This week was very stressful to where I wanted to throw in the towel and call it quits....I had a new student move in that was having a hard time adjusting to the new scenario and dynamics of the classroom. Plus, it was my last week of my ESL class and doing my reports, trying to finish my observation hours, etc...didn't help one bit. The things that I am grateful for this week are....
1. A teacher who overlooked my shortfalls and gave me full credit for the assignment. My final grade in the class was an A.
2. A parent who was willing to take the time to work with their son. Whatever they talked about made a difference because he became a model student over night.
3. Another parent who isn't acting like nothing is wrong with their child. She gave me ideas on how to bribe her son to do his work in my classroom.
4. A daycare/preschool teacher who was willing to redo Jacee's hair when it needed to be done.
5. A daughter who was excited about Nursery and the opportunity to sing "Follow the Prophet". Their lesson today was "I will follow the Prophet".
6. Technology and for the opportunity to watch Conference from the comforts of my home. Even though, I am sure that Jacee will want to go to church next week to watch Conference. I loved the Women's session. It had a message that I needed to hear. I am grateful for a LOVING Heavenly Father who knows us so very personally. I know that if I keep doing the things that I know are right, I will be blessed in the long run. We might not know the answer now but someday we will....
7. For the opportunity to have a Church House across the street from where I live. I love that I can walk to church no matter the weather....People keep saying I will be grateful for this once it snows....

Seven on Sunday
This week has been hard. I have a great day with Jacee and then the next is horrible. Motherhood is definitely hard. I can't believe how much I have learned in the last 3 years. I'll never be rich like some of my cousins and I'll never be able to do as much as others, however, I am grateful for the things that I do have.
1. I am grateful for my Aunt Kathy and Uncle Lester who took time out of the their busy week to take Jacee and I to dinner @ Grumpy Jake's on Friday night.
2. I am grateful for my cousin Jace and his wife Lindsay, they have welcomed Jacee and I into their home every Sunday for dinner. It is so much fun to get to know their family. They are a lot of fun to hang out with. Plus, Jacee loves Jace's playground!
3. I am grateful for my sister Michelle, who took time out of her busy week to come up and wait for the cable/internet guy. This will truly help me in the long run!!!
4. I am grateful for my instructional coach, Nachelle Reynolds, she has helped me set goals in managing my classroom.
5. I am grateful for our curriculum/test advisor, Ms. Evans, she is taking the time to help me set up stations in my classroom. I have done direct instruction with small groups but I have never done stations with small groups. This is going to be interesting....
6. I am grateful for my calling and the opportunity to study the gospel. My kids are awesome!!! I don't feel worthy enough to teach them because they are so advanced in the knowledge of the gospel...
7. I am grateful to be Jacee's mom. I am learning everyday from her. I don't know why she chose me as her mother, however, I know she is the most precious gift ever....I love her with all my heart!!!

Seven on Sunday
Oh my goodness it has been forever since I have posted anything on this blog. I am feeling extremely grateful tonight for things in my life. For those who are new to my blog, I usually post 7 things each week that I am grateful for.....
1) I am grateful for a Heavenly Father who loves me and knows me personally....
2) I am grateful for the Gospel in my life. I have learned so much from reading the scriptures with Jacee each night even though we only read 5 verses at a time.
3) I am grateful for a little girl who continually wants to learn more about the Gospel and visit sacred buildings such as the temple. We went and visited the Snowflake Temple this week.
4) I am grateful for a friend who I can confess everything to. He is always willing to listen and give advice when needed. As I feel I have done that for him also.....Hopefully, this next year will bring about some amazing things!
5) I am grateful for my family, for without them I would not be where I am today. They helped me move up here and have continued to help me through everything....I am also grateful for a cousin who fixed my car.
6) I am grateful for the opportunity to teach on the reservation. As I had to learn to forgive my previous employer, I have come to learn some great things from my current employer. My instructional coach continues to help me each and everyday....
7) I am grateful for the opportunity to go to school and continue my education. I have learned a lot in this process. I hope to continue to learn and be able to apply the techniques to my classroom!!!
