Saving Hamilton's Obese Children!

Well it's not gonna happen (at least not for a while) After a much needed support group meeting (including me and Brian) i have decided tonotto submit my application for Graduate School (yet). When you have no desire to go back and furthur your education, does it make any sence at all? Well, none that I can think of. And to be Frank, frank who's frank, frank says that I don't really like teaching all that much anyway. I'm not the kind of teacher that my mom is. She is a great teacher and puts her heart and soul into her classroom and "her kids". I am the teacher who hits the doors to the parking lot running just as hard as the kids do at 3:15. I often times look at teaching and think how wonderful it would be working 7:30-3:30 weekends off, holidays off, summers off, kids who will listen to instruction and do as they are told, kids that are ready and willing to particiapte, but then I take my rose colored glasses (you know those big ones that mom used to wear in 1987) off, and I see: Kids who don't care about being in Physical Education, other Physical Education teachers that started teaching Physical Education because it was, well I hate to say it "P.E." or (let me not be struck dead by Dr. Hunt), "GYM". (aaaahhhhh, I can feel her eyes burning a whole through the back of my head) And I see the schools who have no budget for Physcial Education equipment, so you are forced to teach with broken and very dated equipment. No wonder the kids don't want to participate. Physical Education class can be fun, but you have to have teachers who care (and I dont' think I care that much right now) and Money to support your equipment needs. So................................







lets talk about my beautiful children now...........

First up:

BAILEY RAE aka baby rae (cameron's Alias for her) for some reason Hayden and Cameron are the only ones who call her by her first and middle name. (its actually very cute) anyway, Bailey is trying to crawl, she gets up on her hands and knees then she falls back down to her belly, actually when you think about it she looks like an inch worm. and she is starting to say "mamamamamama". and she loves her jumparoo. she jumps so much she makes me nausious watching her.


Nest up:
CAMERON is busy being 2....today I was down stairs vaccuuming and I stopped to check on him and Hayden (they were out in the back yard) Cameron was busy putting his lawnmower and himself in to the blue plastic pool, he was fully dresses, just enjoying standing in the water in his jeans that are to big and cover his feet, (mind you its like 67Degrees here) and then getting out and getting back in....


And finally:
HAYDEN has made friends at school!!!!!! he told me he likes playing cars with Jack and Mica (mhica?) whatever....He was so cute today, when we got there to pick him up, they were just finishing up and they were singing a song that had movements to it. I just enjoyed watching him (him not knowing I was watchin) he was so happy and it was obvious he was thourghly enjoying himself. Then he saw Cameron and he broke from the group to come and give Cameron a hug. I hope they are always that excited to see eachother!

I hated teaching. For me. I hated me teaching.

I do not hate teachers, or the teaching profession. For the record.

That is exactly how I feel...I guess I could have summed up my extremely long blog with 1 sentence...

It was much better with all the sentences though. Glad you made it back to Alexander this week. By the way, you've been tapped to participate in a meme (pronounced meem). It starts with you reading this post and then seeing what kind of fun you can have with it.
