Could you leave it all behind?

New House, New Friends, New Job! A whole new life.



I have been watching the series INPLAINSIGHT and it has left me wondering if I was in this situation could I leave it all behind? Could I walk away from everything I know, everything I have and start over with my husband and kids.  Don't get me wrong, I hope I'm never in this situation but if I am... I'm thinking about what decision would I make.

Here's what I've come with after thinking about this for days. I easily could walk away.  I don't know why. I know that I'm very close to my family and I would miss them like crazy, but I have decided that I'm the type of person that I could start a new job, find a new house, a new identity and the only thing that I would look back for is to make sure no one that is trying to kill me is following.
I wonder, why doesn't it scare me to start over? I don't really know. 

Whatever the reason, I truly know that whenever faced with the challenge of moving on, or staying I  would pick moving on anytime of the day.  If I have my husband and kids I know I would be okay. And well the possessions I have accumulated, I realize I'm not all that attached to them.  My sisters, brother and parents are my best friends in the world, but if I needed to leave to keep them safe, well I would do it.

Would you?

My first pink Saturday

Well it took me a few days but I have made it to everyone pink Saturday posts. It was tons of fun and everyone had such great Pink I there. And pink Saturday was so much fun, I'm going to join green and blue day as well.happy blogging everyone.

My ISN for Early Childhood Ideas

An ISN is an individual student notebook.  It is a place where you can organize notes, information and any other handouts you want the students to have and look back on.  They are great for students organization and to teach them how to reference information, particularly in math where everything spirals so much.  I have created this one for chants, lessons and creative ideas I learn about to help next year in my pre-school classroom.

The Mailbox.com has fantastic ideas

Classroom Display: birthdays

Spotlight youngsters' birthdays with this cute display. Attach cutouts of a simple bowl and a hot-air popcorn popper to a bulletin board. Give each child a white popcorn cutout. Have each child sponge-paint his cutout yellow to make it appear as if it's been buttered. When the paint is dry, write each child's name and birthdate on his cutout. Mount the popcorn on the board; then add the title shown. What an eye-popping display!

Bootcamp

The planning begins for my new job. It started with an awesome boot camp on a variety of topics for early childhood teachers.  I really enjoyed myself, particularly the new people I met. I got great ideas, on Dialogic reading and continual progress monitoring.  While there I heard a story that reminded me of the importance of never using my personal cell phone for work projects. That poor assistant who accidentally sent naked photos of her husband to a teacher, thinking they were photos of students.  And if the great ideas weren't enough, I enjoyed a fabulous lunch with banana cheesecake.

My First Pink Saturday

I am really excited I have just joined Pink Saturday.  So, here is my first post. Thanks, Beverly for doing this.

My husband and I ate at red lobster and these are their sugar packets. I thought it was perfect for my first post.  The coconut shrimp was awesome.

How Sweet the Sound

It's Official

This will be my new place to walk through my first year of teaching preschool. I can't wait but I can imagine some funny stories throughout the year that will need to be shared. On here,  I will update my progress, ideas on new ideas I learn and of course the mishaps that happen along the way.  Happy coloring, songs and other.
