I have now been out of school a little over a year. On February 2nd I started a job as a long term substitute in kindergarten @ Sand Hill. Kindergarten of all things! I DID NOT think that I would be able to teach kindergarten. But, believe it or not, I turned out pretty darn good @ it.

This movie is about two snipers, one German, one Russian, that are battling it out - so to speak, during the battle of Stalingrad during WWII. I got to thinking that these must be some darn good snipers in order to be immortalized in a movie right? Then I got to thinking what am I good at? Am I good enough at any one thing that I can have a http://daisymaesthoughts.blogspot.com/2010/04/what-are-you-good-at.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Nicole)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3745133894857786817.post-921242199961553572Wed, 07 Apr 2010 03:59:00 +00002010-04-06T23:59:22.103-04:00 http://daisymaesthoughts.blogspot.com/2010/04/farm-animals-stockmar-park.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Nicole)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3745133894857786817.post-5266488741876226949Wed, 07 Apr 2010 03:49:00 +00002010-04-07T00:43:55.129-04:00Hello, I can't believe that it's been since Aug that I actually updated this blog. I really like my blog & I enjoy the idea of keeping some record of our adventures for the kids to read when the get older. But August...geesh! I really need to make some sort of monthly goal for updating "Daisy Mae's thoughts." There is really too much to give you a play by play of what's been happening so http://daisymaesthoughts.blogspot.com/2010/04/its-been-while-updates.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Nicole)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3745133894857786817.post-8093208054358699390Fri, 18 Dec 2009 05:20:00 +00002009-12-18T00:21:56.152-05:00Just wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmashttp://daisymaesthoughts.blogspot.com/2009/12/merry-christmas.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Nicole)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3745133894857786817.post-7477123447895349301Thu, 13 Aug 2009 14:51:00 +00002009-08-13T11:26:58.718-04:00Matthew's teacher wanted Matthew to bring in pictures of the raccoon. Then he decided to take pictures of things around the house that are important to him.

Very HOT. When I get hot, I get irritated & tired. Needless to say, I was both. The Youth decide that they want to GO BACK to the festival at night when the balloons are back. Great! (suppress an eye roll) This time D accompanies us. This time however, we decide to just meet @ the V-Plex instead of meeting @ the church first.

We were told that there would be hot air balloons, tethered balloon rides, mobile Braves, Hawks, Thrashers experience, etc. We arrive at the church around 0830 so we can eat & then drive to the V-Plex. We arrive at the V-Plex a little around 930A & it's already HOT.

We could bowl for $.97 cents per person + shoe rental. So we piled up in the car & went to the bowling alley. It's really awesome w/ lots of lanes; they even have dedicated Cosmic lanes. They also have an arcade, laser tag, & bumper cars. We got a great deal on lunch - the lunch menu was $50% offhttp://daisymaesthoughts.blogspot.com/2009/08/stars-n-strikes.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Nicole)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3745133894857786817.post-8725809608685523808Mon, 10 Aug 2009 14:10:00 +00002009-08-10T10:10:53.675-04:00  These are some of the antics Matthew provides me w/.

WHOO HOO! What a day. Not too shabby of an accomplishment.Now, there are no jobs....No jobs anywhere. I just found out that my last prospect has been filled & the lady doesn't even remember receiving my application. Which I HAND DELIVERED!

I am happy to announce that I convinced D to buy me a new pillow. I love this pillow! This morning, while lying in the bed,in the moments when you first start to wake up but aren't quite conscious, I decided what my pillow felt like. It feels like a beautiful sponge cloud....Sponge cloud, I love you.

This was the 145th anniversary of the battle. There were several actors dressed up in replica suits. It was pretty cool, all in all. There were also several flags that were displayed from both confederate on the left,and union troops on the right. I thought that I had taken more pictures of flags....but I didn't. We walked around the Blue Loop, http://daisymaesthoughts.blogspot.com/2009/05/picketts-mill.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Nicole)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3745133894857786817.post-1328941286646887996Sun, 31 May 2009 03:02:00 +00002009-06-14T23:34:01.617-04:00On May 2o, 21, & 22, E & M started having their award ceremonies. E won awards for being on the A/B honor all year, reading one million plus words, and participating in the Helen Ruffin Reading Bowl. This was the first time that a Carroll County School even placed in the bowl & they came in 3rd! Pretty Awesome huh? M won an award for running the most laps of any first grader.

Guess what? It came on yesterday & I told Ethan he needed to watch it b/c it is so good. You should have seen his little face when he clutched it during some of the more tense moments in this classic Alfred Hitchcock movie. He even thought Grace Kelly was pretty! We both enjoyed watching the movie.http://daisymaesthoughts.blogspot.com/2009/05/rear-window.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Nicole)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3745133894857786817.post-447384244160410324Mon, 18 May 2009 13:28:00 +00002009-05-18T09:32:13.649-04:00I changed the comments so that anyone can reply.
