Life is about letting God lead. Life is about stepping out and being brave with what life throws at me . I treasure being a mumma and love spending time with my 2 daughters and son-in-law. As of January 7, 2012 I am the proud Nana of the cutest baby girl Cuddle Bug in the world. Also If you want to have therapy everyday, you need a black lab, my Madison is the BEST!! Her happy face and tail complete my day! Here are fond, and NOT so fond musings of my days…I always have something to say….whether it is about my precocious daughters or my day in an elementary school! Being a teacher is the love of my life. Sometimes it is very stressful…so forgive me if I unload my stress on here. Don’t feel that you have to read it….I just need to say it! Of course these opinions, musings, rants and reflections do not express the opinion of my employer. Nor are my posts meant to offend, nor mislead but rather provide a snapshot of my mind at a certain point in time on a topic. These are my opinions and while I stand behind them right now they may change so while you are at it, don’t hold that against me either.
