Math Fun!

The unit in Math that we are teaching right now is Geometry. So we  went on an angle hunt the other day at school and this is what we found!:

An acute angle!

An obtuse angle on the clock 

An acute angle!

A found an acute angle!

And we found a 5th graders safety patrol belt too!

We also made angles with our bodies!:

It was a fun day in Math!

Weekend Fun!

Of course our weekend started out with our Friday night routine...heading out to get Mexican food! I think it's THE best way to start the weekend!

Saturday my sweet sis B came into town! She was spending the day with her best friend who goes to UGA. But I tagged along for lunch and some shopping! It was fun to spend time with them!

I also got Tucker's scrapbook! I'm excited about it...now I just need to find time to start it!

I also worked on things for the next two showers I'm throwing.

Today was wonderful too! Sunday School and church this morning. The Mr. and I grocery shopped together today and then headed to M and J's house! I emailed M earlier this week for her chili recipe. I've never in my ENTIRE life liked any chili until I had M's! It's amazing! So when I emailed her, she was like I'm making it for yall come over on Sunday! So we had a relaxing afternoon with the pups and ate some YUMMY chili! I also go to see their nursery for sweet baby M who due 5 weeks before Tucker!

I love weekends that have plans but nothing to stress over and I can still rest up for the next week!

What did you do this weekend?

Gender: BOY! Tucker John

Best Moment this week: Seeing our sweet boy for his 20 week appt! He's so cute! All good news from the doc about his measurements and such. He wouldn't move for the ultra sounds but we still got to see our sweet boy sleeping. He sleeps like me with his arm above his head. And the Mr. was trying to look at our eye structure to see which one he might look like! ha! We are excited to share the DVD with our family and friends! And we got to schedule our 3-D appt!

What I am looking forward to: Nursery fun, preparing for TJH and our next doc appt in the beginning of October! SO thankful for this wonderful experience!

Perspective

Just when I thought things were "bad" for me. God showed me otherwise. And not that he showed me that other people have it worse than me, but it gave me a lot of perspective on my situation.

I've been struggling with my job. But there are much bigger things going on in other peoples lives.

For example a sweet sorority sister of mine had her first baby two weeks ago and her son spent his first week of his life in the NICU. She did not get to even touch her son until he was 7 days old. He possibly could have some long term brain injuries but the big prayer is that his little developing brain will heal all of those injuries.

And my blog friend Amy, had a horrible thing happen to her this week. You can read her story on her blog.

My prayer is that I don't let the "bad" things in my life blind me from the other people in my life who have bad things going on.

I have A LOT to be thankful for. We go to see our sweet baby boy yesterday day afternoon. I pray that he continues to grow into a healthy smart boy. And that the rest of my pregnancy is successful.

It's so easy to get bogged down with the things that happen in our life that we aren't happy about, but truly God has a HUGE plan for us all. I sometimes struggle to see the whole picture, but I'm working on this. The Lord is so patient with me.

My last prayer for this post is that I will change my perspective...that more of my daily focus will be on others and that I won't get tangled up in my "bad" situations.

Happy...

I've come to the conclusion...and this isn't the first time...but I cannot make everyone happy.

I'm a very hard worker when it comes to my job. I put in 500% all the time. I get to work at 6am everyday and don't always get to leave when we are "allowed" to leave. I go above and beyond a lot for my students. But this year has just been down right hard. Like I've mentioned before I changed grades and I have a very ROUGH class. 12 of my 21 repeated Kindergarten. I do house the Special Ed, ESOL and EIP students in my room. I say all this not to complain but to give you a glimpse of what I'm working with this year. I feel defeated...I feel as though what I'm doing isn't working and not just academically. I absolutely love the grade level, and the students...but the struggles I have this year are far different than years prior. I like a challenge...but having support with the challenge is important.

I know things will be get better...but when?

In other news...aren't my pups so cute? They are so loyal and I always make them happy. :) And they always make me happy! (Well, maybe not when Ethel goes potty inside or runs out of the yard.)

I hope that I can make Tucker very happy. I don't want the stress of my job to interfere with his precious life. I remember friends whose parents jobs were so stressful and they took it out on their kids. I DO NOT want that to happen to us at all. I refuse to let my job mess up my family!

It's almost the weekend again...I live for the weekends. If that's what I have to do this school year then I will...but I don't want it like this forever. I want to skip into my job every morning like I used to....

SWW!

It's Wednesday!

Head over to Life After I Dew to link up!

So What If...

•  I realized this week that I HAVE to make time to do things I enjoy such as Zumba, blogging, using my Cricut and etc.
• I am counting down the days until I will be on maternity leave with my sweet baby boy...rough school year.
• I cannot wait to get a bail of hay, pumpkins and fall decor on my front porch.
• I my husband loves to watch Antique's Roadshow.
• I'm kind of over the bad achne I've had while pregnant.
• I think it's the COOLEST thing ever when I can see the outside of my tummy moves with Tucker is flipping around.
• I'm ready for a fire in our fireplace.
• I feel so much better when my nails are done professionally.
• 
  

   I love reading before I go to bed...I think it makes me sleep better.
