Preschool Begins!

One of the hardest days for me is the first day of preschool. I am so shy to talk infront of people, even if it is people I know. This year I am doing two classes of 10 kids in each. This means there are 12 more moms to please then I had last year. I am always so scared that there will be a mother who will say " ya, that Miss Kristi is just not what I was expecting." I have no insecurities when it comes to teaching the children and the way my classroom works. But when it comes to the mothers I just want to make sure it is everything they want in a preschool. So I get really nervous to present to them my curriculum and game plan for the year. I truely hope all the children had a great time at preschool and that they will just love being a Super Kid or Super Star. I also hope there were no let down mothers yesterday or today. I really do enjoy teaching and I love being surrounded with little children. They have a way of reminding me what life is all about. I want to thank all the children who will be my students/friends this year. I am truely excited to share some fun memories this year together. So horray for me I made it past the hard part of preparing the room and supplies. Now let the fun begin!

Birthday

So birthdays are a really big thing around our house if you haven't guess already. Terry missed my real birthday so to make it up for me he dedicated this whole 3 day weekend to me and my birthday. He says that he is trying to teach the kids how to treat someone on their birthday. Man I know he does it just because he is trying to show me how special I am to him. Because he did this before we ever had kids. I could go on and on about all the stuff we did this weekend. But I will just say it was my weekend. Whatever I wanted I got it. Breakfast in bed, A day on the lake, Naptime to read a book, Playin rockband with the kids (even though they don't have all the points for it yet), My basement even got cleaned for my preschool, Drive in the mountains, I didn't have to do one dish all weekend or plan any meals. It was heaven lets just say. Then to top off the weekend from heaven Terry made me this darling cake. He is always striving to give me what I want. So here is the horse I have wanted since, well since I got married and had to give mine to my dad. Thanks Terry for just being you. I love you to pieces and back again. You are my life! The kids have caught on real good the point of birthdays. I can't tell you how many times Treg ran up to me and said "what do you want me to do mommy?" I would say something and he would smile REALLY BIG and say "Okay mommy because it is your birthday I love you." Then he would run off and do whatever I said because he wanted to make me feel special. Tia made me several bday cards and wrapped the gifts, she is so into the party thing. She helped make sure the house was ready and cake was made. Bowdee on the other hand is getting so big and grown up. He just spent the weekend playing with his bro and sis because he knows how that touches my heart. I can't tell you how lucky I am to be living this these special 4 people. Sometimes I don't feel like I deserve all the love they throw at me constantly and unconditionally. Wow talk about making me feel unworthy of such love.

More Birthday

So I just have to say that I do not always hate everyone I meet. Most of my dearest friends I met when I was very young and insecure, which I have to blame most of my misjudgements on. I do have a hard time trusting people and gaining new friends yes. That is just who I am. Something I do not like so much about myself. I wish I was more like my ex-visiting teacher Amy who loves everyone when she meets them and they love her instantly. Well I am not that way it takes some real work within me to let someone know who I really am. And then to trust them as a real friend is another big step for me. I work on this constantly and I know I am getting better at it. So if you have asked me how I felt when I met you...Let's just say-if you are asking, then I just Loved ya to pieces. So I guess I should not have let that cat out of the bag. Terry said it makes me look really bad. However, I don't feel like a blog is to make me look good. I feel like a blog is a journal of my life and I will write the things I want to remember. I want my children to learn that even though I didn't care for Christina at first I worked through my own issues and gave her so many chances that I finally couldn't bare to not be her friend. I hope that clears things up with my own little issues inside my little head. So my friend Tara took me to lunch the other day for my birthday. Which I have to say is one of my favorite part of my birthday. Getting to go out with all my friends and having good one on one talks. Tara and I were visit teaching companions way back when I first moved in the ward. I was intimidated by her because she is always so stinking cute and beautiful. And if you haven't noticed I am not so dolled up all the time. I am more of a "Whatever" kind of a girl. I didn't think our friendship would go beyond VT, because of our obvious to the eye differences. However, we got to know each other pretty good and I have to say I don't know what I would do without the Tara in my life. So thank you Tara for lunch and more then lunch, thank you for always being my backup. Your a great friend.
