"Epic Fail," as one of my third graders would say. Yep, that sums up my second try at blogging. So here we go for a third try...and they say that the third times a charm, right?
I think my OBGYN summed it up right this past week when she said that when we become mothers, we often put ourselves on the back burner. I agree. I define myself as a mother, wife, and teacher. They're my roles in life, and I love each one dearly. I never define myself as just "me".
So what's been going on with me since September?
Well for my mother wide--My little one just turned 18 months...she a spit fire. Her daddy's mini-me with her momma's spirit. ;) She's into, no, exploring everything. She's full of giggles and wiggles and even a tantrum or two. :)
Wife-- I love being a wife. I love my husband. I love seeing my husband as a father. We've worked really hard on many aspects of our relationship. We've learned that a marriage doesn't just happen, it takes hard work and dedication with a side of never giving up. :)
Teacher-- My class is still chatty, but they are an awesome group. The past month has been hard because we've been out with snow days and such which really puts a hurting on routines. They may be a loud group, but they are an easy to engage group. They just love to chat about what we are doing! :)
And just me-- I've read more in the past 6-7 months than I've gotten to in years. I also still love photography and have gotten the chance to do two photo shoots for friends, one for a 6 month old and one for a couple's Christmas photos. It's been a blast, and I wish I could do even more! :) I love seeing life through a lens.
