A Virtual Writer's Notebook

Being a teacher carries over into many aspects of my life: the way I interact with children and adults, the way I use my "teacher voice" when my husband is acting up, the way I view the world as a wide open place to learn, and the way I want to capture every thought, image and encounter on paper. Hopefully this blog will help me to bottle and share at least a small piece of the world (and the way I view it) wih others.

IT'S ALIVE!


Metaphorically speaking, that is. When we bought our house two years ago and started to fix it up, it took on a life of it's own. Today I am the proud parent of bathroom tiles. Yes, that's correct. We are actually putting on finishes in this living, breathing, money sucking monster! Here is a picture of my father-in-law (sitting in the bathtub) putting up the first row of tiles. I was so excited, I almost cried. There actually IS an end in sight. :)

Dana- you are so right! And as soon as he's done with the bathrooms, we have cut him off from helping us anymore. We practically have to beat him off with a stick!
