A Fork in the Road

After teaching for 5 years in the Ga Lottery Pre-K program I have decided it is time to spread my wings. I graduated from Kennesaw State University in 2008 with my Bachelor's degree and began teaching the following school year. In 2010, I applied to Walden University to pursue my Master's degree in Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment. Unfortunately, I have not graduated. Shortly after I began my Master's program I found out I was pregnant with my 4th child, a GIRL, and I had a very hard time completing my thesis paper. My graduation date was set at the end of my pregnancy and I was overwhelmed. Looking back at my choice to not stress about the paper I regret it, but that is water under the bridge now. So here I am now, still teaching but my school that I am at lost its owner and the bank is running us now. Well the Pre-K program doesn't like that so who knows how long I will have a job...

Currently, I am applying to the county school system for a teaching job for the next school year. I am praying daily that I will be chosen for an interview and have the opportunity to show the Principal's how good I am! 

Have you ever had to make a choice to change your career and not know what to do? I would love to hear your thoughts! Thanks!

I am back!!!

Hello! I am back!!!! I have had a crazy few years and I was lost, but no worries I have found my way back to my creative side!!! Well since I have been gone my baby girl has been born and turned 1! She is the most amazing thing that has ever happened to me! I love my 3 boys but a daughter is so much more!

She was named after my GG Elizabeth Moorhead

 

Having 4 children is a lot of work! I am still teaching full time and have become a runner's mom. My oldest son, Alex, has decided he loves to run! This past fall he joined the Cherokee Junior Warriors Cross Country team and placed 2nd on his team for the season. Woot-Woot! One proud mom! Well it's Spring and he wants to go out for Track for Cherokee Junior Warriors. I'm really excited! I have to admit the time I spent with Alex at practice and races has built our relationship stronger. I look forward to our time together.

Now for the other two Monkey's in my life... they are growing up way too fast! Logan is in the 3rd grade and Aiden is 3yrs. old! The two of them are in the phase of 'I love you' to 'Get away from me'. Yep it's a lot of fun here! Either way they are great big brother's to their baby sister! Logan has taken a break from sports for a while and is focusing on school. He is making all A's!!! Aiden has become the tech savvy child using our Iphones, Ipads, and Kindle. I am really impressed by his ability to figure out these devices. He is preparing for Pre-K next year and I can't believe he is old enough!

We have even expanded our family! We adopted another kitten for Logan over this past Thanksgiving. Introducing Blue Steinbach!!!
