Do You Hear Crickets?

I sometimes feel like I do.

And then I get this

from a sweet follower, Carrie Dawley, and I think, ok Yay no crickets ;)

So if you wanna know a little more about me, read on ;)

Why did you start blogging?

I started blogging so that my parents would have peek into our classroom.

Now I blog to share with other teachers. I've gotten so much from other fabulous teachers and thought I would give some insight into a Dual Language classroom.

Have you always wanted to be a teacher?

Never considered it until I went to USC (fight on!) as a business major. We all had to volunteer hours, so I volunteered at a school. I loved it so much and after going back and forth, I changed my major, received my bachelors degree, teaching credential, and have loved being a teacher for the last 19 years, YAY!

What is your favorite non-teaching website?

Pioneer Woman

Kevin & Amanda

I love that they're so down to earth and so willing to share

Do you have pets, children, or both? How many?

My five kids are 22, 19, 17, 16, and 5, whew!

and our doggy, Sauza.

What goals do you have for the summer?

Rest, relaxation, and time with my family.
Also on the top on my list... scrapbooking, finally got my mojo back :)

What was the year, make, and model of your first car?

I still have my first new car, a 2000 Dodge Durango.
The window doesn't work, the AC doesn't work, and right now the battery is dead, just needs a little jump, but I'm still not ready to give it up.

Have you always taught the grade that you teach now?

I've taught Kinder, 1st, and 2nd. Love them all :)

What do you like to do when you aren't teaching/grading/lesson planning?

I love watching movies and scrapbooking.

Out of all the places that you might have lived, which is your favorite?

I would love to live closer to the beach.

What is your must-have accessory for your work outfits?

Comfy shoes :)

What has been your least favorite vacation destination? Why?

Desert areas, sorry, heat and I don't do so well together.

Thanks for reading!

Yahoo for Bloggy Awards :)

I really have to smile, I cannot believe how nice it is to get awards! Now I know how my kiddos feel :)

Thank You Tammy over at 1...2..3...Teach With Me, Jessica at Glitzy in 1st Grade and Chelsey at The Wild West for the Versatile Award:)

The rules for The VERSATILE AWARD are as follows:

1. Thank the blogger who nominated you - Thank you Tammy, Jessica and Chelsey!!!

2. Include a link to their site - Check!

3. Include the award image in your post - Done!

4. Give 7 random facts about yourself - Just scroll down :)

5. Nominate 15 other bloggers for the award - Scroll down a little further...

6. When nominating, include a link to their site - Complete!

7. Let other bloggers know they've been nominated - and done!

Okey dokey, so for 7 random facts.

Uno: I'm a mama to 5 really awesome kids! I know every mama thinks so, but I have absolutely been blessed with my kiddos ages 21 to 4 :)
Dos: I met my husband in 5th grade, went all through high school together, and were great pals. But it wasn't until we reconnected almost 8 years ago that we fell in love. Timing really is everything.
Tres: I never, ever considered being a teacher. I thank God USC required students to volunteer because I did just that, at an elementary school, and fell in love with teaching.
Cuatro: I love chocolate and bread, although not together...hmmm... or maybe...
Cinco: I love coffee! Everything goes well with coffee, especially cold pizza :)
Seis: I am obsessed with planners. I usually get 2-3 planners in January... and July, weird I know!
Siete: I'm an old school scrapbooker. I say old school because it seems everyone is digital these days. Speaking of old school, when did 80's music become old school? (say WHAAAAT?)

(Yes, I'm that far behind, but hey, I'm a mama, teacher, wife, and part time taxi driver).
