Moriyah has continued to wake up before 7am even though we have stayed up late the last couple nights. I think it was yesterday morning she flung the door open and proudly proclaimed, "Hey Guys!" My 6 am response was not as enthusiastic.
I think that if you stay up past your bedtime it should correlate into an equally, if not longer, sleeping in. Now, how to teach that to my children?

Wowza
Apparently I don't have time to blog while I teach! It has sure been forever since I have posted.
I am loving teaching the fourth grade. I had a bit of a rocky start as I learned to set up the community of my class and got to know the kids. I am truly enjoying teaching my class. It was music to my ears today when several kids commented that they wanted to stay and finish what we were working on rather than go home for the weekend! I was all for going home though.
The transition for our family to Portland and to new roles of working mom and stay at home dad has been much different than I thought it would be. We were gone from Portland longer than I realized and it wasn't that we could just pick up where we left off. Also I miss my big house with a big back yard. I am soooo spoiled by my husband. he takes the best care of me. It is the little things that he does, like buying me my favorite candy to take to work on Monday because I have to stay late for a staff meeting. Honestly who thought Monday after school was a good time for a staff meeting! The only worse time would probably be Friday.
Another amazing thing my husband just did for me: I just accidentally erased my whole blog post. while I initially thought of throwing the computer across the room, my husband just said hit control z. Guess what? It all came back! What a renaissance man.
I love Christmas. I love decorating, I love buying presents, I love turkey, I love ham, I love cold weather, I love Christmas break. 5 more teaching days! If I am lucky it could be less...LET IT SNOW!
