It's always the first Wednesday...

It's now that I begin to think... "Where are my babies?"  I don't mean my three at home but, the 19 others that left me on Friday ready to tackle the world.  It felt good, I will be honest, on Friday.  But, now you start feeling as if you have forgotten something.  It was such an amazing year!  I saw Emma and church Sunday and she ran up and said "Mrs. Brinkley, my tooth is getting way wiggly.  I will just come by your house when I am ready for you to pull it."  That's what I miss.  The stories, the smiles and the comfort of me knowing they all came back safely to school on Monday.  I love you Mrs. Brinkley's Class of 2023!  See you in the 22nd for our Reunion!

a sad day...

That was then...this is now!

Never say never...

I am filled with thanks for the men and women that served our country.  Many in my family and for that I am proud!

I am surprising myself today as I start this blog (something I swore I would never do).  I hope it is meaningful for me as well as fellow teachers, parents and friends that find their way here.  I hope to share some daily blessings, trials and accomplishments in Room 202.  I will also have to share a little about motherhood and my creative ventures along the way.  So....Welcome to the blog of a third year teacher, former business owner, trained interior designer and proud momma to three.
