Here's to already missing a day of school. I have Bronchitis! No fun!

I noticed Thursday that I felt worse than I had all week and before the day was over I could barely talk and my breathing was getting worse. After another doctor's visit, a breathing treatment, and a chest x-ray, I was diagnosed with the B. No fun, I tell you!

I was miserable and knew that my mother would be home on Friday to take care of me, so off driving home I went. Best decision I've ever made? No! But... my family, and home was exactly what I needed to help me feel better.

I've been reading some teaching material, thinking about lesson plans for the following week and trying to mix a little fun into getting well. It's hard but doable.



So excited that we bought this book today. I love it already! Can't wait to see the movie with some friends from school! :)

Hope everyone is having a great weekend. Hopefully my week will be less exciting!



I'm loving these things.

Here we go, favorite link-up. 

{one}

I am sick with strep-like, cold, and chest symptoms. No fun for this 1st year teacher!

Makes for a long day when I can't even raise my voice to tell my kiddos what to do. This give me 5 classroom management plan is amazing. I'm loving it! Works wonders when you are sick.

I'm loving my apartment more and more everyday. Since I am able to have night time to get things organized and in their place it makes for a cozier home. I am still buying things to help me make it beautiful but in time... :)

{three}

I'm loving that in 2 days, I will be in HOME! Can't wait to see my family and eat some restaurants that I love! Can you guess which one? It's going to be some much needed rest and relaxation.

My mama is having an out-patient surgery tomorrow just to make sure that everything looks okay from some complications. If you can, please send up prayers for her. I greatly appreciate it!

Hope everyone is having a great week so far. Man, it feels like this week is going so slow but my days go by so fast! :)

Hotty Toddy, Baby!

Linking up with Lindsey and sharing about my Favorite FOOTBALL TEAM! :)

Way down South in Mississippi

There's a spot that ever calls

Where amongst the hills enfolded

Stand old Alma Mater's Halls

Where the trees lift high their branches

To the whispering Southern breeze

There Ole Miss is calling, calling

To our hearts fond memories

 I absolutely LOVE visiting the place that I like to call home. I have always been an Ole Miss, Hotty Totty yelling, Die-hard Ole Miss fan! Couldn't ask for a better feeling than the Grove, red and blue weekend, awesome jumbotron welcomes, and spending time with 62,000 of your best friends! 

Hoping for a great 2011 Football Season!

While searching for my Alma Mater found this video. Yeah, I almost made it in. The blue tassels, that was the School of Education! :)

Miscellany Monday.

Hey friends!

Let's get to the Random thoughts that are flowing through my brain.

{one}

I am NOT loving being sick, sore throat, stuffy nose already. I mean really! I've only been with those kiddos for 3 days and I am already sick. You suck, immune system! But.. after a shot and medicine today I am praying for a better night and week! :)

{two}

i'm loving that Walgreens sends you a text when your prescriptions are ready. Im such a technology lover.

{three}

I love being a teacher so far! It's a crazy whirlwind of a ride but I think it is such a rewarding career. I love getting those sweet, precious notes, getting called the wrong name of that previous teacher that they had, and the confidence that I am gaining everyday. I know that I've chosen the right career!

{four}

I love when I have more money in my bank account that I thought I had. It's such a nice feeling. I'm ready for the first payday. yes! It will be a good day.

{five}

I'm thankful for parents who would do anything in the world for me and love me enough to let me make my own choices. Praying for a sweet friend who is having trouble and coming to a realization that she hasn't had that trust in her life. Would you lift her up?

Happy Monday! Hope it wasn't too bad!

iPhone linkup. Just what I need.

I am so excited that Savanah decided to do this link-up. It makes me so excited when I take a good picture, instagram it, and it is saved to my computer roll. :)

Now, I know that makes me sound like a nerd, so be IT.

Just a few favorites from this week. Read here to see what's happened so far in my life this week. It's been an exciting week! :) My dreams and goal for the past 4 years of college came true and I actually was able to control and teach 24 1st graders.

An apple a day. Wish I would have listened.. now I have a sore throat and feel terrible. This is starting too early! 

Just a little road trip Friday afternoon. We saw some crazies but had fun walking down the pathway.

Love my door! Thanks to my assistant, Bethany, our door looks so cute! I love it. It's a work in process but it'll be perfect for my first one to conquer. :)


Loving this iPhone dump, per se. Can't wait to participate every week. 


I'm hitting the hay early tonight. Please pray that I feel better in the morning, I just can't be sick already. My kids are going to be raring to go in the morning and I need to feel my best.  
Happy Sunday-for Monday!

When it all began.

I'm a TEACHER!

It's going wonderful. 

Let's begin with Thursday. It was my first day with my firsties. I wasn't nervous at all which suprised me BIG TIME! I knew that I was exactly where God wanted me because of this and it made me totally at peace. :)

My kiddos knew exactly what to do when they got there and most sat down, listened, and I was a very surprised teacher! It went amazing for my 1st day and I couldn't wait to start the day and finish, just to say that I had done it. 

We made it okay during the day and a lot of rules were taught and plans for what would happen were shared. Lunch time has always been what I was nervous about but ours went off without a hitch. But.. I did have one student use the bathroom on them self and that was nerve wrecking but it was handled very well. Then.. one student got left behind but luckily was picked up only 20 minutes after school. :) 

I would say it's going to be wonderful. 

My kids were so sweet and I know that we are going to have a great year. 

I'm so tired and I can't wait to share some pictures with you! :)

Thank you all for your prayers. 

First Days.

Hey Friends!

I'm still alive.. barely. I have been so busy with In-Teacher Service and getting my room prepared that the blog has fell by the wayside. Promise I'll be back soon. :)

I had my FIRST open house tonight and I am so excited about what the year holds. My parents/students were so sweet and seem very helpful and excited about me being their teacher. I am stressed but honestly I am so excited that I can't be super nervous right now. I know that God has me in the right place and that he will help me get through these first weeks. I'm so excited so stay tuned to see how it goes.

My "firsties" come Thursday, so I am sure that there will be a blog post about my 1st day! :)

Hope you are having the times of your life. 

Just a few of my favorites right now. 

I love my door and my morning chart! :) 

Alumni Brick @ Ole Miss! So proud!
