Uncategorized Today I talk about a gal from my last class. I met her last year, when she first moved to our little town. She seemed very sad and withdrawn, not happy that she was in a new town. She was very soft spoken to some they might think she was laced with attitude and remorse, but we got to talkin and I recognized quickly that she was a cool chick. Shortly after she had a change in her schedule, so she left. She returned to my class this semester…. She had a few bumpy weeks where I had to call home to ask her parents why she was so detatched. I don’t know what happened in the home but She returned the next day, working hard and ready to learn. Now I joke around with her a lot, she likes the sarcasm, so I try to dish it to her as much as possible. Today I called her JULIA GRULIA, and in her quiet way scoffed at me. I then told her that it was okay to be a GRULIA cause I was known (by my brothers) as SMELLY BELLY KELLY GARBAGE PANTS. Much to my delight she cracked a smile :) Grateful that ms GRULIA is in my class and that we can joke around like kids should… Posted on May 15, 2014 by kelly Continue reading →

Uncategorized Yes they are the 2 biggest nerds in the universe….. But I love them to the moon and back for many reasons. They are my twin brothers and although they can finish each other’s thoughts and sentences ( very annoying when playing board games) I feel included, important and very much a part of their lives as there little sister.

Uncategorized The one person in my life that has seen “all of my true colours”, my mom continues to stay the course and stay by my side through good and bad. I think it would surprise her to know that the little things in our life together made a huge difference. It was the times she took me for lunch when I went for my monthly trips to the ortho, the all day wait at the hospital when I was in labor, knots landing Thursday nights….it’s those times that were our special times where I really felt the gravity of her support and love as my mom. In my ugliest of times she made me feel pretty, like only a mom could. For all the snuggles on the couch, cheers in the stands, hugs, $ :) companionship and most of all undying love, I wish my very special mom a happy Mother’s Day, love you to the finger tips xox Posted on May 11, 2014 by kelly Continue reading →
Uncategorized Today was a trying day for me in my classroom. One of my students said something in the class that hurt me, it affected me mostly by who it came from. It has taken me a long time to realize that a lot of kids come to school with baggage, their baggage is so large that it could fill my house… So when these kids act out and treat me in an unkind manner I always have to remind myself that I don’t know the root of their behaviour. After this took place the student was sent to the office where he later apologized to me. It took a lot for me to suck in my pride and accept his apology…. What got me was that he said several times that he didn’t want to jeopardize our relationship. So instead of being negative nelly, I accepted his apology. I believe in forgiveness. I believe in second chances. I believe that next time he will pause before he does something like this again. I believe that Colin is truly a good person.

Uncategorized It’s a tough one, and today I heard many stories from my students that adults have a really hard time admitting the error of their way. After thinking about this for most of the day I realized that it’s hard to admit this in any role, as a daughter a wife or even a mom, I struggle with this one all the time. Are you big enough to admit that you are wrong? Posted on May 8, 2014 by kelly Continue reading →
Uncategorized My post today is about my brother Ken. While he is a twin and very much like Jeff, he is kinda different. He’s a little more like our dad in that small things make him really happy. When I went on my honeymoon to Disney I told my husband 100 times that I wish that ken was here, when he’s happy he glows, and that makes it fun for everyone around him. I always say that he is the best person to be around when he’s on holidays, cause he just smiles and has fun with everything that he does. He’s also sensitive, caring, helpful and always happy, joking around is a must with Ken. His easy going nature often makes him take the brunt of his buddies and us siblings jokes. I feel unbelievably lucky to have such great brothers, we don’t often argue and we have a great time when we get together. I love my brother Ken and I hope that he knows the joy that he has always brought to my life. Posted on May 7, 2014 by kelly Continue reading →
