Wowsers, this last week has gotten away with me. As I began to prepare my week's assignments this evening, I realized that I had never published my BioPoem. YIKES. I thought I would be able to really bust it out but it actually took me some time and thought, mostly because so much of my life has changed. I have met so many of my goals, have created new ones and had to prioritize others. This was a fun and insightful assignment.


Katie
Willful, animated, witty, warmhearted
Mother of Ivette and Maxon
Lover of horses, fresh morning air, and my loving husband
Who feels brownies should be considered a health food, sometimes lost within motherhood, and on occasion- utterly exhausted
Who fears humid weather, not living everyday to it’s potential and not seeing my children grow
Accomplished earning my Associate’s degree, taking a shower today (that is kind of a big deal when you have a three year old and one year old), earning straight A’s for the last 4 semesters at Columbia College
Who would like to see and travel the world (cliche I know, but I really do want to), enjoy just one Saturday and sleep in past 7:30am (again, little people in the house), and travel through time to see my husband and myself when we are old.

  1. Wow your poem is awesome! I am also playing catch up so still have this to do as well! I am envious because I am pretty sure mine will not be this good! :-)

  3. First, I am glad I read your poem.
    Second, be stinky...showers are sort of overrated...well not really but I am about to send off my third born, willful, charming headstrong son. While I am so excited for his adventure I wonder where my 8, 6, 4, 2 and 1 year old went. Seems like yesterday I was exhausted, thinner (haha!) and had them all under my feet or on my lap while I read to them. I have a lump in my throat and my heart has a bit of an ache, knowing that in 3 years I will be an empty-nester. I am way to young to be an empty nester. Hug your little ones extra tight - in a flash they will be two foot taller, voices deep and living their dream. I have raised all my chicks to fly...never clipping their wings...but goodness this is so much emotion.
    I have enjoyed getting to know you through our education courses and you will make a fabulous teacher! Your lesson plan ROCKED!
