How I met my hubby- A Linky Party

I love a good linky party so I just HAD to join in the fun.  Buzzing with Ms. B  is hosting a Valentine Linky Party on how you met your hunny.  I am also a little late on this but still jumping on this bandwagon.


So hubby and I met in college (look at us sporting our alumni gear), at a bar.  I know, how cliche is that?    He gave me some cheesy line, "What's a pretty girl like you dancing alone?" and I feel for it hook line and sinker.  I thought he was being jerky like all the other  college boys I'd met so far (sophomore trolling the bars for freshman meat).  I told him he was a pretty mama's boy, he told me he would never marry a Catholic girl.  We were totally teasing each other and just having fun.  At the end of the night he walked me to my dorm (not unusual), kissed me (not unusual--oh dear now I look easy), and then he asked me on a date........What?!  THAT was unusual.  Where was the "so what bar are you going to next week", or "what is your phone number", with no intention of calling? I thought to myself, this guy is different than I was used to. I respected him right then and there and the rest is history.  

Of course when our kids ask, we say we met at the library.

6 weeks of grace!

Here we go. 20th year! 10th year in 2nd grade! Where has the time gone?! Today I want to talk about what I have learned in the last few years (crazy journey we've been on huh?) It is.... Give yourself grace the first 6 weeks of school! I no longer start the first week of school with the mindset that I'm gonna get up early and workout, come home do a load of laundry, cook a healthy meal etc. etc. NOW I tell myself you may not workout for 6 weeks and it's OK, laundry may pile up (I warn my family), I'm not gonna cook much (I warn my family-actually they know by now). I may let myself stay later at school, maybe even a weekend BUT THEN after 6 weeks are up I implement the rest of it back in my life. This is the best advice I can give to young teacher families.  What have you learned about home/work balance?? 

The teacher has lice :/

You itched your head just reading that didn't you??  Lice does not discriminate.  Anyone can get it.  Even me. 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.  It doesn't help whatsover and it will be OK, I promise.   If you are reading this because you have li
