Spring Break is just around the corner! I'm looking forward to the time...I'm going on my first CRUISE with my hubby and two 16 year-old daughters! Very excited. Even though the break is nice (really nice), I will miss my 'other' kids. The 28 or so that I see each week. This got me thinking...why do I teach? Here is my TOP 10 list...
10. I learn something new every day!
9. The smile on a child's face is PRICELESS (and sometimes, I'm responsible for putting it there)!
8. The Christmas gifts are great :-)
7. Everyday is a new experience.
6. I get to help unlock the door to a whole world for these kids.
5. Some days I am the first one to see that very moment when a child 'gets it'!
4. I get to spend holidays with my OWN children.
3. I get to experience the saying 'out of the mouths of babes' 5 days a week (Trust me, kids say some pretty amazing, brilliant and insightful things)!
2. I am truly loved, unconditionally, by so many!
1. SUMMERS OFF! (Ok, I was just seeing if you were really reading, because if you are, or know a teacher, then you know THIS IS NOT TRUE)!!!!
1. Really...I cannot imagine doing anything else! I LOVE TEACHING!
Enjoying my Sunday (shopping online for cruise clothes while sipping Coppola Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast, 2008)

I used to drink Yellow Tail wine...which I liken to Easter Egg dye! It was not until I was in my 7th year of teaching, and after a trip to wine county to appease my husband, that I acquired a taste for the finer things in life. I still teach, but now I drink wine...not Easter Egg dye. This blog is designed to share my daily experiences as a teacher, with an occasional wine note thrown in!
