About Me

I stole this from Rachel's blog. It's always interesting to see what other people put, but also interesting to see what you come up with about yourself.



I am: a wife, a dog mom, a reader, a teacher

I want: to become a better writer and to homeschool my (future) children

I dislike: No Child Left Behind and the direction public schools are headed

I miss: teaching social studies and science

I fear: a world where civilians can't have guns

I feel: sad for kids with parents that won't make time for them

I hear: dogs playing

I smell: garlic that we used in tonight's dinner.

I crave: Harry Potter. I need a fix every so often.

I cry: easily.

I usually: think there is nothing worth watching on TV

I search: for ways to relax and de-stress

I wonder: what it would be like to live in a different time in history

I regret: not saving books I read as a kid

I love: the rain

I care: about my family and my dogs

I always: procrastinate by doing anything but what I should be doing

I worry: about too many little things

I am not: good at anything that involves throwing, hitting or kicking a ball

I believe: parents need to ask more questions about public school practices

I sing: in the car when no one else can hear me

I don't always: clean the house enough

I argue: in my head with public school policies

I write: stories about experiences from my own life

I win: when I dance

I lose: papers at work all the time, but I usually find them or my students find them :)

I wish: Eddie had weekends off

I listen: to music in order to fall asleep

I can usually be found: tapping my feet or jumping around the house at random times

I am scared: of heights and my dogs running away

I forget: names of people and places when my brain is full

I am happy: when I don't have to worry about staying caught up at work

Wow. This was harder than I thought.
