I <i><b>really </b></i>love this time of the year! My mom and I wrote all about the holidays and traditions <a href="http://www.askaparentorteacher.com/archives/148">over here.</a></div>

This year the day before Thanksgiving we had a pie making party at my parents' house.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
My nephews were there, my mom and dad helped, then one brother and sister-in-law came over. I make 2 pumpkin pies and my first ever pecan pie. I need a little more practice making pie crusts, but overall it was a success! I think that next year I'll try to make a strawberry rhubarb pie (Tanner's favorite).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We spend Thanksgiving over at my great aunt Pam's house. It seems that after eating, we always tend to get a little crazy. This year it was a three person tower.</div>

The Sunday or Monday after Thanksgiving we get together to make gingerbread houses. This is probably my favorite holiday tradition. </div>

A few weeks ago I went to a boutique. I saw a lot of cute things and left feeling crafty! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I painted this little sign to make my desk area feel more christmas-y.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I also saw some cute headbands at the botique. I felt like I could make them for a lot less than they were selling for. They have wire inside, so they bend and shape to your head. I feel like I have a hard time wearing headbands because they always seem to fit weird of slip off. These are perfect! I made a couple and really like them.</div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">First, I resigned as a teacher at Emerson Elementary where I have taught second grade for the last 4 years! I don't know what I am going to do yet! I'm open to suggestions actually :) I was ready for a change. I thought I'd have a child by now and be able to be a stay at home mom. Sadly, Tanner and I have struggled with infertility and that hasn't happened. It looks like it will take time and lots of money. Each year I renewed my contract just waiting to get pregnant. I felt like I was teaching because I didn't have a reason not to. My heart wasn't in it as much as it should be. It was also getting difficult to be around other people's kids all day long. It was a constant reminder of the kids I couldn't have. Due to those factors and a few others I decided to make a change. After much discussion, prayer, tears, and thought I felt like it was time to make a change, so I decided not to return next year. I have mixed feelings, but look forward for the next adventure. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I sold my car Stella. This was my first big purchase on my own and it felt strange seeing her go. She was broken and it wasn't worth the money to fix her up.</span></div>

Buying groceries, setting the air at whatever temperature I want, having my own space, creating memories with my husband.<br />
<br />
...ice cream. And treats. A little too much probably.<br />
<br />
...feeling productive.<br />
<br />
...spending time with my family. Honestly, my best friends are my family. <br />
<br />
...having money to spend. <br />
<br />
...being crafty.<br />
<br />
...gardening.<br />
<br />
...working with the youth at church. <br />
<br />
...clean sheets.<br />
<br />
...taking long hot showers and not having to worry about a long line of people after me being upset that the hot water is gone.<br />
<br />
...reading.<br />
<br />
...being silly.<br />
<br />
...thinking about a hopeful future.<br />
<br />
...traveling.<br />
<br />
...vacations.<br />
<br />
...my pet ferrets: Roger, Benny, and Mo<br />
<br />
I don't like:<br />
<br />
...being too cold or too hot.<br />
<br />
...struggling with infertility.<br />
<br />
...dirty dishes.<br />
<br />
...drama or people who are unkind.<br />
<br />
...having to make decisions.<br />
<br />
...having bad breath (so i am going to brush my teeth right now!)<br />

