Shared Spaces

 When you date someone, and someone who lives in your area you often have to share spaces.  Today after school (it was pajama day) I needed to make a quick grocery run for ice cream sandwiches (I promised Noah they would be waiting when he got home from school) before picking Micah up from school .  As I circled the parking lot I saw what I thought was a familiar face.  I took a second glance and it was confirmed.  I then thought to myself do we really need those ice cream sandwiches?  I then reminded myself that this too is my grocery store.  I circled around and parked my car and headed in.  I wanted to quickly get in and out as I had high school pickup calling my name.  I headed straight for the frozen department and wanted to check out ASAP.  As I rounded the corner of self checkout there was that familiar face.  I thought for a moment that I should just go to another check out but then again my store too.  I checked out and as I exited the checkout out area, he was standing right there in front of me.  There in front of him was his ex-wife.  What had I just walked into?  

I then followed the duo out and walked to my car,  they walking to their cars. I then realized parked across from me and head-on there was that familiar face.  Id's say a quick eye contact was made, I put my car in reverse and left the spot.  I guess this is how it's going to be.  

I just can't make this stuff up! #mylife

Putting in the HARD Work

 My son Josiah is an excellent soccer player.  He started playing at a very early age.  He practiced and practiced until he started to see the results he wanted.  This wasn't where his hard work would stop.  He knew as did I as his mother he would have to continue to put in the hard work day in and day out if he wanted to make the team of his choice as well as be competitive with the other boys.   When he first started he was shy and wasn't willing to take many risks.  The more time he spend on the field he realized that he had to put himself out there and try new things.  Just when he would think he's at the top there are always better players and better teams.  The hard work never really stops.  I'm so proud of the young man and soccer play he has become.  This leads me to a phrase many have heard me say.  Any relationship and especially a good one it takes a lot of HARD work. What does that mean? Shouldn't the right rel...

The Night Before the Last Day of PreK

 Tomorrow I will wrap up another year teaching PreK.  9 months ago I met my tiny new best friends.  At first I mourned the loss of my previous class but eventually they grew on me and I fell in love with each of them.   The end of the school year (for those who love what they do) is like a really terrible break up.  This week has been full of emotion, some personal but a lot of sadness about what's coming to an end.  I'm not going to say that this year has been smooth or easy.  There have been many challenges. If you think about the amount of time I spend with these children each day it's a lot.  I spend almost 5 hours each day 4 days a week with theses kiddos.   There have been tears (from them and myself). When they walked through my door 9 months ago many of them were quiet, scared and unfamiliar with me.  I was able to earn their trust, and show them that I was more than just their teacher.  I loved them and was comple...

Seriously...

This weekend I made reservations to celebrate a good friends birthday.  It's always hard in the month of December to do anything besides the "Holidays".  But, I wanted to make sure the day didn't pass without her feeling special.  To make the day extra special she invited a few other friends and their children.   We finally got settled in and I noticed this guy, he had noticed our table too.  I kept racking my brain trying to figure out how I knew him.  I playing over my students dads, my boys friends dads, other dads at school, my social circle but I kept coming up short.  I finally said something to my friend and she said, Oh he's on the dating apps.  (One of the first things I often do is check fingers for rings to eliminate that as a possibility...he had a ring).  I said but, he has a ring.  She said, exactly.  This is what were dealing with.  The man was clearly out with family and extended family but is spending his ...
