A formal introduction

I am the goldfish herder.
Have you ever tried to herd goldfish? Probably not.

About the goldfish:
Goldfish are tricky and quick and quite smart making them a challenge to herd. Luckily, most goldfish enjoy being herded and actually look forward to it, especially young goldfish. However there is occasionally the odd goldfish who is overly energetic, rambunctious and talkative... this goldfish holds the greatest challenge. Goldfish are endearing little creatures that are a lot more complex then most would give them credit for. Bright, shiny and new.

About the herder:
I am a beginning goldfish herder but I believe that while being a goldfish herder is a hard job that can make a normal 9 to 5 job sound like a vacation but there is no other job I would ever want. Herding pushes me to expand my own knowledge for the benefit of the goldfish. My patience is pulled to it's limits, as is my heart.

So, join me for my journey into goldfish herding. And please, pray for my sanity.

  1. I was a teacher for 7 years (middle school) but just resigned to be a stay at home mom. I LOVED teaching. (but love being a SAHM even more!) Best wishes with your first year!

  2. Almost the same as roadrunner's comment. I taught kinder, 1st, and 2nd for almost 10 years before becoming a SAHM. But, now a work a few hours a week with first year teachers in an alternative certification program. So, I'm excited to see how your first year goes. Good luck! You are going to love it!
