April 1st

The year was 2005, I had made an incredibly IMPORTANT decision, not to return to teaching and stay home with baby Jackson who was only 3 months old at the time and STILL COULDN'T SPEAK! I was really nervous about telling the rest of my teaching team because I liked them so much, and I really valued their opinion. When I finally went in and told them, I spit it out as fast as humanly possible. They all looked at me and said, "Yeah right, you are pulling an April's Fools Day joke on us!" OMG, all the time I spent AGONIZING over telling them, and I choose to do it on April 1st!

Rookie Move!

Needless to say I try to keep my mouth shut on April 1st, and Jackson, well he can speak VOLUMES today!
