Praises of a Wife and Mommy

"Have a Holly Jolly Christmas"   This was another Pintrest find!  Thanks so much to Pink Peppermint Design for this great freebie!  I love when I can find an affordable gift to give students!  They all were excited to get the Jolly Ranchers and I didn't break the bank!  

About a week ago I posted about using some yogurt covered raisins as manipulative's for counting.  On that post Mom of 2 Posh lil Divas  commented on the post and mentioned making a counting book with stickers or bingo doters.  Well I loved the idea so we did both.  :)  Selah is starting to recognize her numbers!  :)  YAY!  She is doing well with counting but she wants to keep on counting without stopping when we are talking about a certain number.   Making these two books was fun but good practice and now we can reuse them to practice our counting over and over and number recognition until she has it mastered.  :)    I let her place the numbers anywhere but I think I might make a set of numbers using the touch point placement.  :)   I like touch point math.  :)  I learned it in 2nd grade and sometimes I still picture where the dots are.   On to stickers.   What are you doi...

As mentioned I had an interview at 8am today for a CD teacher position at my favorite school in the area.  I think the interview went well!  It is hard to know at this point if I got the job.  I know they said a decision will be made early next week.  I hate doing the waiting game. I was nervous for this interview and I am not sure why.  I guess I have completely handed this over to God and am trusting him with it.  I sure had the enemy attacking me though with lies early this morning. I woke up to feed lil man at about 4am and I had a bad tummy ache and hot flashes.  I immediately started thinking maybe I am not suppose to go on this interview, but then realized that illness is not from God and started praying and started to feel a little better.  At 6am I woke up to use the bathroom and the ache was back.  I started thinking in my head how I would call and ask to reschedule because I was ill, but I decided that I would not do that either....
