SOL #3: What job is more important?

Today on the way to basketball, Drew asked a really good question. Whose job is more important? Mine or my husbands. I am a language arts coach and my husband is an electrical maintenance technician(short for, works on the power lines to help restore electricity). This took some thinking on my part. 
Most jobs serve a purpose. Right? A teacher is a necessity. Helping students is an EXTREMELY important job...a thankless job. However, during storms an electrical technician is essential. It's important to have power. We take it for granted. We need people like my husband to go up on the wires during storms to restore power. 
Before arriving to the game Drew exclaimed, "Mom, both jobs are equal because they serve two purposes." And I agree!

SOL #17: Vacation

I´m super, duper excited!! I just booked a flight down south for my family. I love last minute vacations, especially after the unexpected late winter we´ve been having. I can´t wait to surprise my family in the morning. I´m looking forward to the beautiful weather and a break from the day to day hecticness. This will be a time to kick my feet up and enjoy the beach and pool. I look forward to reading a favorite book or two and having time to breathe, slow down, enjoy life and my family!

SOL #16: A little leprechaun

When you think of a leprechaun, what image do you get in your head?  For whatever reason, I think of a little mischievous fellow. Greedily searching for a pot of gold, the leprechaun tries to outsmart anyone in his path.  Saint Patrick's Day hasn't always been one of my favorite holidays, although my three children look forward to it each year. Well...they are Irish! Every year the leprechaun leaves his mark in our house. He has left our toilet water green, golden chocolate coins behind and he has even left gold glitter around the house. Do you have a leprechaun that visits your house each year?
