The First Day of Kindergarten...from a Five year old

I have to post this...it's sooo cute! But I'm not totally objective! My friends will tell you that I have a very precocious 5 year old! He is on the go from the time he gets up until the time he falls asleep at night!
Anyway, he began kindergarten this past week...it was quite a day! Being a schoolteacher myself, I wanted everything to be perfect for him! However, as every parent knows, when you have children, the best made plans often go awry! The day went by in a blur...Not many can say that they get to spend their child's first day of kindergarten with them! I can, because I teach at the school that my children attend.
Try as I might, I wanted my son to be the shining star of the day! He, on the other hand, had his own set of ideas! Overall, the day was good. A few times he had to be reminded to follow the rules, be nice to his friends, and to calm down...boys will be boys, so they say!
At the end of the day, one of the teachers asked him how his first day of kindergarten had been. He replied, "Well...I didn't have to go to the principal's office!" Ha! Ha! Now isn't that what every parent wants to hear? I'd say that was a pretty good day! --lol HAVE A GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE! GOD BLESS! AND HAVE A GREAT START TO YOUR WORK WEEK!

Life as a single parent...

Hello, again!
Since I am just beginning this adventure of writing in a blog, I trust anyone reading this will be patient with the blunders of a newcomer! I'm sure there are plenty of other interesting blogs out there! I hope to become a better writer with the more posts I make!

What has happened this weekend? Well, I am at the end of a "mommy weekend", as I like to call them...I often wonder what other single parents do with their time while their children are at the other parent's house? This weekend I've simply "vegged out"...watched movies, spent time with my parents, read a good book, and played with my dogs. Not much for a country girl, huh? I really have to get out more! Told ya there was more interesting stuff out there to read!

Welcome!

Hello! Welcome to my new blog! Some say I am very opinionated. I hope you like what you read. Mostly, this blog will be opinions about current - i.e. education, faith, parenthood, daily life, etc...Some things will be serious, others funny I hope. Whatever my message, I hope it blesses you or speaks to you in some way! Thanks for taking a few minutes to check out my page!
