FOUND: One Dose of Inspiration (Finally)

Okay, I have been going back and forth about writing a blog. I started a few months ago, but felt like I had no inspiration. Yes, 5 kids are inspiration, but I needed more! I realized today that I am at the start of what could be the most stressful yet rewarding adventure. I have taken a few college classes here and there. But now that I am no longer able to bare children (lol), I decided I should really buckle down and get this darn thing taken care of. Stress, Homework, Kids, Cooking, Cleaning= Inspiration!!!

I am working on getting my teaching credential. I could list countless reasons why becoming a Teacher is a good career path for me and my family, but there is one that just sums it all up: My love for children. Anyways, I got over-excited about this semester and wanted to take all the TECA (Child Development & Family Studies) classes I could. Did I read the requirements for each class.....nah! Will I make that mistake again.....HELL NO! I have 3 TECA classes all 3 require 16 hours of External Field Study, which means I need to sit in on and observe 48 HOURS of elementary school!!!!

I sent the sweetest email to Mrs. Brenz (principal at Yeager Elementary), and very graciously asked to complete my hours at Yeager. And thank goodness.....her secretary is working it out for me!!! I think I will have enough "inspiration", if you will, at the end of these 48 hours to fill 100 blogs! So stay tuned for future blogs about how I plan to handle, 5 kids, 1 husband, 1 Daisy Girl Scout Troop, Sports, Keeping Up On My TV Shows :), Teaching 1 Catholic Faith Formation Class, and College!!!!

Okay, I'm going to do this whole blogger thing. Ridge thinks I would be good at it because I have an opinion on everything. Not really sure what that means, so I punched him in the arm for it. I would like to do it because I see many things throughout the day that I wish I had on tape. Just short of trying to get a reality show (cause "Michele & Ridge plus 5" does not sound catchy), I thought I would just tell everyone what really goes on around here....

But this blog will have to wait because Hana and Hayley are getting all UFC on each other.....

Everyday I wake up and wonder, "What will this child come up with today?" There are so many things that he says, that blow my mind. Too many! I thought if I documented them, we could all get a good laugh and I could remember all the intellegent craziness that comes out of his mouth!

~The song "Fireflys" came on in the car. He said, "Mom, I don't get this song. It doesn't make sense and their reference to Firefly's doesn't make sense either."

~Cam: It's a nice day today, Mom: Yea, but it's going to rain later, Cam: But it's only a forcasted chance of rain.

~ Cam: Mom, how did you make it 29 years without knowing what Magma Core is???
