The one with careers.

I blog a lot about dreams.
Not like, sleep dreams. Awake dreams.
I blog about my passions, my goals, my asperations and what I want in life. And most of you know that I am going to school for teaching.
If you didn't know that, you must be the one person who found my blog by mistake.
I want to be a teacher more than anything. Well. I say that. But what I really mean is, there has been no other career goals I have had.

However, lately I have considered some other career options. Please tell me what you think:
1. Stand up comedian
2. Actress
3. Traveling photographer
4. Author
5. Traveling "musician"
6. Model
7. Mime
8. Reality tv star
9. Traveling youth speaker
10. "Community" fan club president
11. Marketing agent for a band/famous person
12. Cheerleader
13. Dancer, but not in a gross way
14. A youtube star
15. Company owner
16. Inventor
17. Mad scientist
18. And a philospher

........or not.

I'll just stick with teaching. I really do love it. It's amazing. It's challenging. It makes want to be better. It's probably more difficult and more rewarding than any of those on the list.

Except maybe the mime. But I'm still perfecting my "stuck in a box" act.

The one where I'm socially awkward.

I never know how to act around people I just met. Or barley met. Or hardley know. Most of my close friends couldn't stand me the first time they met me. Yes, this includes the love of my life, a Mr. Elias Hernandez. But I guess it goes back to high school...... Insert flashback noise from Waynes World.....no? Moving on. I was a terrible person back in high school. I mean wow. Just awful. My mouth is what got the best of me. Either horrible rumors and gossip behind people back, or snarky sarcastic remarks in front if people I was MEAN! Whenever I met someone, I could not look past their faults. Anyone. If I saw someone I would automatically think of something I don't like about them. It was bad. Eventually I let God take care of me. By the end of senior year I had done some damage control and cut some fat from my friends. I ended up with only 3 friends at my high school. Yup 3. That's it. Love those three girls. You know who you are. So, in letting God get a hold of ...

The one with the really fun English teacher.

I've discussed the mom thing enough. You're probably like "Okay. We get it. You're bad at this. Move on." Will do! Let's discuss something I am relatively okay at: teaching. This is currently year 5 in the classroom for me. I've been at my current high school for 3 of those years teaching mostly 11th grade English, (every once in a while they like to throw in a sophomore or a senior group). I love this class. The age, the content, the behavior, the literature- everything. This is my sweet spot. I honestly have been sitting on this blog post for over 4 weeks now, in this exact spot. I have NO idea how I want to shape this blog or even begin to talk about my love for education. Management? Content? Students? English? Parents? Environment? Professional Development? There are literally so many things to talk about with education, that I've had the worst time narrowing down what it is I want to discuss in my first education themed blog. I w...

The one with sleep, whatever that is.

Parents. Remember your "exhaustion" prior to having kids? I miss that. I remember looking at parents around me and thinking, "Dang, they complain about being tired all the time. Can having a kid really be THAT taxing on a person?" Oh, how I wish I could take back those thoughts! And I just have the ONE kid. I can't even imagine more! Let me back up a little. Since week one, until about month 7, Leo has slept in bed with us. We, of course, did it as safely as recommended by doctors and such. I feel like I always need that caveat because y'all moms and non moms out there trip over the littlest details, I swear. We weren't planning on doing the co-sleeping thing, we just kind of fell into it. It worked with nursing, it helped me not worry too much about his breathing patterns, and it was really sweet to cuddle my sweet boy all night. For those wondering how Elias felt, he actually made the initial suggestion to do it, so there ya go. So it wor...
