I am not as "well read" as I'd like to be, but I'm working on it!

I have two boys: Aarion who is 9 1/2 loves to read and play video games. He doubts anyone (other than me) has any authority and is sure he is smarter than most people...especially the kids in his class (which unfortunately for his ballooned ego has been true so far). ... more »

I am not as "well read" as I'd like to be, but I'm working on it!

I have two boys: Aarion who is 9 1/2 loves to read and play video games. He doubts anyone (other than me) has any authority and is sure he is smarter than most people...especially the kids in his class (which unfortunately for his ballooned ego has been true so far). If I can teach him humility, he'll be okay. Zachary is 6 and is torn between wanting to be a baby for the rest of his life and wanting to be a Jedi...I've tried explaining that neither is really an option--he is undaunted by this news. Although Zachary resists any type of education, I believe he is just as intelligent as his brother and his vocabulary grows daily (thanks to his mother and brother forgetting to use "baby words" and him asking what we are talking about :). My boys are my world~

I also have fish, two cats, and 2 pug dogs (one really belongs to my husband, but they are both "mine). Joaquin Felipe thinks he is a person and tries to keep everyone else away from me...no growling...he'll just sit on them or lay next to them until they are uncomfortable enough to move away from me...he sat on Aarion's head the last time he laid down in my bed to watch me play a video game :).

I spent 6.5 years in the Air Force before completing my education to become an English teacher...I teach English II and English IV AP and love every moment of teaching...even the days I doubt myself and when I'm fed up with the little "character builders" in my classroom. « less
