TREADMILLS


So, I have a question. I have been thinking about buying a treadmill. It has been a battle within myself because I don't know if it is worth it. I can always run outside, but sometimes I just don't want to run another hill. And then I was looking them up the other day and they range in price so drastically I couldn't make a decision. What do you think? Are they worth it? What maker would you suggest and at what price range? Do you think the more expensive ones are really that much better? Let me know what you think.

I'm a little jealous!

I have to say that I am a little jealous. I have been looking at the blogs posted by my family. You all have kids! I realize I have 45 of my own, but they leave at the end of the day. Not that that is always a bad thing, but I wouldn't mind taking a few home for myself. I do have some pretty cute ones! So with this jealously, I have to say... congradulations to all of my family that have the cutest little ones at home! You are a success!

A New Year!

Some people measure their years starting in January. I am not one of them. My year starts at the end of August and ends at the end of May. June to August is just my own personal recess. To put it simply it is my play time. But that time is over. My year has begun. I am teaching two new kindergarten classes. I have a total of 45 students. And they have a lot of energy. My students this year are so different this year than last, but at the same time they are the same. I do enjoy comparing and contrasting this years collection of students with last years. So, after over 3 weeks of school I have seen plenty of similarities and differences.

Along with that, my students from last year drop by my classroom or see me in the halls frequently. Both them and myself are so excited to see each other. I love it when they give me hugs or just want me to see them and say hello. With how difficult the new year can be with kindergarten, that definately brightens my day....every day!