We started out with 2 sucker fish, two blue &orange fish, an orange fish, and a black &white striped fish.<br />
<br />
The blue and orange fish didn't last long. One died after about a week and the other went 3 days later. I scooped out the fish that died last Thursday and was going to go flush it down the toilet while the kids were at recess. I scooped the dead guy into a cup and... Forgot about him. Friday, Saturday, Sunday. They all went by as the dead, forgotten fish sat in that little cup I the counter. When I got to school Monday morning my classroom smelled REALLY bad. Turns out decaying fish smell foul. I always figured they would, but know I know without a doubt that they do. Nasty!<br />
<br />
Well with those two fish dead that just left our tank with two sucker fish (who hide most of the time and are pretty boring), an orange fish, and the striped black and white fish. The orange fish is a bit bigger than the striped fish. <br />
<br />
I imagine that life as a fish can get pretty dull. The orange fish chases the striped fish from time to time and I thought that was fun. It came up in a class conversation. One student stated that they noticed the chasing. The next kid commented that the orange fish was being really mean to the striped fish. The third kid agreed and suggested that we kill the orange fish. She is such a sweet kid and she said it so casually that it really threw me off. Shockingly, lots of the other kids thought that was a sensible solution. <br />
<br />
Kill the fish?! Just because he's chasing the other one?! A little rash, right?... And strange that a room of 7 and 8 year olds thought that was a good idea.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-437856253600366743.post-29909454783196363782013-03-21T21:12:00.000-07:002013-03-21T21:12:06.180-07:00The Power of WordsI have a newish student. He is clever, reads well, loves to talk, and enjoys attention. In addition to that he is manipulative, has a hard time following directions, and frequently does the opposite of what he's asked.<br />
<br />
Today, within the first 3 hours of the day he managed to make poor enough choices that he ended up in the principal's office and had to spend the remainder of the day in another room. As the final bell rang, he walked into my classroom to return the work he had done. He had his head down, didn't want to look at me, and looked angry and sad. He tried to sneak out without looking at me or saying anything. I stopped him, put my hand on his shoulder, looked him in the eyes and said "You are a good kid." He had a strange look on his face and I repeated myself. He was looking at me so intently and then his face transformed. He got a HUGE smile on his face as he left. <br />
<br />
It was simple. It was just a few words. It didn't take long for me to say. But to him it changed his whole mood. As I think about his reaction, I realize that he doesn't hear those kinds of words often enough. He is really good at stirring up trouble and seeking negative attention, so I think he is used to being chastised and receiving negative attention. It made sad to think that those may have been the kindest words he has heard in a while. (And maybe he has heard them recently, I just don't think he gets that enough). Making that tiny difference in his life, that made my day.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-437856253600366743.post-62787509780738128482013-03-08T18:15:00.002-08:002013-03-08T18:15:27.834-08:00Future meI often think about the future. I have been asking myself a lot lately what I want to do and be.<br />Here's what I have come up with: (I realize it's not proper to end with a preposition, but 1} I don't want to fix that and 2} it just doesn't sound right to me)<br />
<br />
<br />* Mom. The kind that raises kids who know they are loved, can make good choices, and are kind to others.<br />
<br />
<br />* Gardner. I would be delighted if I could grow most of the produce we ate. I love the idea of being more self sufficient.<br />
<br />
<br />* Crafty. I want to feel comfortable with tools/saws/drills/etc. I would love to whip up a hutch or ottoman. I would also love to repaint/make over furniture.<br />
<br />
<br />* Artist. I recently started playing around with watercolors. The biggest problem is that I want to be <i>really good</i> <b>right now</b>. I don't want to have to put in the time. Lazy, I know.<br />
<br />
<br />* Well rounded. I'd like to know a bit about enough things that I could relate to or connect with anyone.<br />
<br />
<br />* Fit. This is kind of like being an artist; I want to be amazing, but I don't want to put in the time. I'd love to enjoy running. I would love to be able to say that I have run a marathon. Yet I don't want to have to experience any discomfort or exert myself. (I should probably add 'motivated' or 'dedicated' to this list...)<br />
<br />
<br />* Happy. Seems easy enough, but that can be really tricky. It's really easy for me to focus on the unjust depressing or sad things that come my way.<br />
<br />
<br />* Rich. Honestly, I know I would make a superb rich person.<br />
<br />
* Fun. I feel like I'm not as fun or crazy as I used to be. I don't know how much of that is due to age, and how much is because of other factors.<br />
<br />
<br />It is so easy to fall into the monotonous routine of life. I go day to day. I go to work, come home, eat dinner, watch Netflix, think about the productive things I could or should be doing, spend time on my church calling, occasionally go to the gym, go to bed, repeat. And then when I am not content I wonder what I should change. I guess I need to start working on the things on my list. But first I think I am going to take a little nap.<br />

