New Years Resolutions?
Do you have any? I always make them and never stick with them. Usually they have to do with losing weight or getting in shape. Let's pray that this year is the year it sticks! I have got to lose some weight!!! My brother is getting married in April and I would like to be at least 20lbs less by then. My first goal is to lose 31lbs which will put me at my pre-pregnancy weight.
So what are your resolutions?

You might be a teacher if...
HOW DO YOU KNOW YOU’RE A TEACHER? By Jeff Foxworthy
You get a secret thrill out of laminating things.
You can hear 25 voices behind you and know exactly which one belongs to the child out of line.
You walk into a store and hear the words, “It’s Ms./Mr. ____________ and know you have been spotted.
You have 25 people who accidentally call you Mom/Dad at one time or another.
You can eat a multi-course meal in under 25 minutes.
You’ve trained yourself to go to the bathroom at two distinct times of the day, lunch and planning period.
You start saving other people’s trash, because most likely, you can use that toilet paper tube or plastic butter tub for something in the classroom.
You believe the Teacher’s Lounge should be equipped with a margarita machine.
You want to slap the next person who says, “Must be nice to work 7 to 3 and have summers off”.
You believe chocolate is a food group.
You can tell if it’s a full moon without ever looking outside.
You believe that unspeakable evils will befall you if anyone says, “Boy, the kids are sure mellow today.”
You feel the urge to talk to strange children and correct their behavior when you are out in public.
You believe in aerial spraying of Ritalin.
You think caffeine should be available in intravenous form.
You spend more money on school stuff than you do on your own children.
You can’t pass the school supply aisle without getting at least 5 items!
You ask your friends to use their words and explain if the left hand turn he made was a “good choice” or “bad choice.”
You find true beauty in a can full of perfectly sharpened pencils.
You are secretly addicted to hand sanitizer.
You understand, instantaneously, why a child behaves in a certain way after meeting his/her parents.

Why??
Why??? That is the question that keeps ringing in my head today. Why did someone feel the need to take the life of others? Why did someone go in to a place where children should feel safe, and take their lives? Why should these families have to suffer at Christmas thanks to the cowardly act of someone else? WHY?
As I sat in my classroom reading the reports of this horrific shooting today I was thankful that my students were safe. I was thankful that my children were happily enjoying the Christmas festivities at their school. I was thankful that even though the students make me mad as fire some days, that they were safely enjoying movies and time with friends today.
So tonight I will hug my babies a little tighter and pray for the family and friends of the victims in CT. I will also pray for all students and employees of the school and the terror that they will never be able to forget.
