A Whole New World

So, I finally decided to bite the bullet & start this blog! My friends & family have been telling me for about 3 years now to do it! just do it!…so, I finally did.  The main reason that they have pushed (read: nagged) me to start a blog is that I just can’t stop talking…talking about work, talking about our son, talking about my annoying co-workers and administration, talking about shopping, talking about vacation, talking about shopping, talking about tv, talking, talking, talking!  It’s always about the same topics they say…..start a blog; it will be therapeutic for you…..I know my husband won’t believe this, but I listened and here I am.

I guess I should be polite and introduce myself.  I am an early 30-something NYC teacher, wife, mommy, and much more.  I love to teach; I hate the educational policies set forth by the country and more specifically my administration. I also love to be a mom to my one toddler, and a wife to my half-loving, half annoying as hell husband.  I’m also a shopper, a reader, a cosmetic junkie, an animal lover, and an ardent supporter of animals and teachers.  Just not necessarily in that order.

My main goal here, seriously, is to talk about things that matter most to a lot of us — our kids.  And not just our biological ones — all the kids who inhabit our little corners of the world.  I have seen the power of education and how a good education, a really good one, will change a child’s life….and one day, our own too.  I love to talk to other educators.  They are so helpful. They are so supportive.  Most of the time they are, anyway.  I love to bounce ideas off of them, and to listen to what they feel works in their room. I love to support teachers that post projects to Donors Choose.

I leave you guys with this poll.  My friends and I have recently wondered about how some projects get funded so quickly and how some sort of hang there for a few months with no funding….so we hope you help us out!

I can’t wait to get this blog going….tally ho!
