Creepy crawlies.

I love my job. I can't say that enough.

I'm terrified of bugs. Petrified. Completely irrational, I know, but it is what it is. anything creepy and crawly is not for me.

The air conditioning is not turned on in the building yet and for anyone who lives near me knows that it was very warm today. That being said, my windows were wide open allll day today from 7am on. Well apparently during the course of the day, several little critters came into my classroom. I was perfectly intent to let them stay right where they were (I mean hey, the bugs weren't bothering me at all); however, my kids wanted them gone. Well, of course I was not going to pick them up or even get near them. I had to go across the hall to get a student from my student teaching class whom I knew would save the day. She proceeded to come in and pick up the bugs to take them outside where none of us could hurt them.

Talk about courage. Sometimes I wish I were as fearless as an 8 year old.

Thank goodness for spring! :)

Here are some things on my wish list:

The whirlwind life...

Teaching is such a whirlwind, to say the least. It seems like I just graduated last week and here it is now, almost spring break. I cannot believe I've been in my own classroom for almost 2 full months now. Crazy.

I'm so thankful to have found a job already that I absolutely love. I get to wake up every morning and do what I'm passionate about. How did I get so blessed, seriously?

My dad and I were talking the other day about choices and be really said something that has stuck with me. Choices, whether good or bad, define your life. I was sitting down today talking with a good friend talking about this same thing. The only person that has control over your life and your happiness is ultimately you. Bad things happen. But it's your choice of your reaction to it that you control. Is it really worth sweating the small stuff? Is it really worth trying to force something that isn't meant to happen and choosing to get upset about it? At the end of the day, life is way too short to spend it uptight and irritated at things you have no control over. You can't go back and change the past and you can't change what other people do and how they act. I've been trying to keep this attitude up lately.





Hope everyone has had a great Monday!
