four favorite vacations were Hawaii, New York City and Panama City Beach, Florida and Western Nebraska. 5.

So we have A LOT of hair at our house and about a year ago I decided it would be a good idea to grow out my hair to see how long I could go before I couldn't stand it anymore. It is a year and a half later and I had/have lice. Nice experiment huh? So my daughter's Kindergarten teacher is a good friend of mine and the day after Thanksgiving break came the e-mails. "What a day, I've sent 2 home with lice and another 2 told me that they spent Thanksgiving break bagging up toys and shampooing with special shampoo." and then "5th one just went home." I raced home at 5:00 to discover that my kinder had a head full and guess who slept in a hotel bed with her over Thanksgiving? Yes me!! Time to freak out. Please don't do this.
