I am 21 & in college but in a relationship with my "high school sweetheart" (should I not feel weird saying that when I graduated like..4 years ago? Cause it feels crazy weird. Anyways!) and we have been talking a lot about when we wanted to settle down and start a family and have decided 4-6 years from now would probably be best for us so your words about wanting kids SO bad but waiting, that's my life! Haha I was reading it nodding my head. I have known I was made to be a mama since I was like, 5. So waiting even now, when I have friends who are settling down (though I do very much want to enjoy the carefree 20s) is hard. But I know like you that waiting will make me love and appreciate every single day with my kids even more! So allllll that to say thanks for sharing as I can relate! :)Erynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14401870089388207446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2604493001487428914.post-656479287904525702012-09-10T11:04:20.647-07:002012-09-10T11:04:20.647-07:00I'm absolutely loving the blogs I've found...I'm absolutely loving the blogs I've found through "the olive tree" this morning.

And if even you can rock that red shade, then there's hope for me! (hahaha i just love that she said "even you". How are you supposed to take that?!) <br />Thanks for your honest encouragement on my blog today. It's reassuring to know that I'm not the only one who has been shunned by my child. What a terrible feeling though, hey? Ugh. <br />Oh, and lastly (lastly? is that even a word? the more i look at it the more it looks wrong. or like something only preachers say or something.) but anyway, LASTLY, these pictures are the very best.

I thought the students would be interested in learning. I was only 21. I had no credential and did not do any student teaching, so I was completely unprepared for the amount of discipline the students required.<br /><br />It was exhausting having to teach 5 or 6 classes in a row.<br /><br />Just coming from the freedom of college, I had forgotten all the restrictions of high school. Like the bell system. All students have to stay in class until the bell rings, regardless of whether or not they finished a test early. I felt like I was in prison, or back in high school myself.<br /><br />My husband teaches high school and does just fine. I think you have to have the right personality for it. I would recommend shadowing a teacher around in high school. You will know instantly if the job is for you. I knew the second I stepped foot in the classroom the first day of school, that I had made a terrible mistake. It was a long year. I could not wait for it to end.bandofbrothershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00611181345258921571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2604493001487428914.post-34347249037984353012012-09-06T22:14:39.900-07:002012-09-06T22:14:39.900-07:00Oh this is just the cutest post!!

I baby sit for a family with 3 boys, the same ages as your eldest 3 and I love the adventures we have (they are also way into Ninjago too!) :) <br /><br />Can I ask you why you started/stopped teaching high school? I have one more year of university and then I have to decide what I want to do with my science degree... and was leaning towards high school teaching but still so unsure! It would be nice to hear from someone who has been a teacher before! <br /><br />Thank you! <br />Ngaio May xxNgaio Emeryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18027985921440897452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2604493001487428914.post-40588038533983025672012-09-06T20:56:44.553-07:002012-09-06T20:56:44.553-07:00ha! i loved jess' comment.

I did not want to teach high school again. I could not deal with the attitudes. I was working the whole time I was in grad school as a T.A. for chem labs and chem discussions. i LOVED my college students so much but around 3 years into program, I wanted my own kids to love on...but I needed to finish the program first. And when I finally was ready to try it took a little while to actually get pregnant because I was on the pill for for so long and it had pretty much killed my cycle. I regret taking the pill for various reasons. Also I had a pesky cyst to deal with, tmi, haha. I will have to do my story some time about how I met John! I was actually thinking about that the other day!bandofbrothershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00611181345258921571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2604493001487428914.post-26907090780942854812012-09-06T19:15:23.190-07:002012-09-06T19:15:23.190-07:00I LOVE reading your posts.