About a month ago I sat down and spent 2 hours writing an amazing post with detailed stories of my trip to Hawaii. I finished it up, went to post it, and it disappeared. That made me so mad that I almost divorced my blog... but I didn't...and now here I am. Although blogger deleted all my hard work and writing it did save the pictures I had uploaded [in a weird order] and the first 3 sentences to a draft. So that's what I'll be posting along with a lits of what I did on my trip to Maui. </div>

</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: large; line-height: 16px;">A couple nights ago--after a warning light appeared on my dashboard--in the dark of the night, with a flashlight, I went out to check the oil in my car and is was LOW LOW LOW. I asked my husband to pick up some oil on his way home and put it in. He obligingly did so. (Over the summer my car basically ran out of oil and I was paranoid that it had happened again.) Much to my pleasure the oil he added caused the 'Maint Req" light on my dashboard to turn off. I thought I was finally starting to gain a little mechanical knowledge.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large; line-height: 16px;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large; line-height: 16px;">Well... I took my car in for an oil change after work today. That puddle that I just KNEW was oil in my driveway... fluid I was SURE was oil... Was actually transmission fluid... That plus the fact that I misread the oil stick (I don't even know what <b>that</b> thing is called. Why did I think I knew <i>anything</i> about cars?) made for a car with TOO MUCH oil. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large; line-height: 16px;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large; line-height: 16px;">Too much oil + broken transmission + mechanics looking at me like I didn't know a thing + <b>not</b> my consent = me feeling inferior.</span></span><br />

Arden talk about using time wisely</a> and hearing the bishop in my ward talk about staying busy with good things I have been thinking about what I spend my time on.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">To say that I have been <i>slacking</i> when it comes to exercising would be a gross understatement... I did <i>okay</i> over the summer, but when I went back to work when school started I had less time. I kept thinking that after I got in a good routine and settled into this school year I'd have more time. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Guess what... That never happened! In fact the opposite happened--I got a fairly time intensive calling and had less time than before. Yet despite that I still managed time to watch TV. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
I have decided that I need to cut out most of my TV watching. This past week I have watched substantially less than I am used to. This week is October break and I thought this would be the perfect time to start down the road to being fit again. 3 weeks ago I started doing yoga with <a href="http://hazardousundertakings.blogspot.com/">a friend </a>but that was only once a week. Yesterday I power walked to my brother's house (He lives 2 miles from me) and today I rode to my parents' house and back (14 miles). Last night I also decided to stop eating deep fried foods and sweets until Thanksgiving. I'll need a slice of pumpkin pie on Thanksgiving. Time to get healthy!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">And you know what? I feel pretty great!</span>Lindseyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08641371310162036171noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-437856253600366743.post-72702848459245964112011-10-09T21:18:00.000-07:002011-10-09T21:18:49.828-07:00AZ beauty<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> I watched this a couple days ago on a <a href="http://picsoandrea.blogspot.com/">friend's blog.</a> I didn't think too much of it at the time, but it keeps sneaking back into my mind.

