Seriously, Am I Crazy!?!?!?

      Officially, this is my first post as a blogger and first time blogging!  Yeah!!!!  Hand claps for me...and a few high fives!   But, seriously...am I crazy?  My husband and I have four super active kids.  I must say that they are absolutely, positively adorable!   I'm the K-5 Instructional Coach for our elementary.   I tutor.  I'm a mentor of a girls youth group.  I told the pastor of my church that I will help in restructuring our children's ministry.  I'm also attending classes and writing papers to become certified in leadership. Now, I've decided to add to my platter....  I want to begin selling items on Teachers Pay Teachers and blogging.  Yes, I'm a little psychotic because I love it all!  I love being busy with my family, friends and work.  I don't know what I would do if I wasn't so busy.  I am super excited about my new adventures of selling on Teachers Pay Teachers and blogging!  I've always thought about both but never took any steps.  A couple of my colleagues at work began, convinced me with their efforts and progress and now it's full steam ahead!

      I am off to a rocky start.  I created my accounts about two weeks ago, and I have yet to load my first item on Teachers Pay Teachers.  My secret....I'm a bit of a nerd!  Yes, I know..I confess!  I have a bad habit of researching something to DEATH before I jump on board.  I have to know every little detail.  My husband hates that about me.  I've been downloading, saving and printing information for two weeks.  I've been a little picky here and there in designing my blog.  I WILL post my first items this week.  I also have a bad habit of working backwards.  I've been downloading clipart, borders, frames and fonts.  At the same time I have no idea for which TpT item I will use them.  I will get started this week!  I will get started this week!  I will get started this week!  So, what's your opinion?  Am I crazy?

  1. If you are crazy, then so am I!! I started blogging in March and did the same thing. I have two daughters and am a super busy body. I checked everything out and designed my own blog too. Your design is super cute:) Good luck on your new venture!
