Preschool Update

So I made it through a week. These children are precious! I have been told that I look like Mary Poppins. Hmm! Haven’t got that before?! Anyway, I love it even though I have dealt with countless tears and potty accidents. It has been so wonderful! They are a few in the class that just light me up and make my heart warm. One little boy came up to me and kissed me on the cheek.

Uhh, I LOVE IT! Did I mention that?

Anyway, this weekend will be an update on the garden!

Preschool

Today I began what was to be one of the most intimidating adventures ever. I have experienced preschool before and was utterly terrified! Okay may more frustrated. I cannot stand chaos...period! It seems like a distraction, no wait a disaster to learning. But somehow it seems to be everywhere. Classroom management has caused me to become OCD. I want to make sure that everything is perfect and that all the students are finding a way to learn. It doesn't have to be the same, just doing something productive.

I digress...

Anyway, I walked into the classroom and it was...BEAUTIFUL! Everyting had a spot and the students were so well behaved. Why? because of classroom management. 

The students are adorable to say the least and I have fallen in love with each of them. I will greatly miss my kindergartners, but this will keep my mind preoccupied so I'm not crying all day in how truly amazing those kinders were.

Well keep reading for more adventures in preschool, because I'm sure there will be more.

Did I mention I had to cleanup vomit today? Ahh..preschool...hooray?!

Moving

Yesterday we finished moving from our old apartment to where we will be living. In the meantime, we are at Steven's parents for the summer. It will be very exciting!! I can't wait!

The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus

So tonight I enjoyed a lovely evening watching The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus (TIDP). As the movie came to a close, my friends descibed the movie of having no plot. Sure to their credit the plot line was a bit disguised by the brilliant colors and daring effects. But I can't help but to think there is more. Perhaps the Devil is more than we have percieved him to be. He is more than just tricky but plays the game of winning and losing lives. The movie does seem to look at life as an object that can just easily be wasted and thrown to the gutter. I digress, the devil makes a deal with Dr. Parnassus for his daughter because the devil gave DP his wife and his youth back. The devil and DP's relationship began when the devil approached DP while he was a monk. DP explains to the devil that the world will always exist just as long as there is someone telling a story. The devil attempts to stop the storytelling; however DP realizes that there is still someone somewhere telling a story, it just doesn't have to be the story he is telling. Anywho, the idea seems to fall back on that life is unpredictable. No matter how much you anticipate and think your life will end the way you like, you forget to take into account that there are other people in your life that make footprints and can alter your life. You, can never hold the key to have your life planned because you cannot hold the key to anyones elses. Okay I may need to sleep on it and see what this comes to.


Let ya know soon.