<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">On Saturday Tanner came home with these little guys. They're only about 3 weeks old and less than 3 inches long. They've been fun to have around. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">We're still trying to decide what to name them. Suggestions?</span></div>Lindseyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08641371310162036171noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-437856253600366743.post-60173724886081669522011-08-03T11:53:00.000-07:002011-08-03T11:53:00.128-07:00greatest accomplishment ever!<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">To say that it's hard to surprise my husband is an understatement. He takes great pride in this. I on the other hand <i>hate </i>it. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
He can always guess what gifts are, what I'm thinking, where I am taking him. Last Christmas I got him a keyboard and had it shipped to my parents' house. He saw it under their tree twice before Christmas and I am quite certain he knew what it was. I told him that if he guessed what it was (and was right) that I was going to send it back... </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">In the 4 years we've been together (minus last week) I think that only time I managed to surprise him was with the engraving on the inside of his wedding ring.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">That being said... Tanner's birthday was last week. He turned the big 2-5. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">We had been meaning to re-roof our house and decided to start it last weekend (take off Friday and start putting on Saturday). Tanner's birthday fell on that Friday. Tanner isn't much for birthdays: actually he doesn't care for his at ALL. I have been trying to change that...</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">About a week and a half before his birthday I decided that a surprise party was in order. Considering his feelings about birthdays and how difficult it is to surprise him I was a little anxious. We got up early to start taking the roof off. I met him for lunch at Rigatoni's. It was a pretty regular, boring birthday. After work his dad and brother came over again to do a little more on the roof. I went and borrowed my dad's truck to go get some shingles and tar paper from Home Depot. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">The party was scheduled for 8:00 at the swimming pool. I know that if I just asked him to go swimming he would resist. So I got <a href="http://karlieandbryceburnham.blogspot.com/">my brother</a> in on the plan. He called Tanner and said that they were over swimming with my parents and wanted to give him a present before they headed home (they live a good 25 minutes from us). My brother asked if Tanner was available to stop by to get the gift. He said he could do that. When he talked to me about it I told him I had my dad's truck with me and it would be great if we could swap cars back at the same time. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">I ran into trouble at Home Depot (that story to follow in another post) and 8:00 came and went. We were behind schedule and Tanner was just going to go to the pool to get his 'present' from my brother without me. I convinced him that I would be home very shortly from the store and would like to go with him to return my dad's truck. We got to the pool around 8:30. We pulled into the parking lot and there were cars everywhere (apparently there was an event going on [the pool shares a parking lot with a church building]) That actually turned out to be a great thing because he didn't recognize any cars.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">I had texted my mom on the way over to the pool so she could get everyone ready for the surprise. We walked in and everyone jumped out and yelled "SURPRISE!" At first Tanner just looked around confused. Then he saw all my family, his family, and friends and it sunk in. <i>He was actually surprised! </i>It was a miracle. He was surprised!!!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i> </i></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">We didn't get pictured of the actual surprise part. In fact, I didn't even have my camera. I did, however, get a few poor quality pictures on my phone:</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">My brother, Tanner's sister, and Tanner's brother are in the class with us as well and it has been a LOT of fun! We go to class Monday evenings and then we get to go to one 'open studio' a week for free. A couple weeks ago I ran into <a href="http://hazardousundertakings.blogspot.com/">a friend</a> at open studio.

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">We headed back to the cabin and napped (because we obviously hadn't slept enough the night before) and relaxed all afternoon. My dad came and got us around six that night and flew back home.

We did EVERYTHING together. We went on adventures, we were crazy, we had SO much fun! (and I found out later we were pretty closed off to the idea of letting anyone else in... I think we were just so content that that thought never crossed our minds. But that's beside the point.) </span><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Well, last night the 4 of us got together for dinner. We caught up on each others lives, got caught up on other people's lives, and reminisced. We even went on a small adventure. It was a lot of fun.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">It also reminded me of how unsocial I am these days. And I feel like I should want to change that..</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I probably need to set some better goals or something. I have been trying to develop my artistic skills, but I just want to be amazing. Without having to practice. Of course.<br />
<br />
I would love to do some projects around the house, but my ambitions are larger than my funds. Another one of life's ironies I guess.<br />
<br />
How am I going to solve this? How am I going to shake this feeling? I'll probably go to bed without washing my face or taking out my contacts...Lindseyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08641371310162036171noreply@blogger.com7
