11 Random Facts About Myself
1. I hoard bags...purses, tote bags, any kind of bags. I can't get enough of them.
2. I am a serial returner of things (like bags). Either I have a lot of buyers remorse or just talk myself into buying things I don't really need!
3. I love chocolate.
4. I am almost always cold. *brrr*
5. I live on a farm with horses, cows, pigs, dogs, cats, and chickens. I love it.
6. Organizing is my thing. Except for the filing cabinets at school that have stuff in them from the 80's.
7. I like to sew and do other sorts of crafts.
8. I used to clog dance with my sister and it was so much fun!
9. Bubble baths are the BEST way to end any kind of day. Happy? Take a bath. Sad? Take a bath. Mad? Take a bath.
10. I went to high school with my husband and never spoke to him until my senior year of college!! This still blows my mind. We even had a class together!
11. I am an animal lover. Showing me a cute, furry little animal is the quickest way to derail my attention span!
My questions from Alison:
1) How long have you been teachin' and what is your absolute favorite grade to teach? (I know that's two questions, but they go together) 8 years and I liked 6th grade the best
2) If you had an opportunity to change one county, state, or national law about teachin', would you change anything? I would require students to take only Reading and Math SOLs (state tests) until 5th grade. At 5th grade Science and
Social Studies SOLS would be introduced.
3) Have you ever thought about teachin' abroad? If so, where? Before I met my husband I thought about joining the Peace Corp and going to Nepal to teach.
4) If you could go on a shoppin' spree for one day and buy anything you wanted(money would be no object), what would you buy? Organizational/home goods!!
5) What is your favorite "me time" activity to do? Reading
6) What is one food that you could eat every single day and not get sick of? Chocolate
7) What is your all time favorite children's book title and why should I read this book? Tuck Everlasting because there are so many deep questions about life in there....
8) What is one app or piece of technology that you could not live without? laptop
9) If you were in charge of your school for one day, what would you plan for that day? Business as usual. I like a normal routine...and I guess I'm boring! haha

People say that I am organized, but I STILL never feel that way...haha! I am the opposite of you - I am always HOT... my poor kiddos freeze in my room (they do bring sweaters throughout the year). I am not sure what I hoard... hmmm... have to really think about that one. I despise carrying a purse, so I don't collect them...LOL!
