jankinaround: I Love Lucy!

About Me

Location: Metro Atlanta, Georgia, United States

I am a crazy busy Mom. I have started this blog because it looks FUN. I named it jankinaround. Let me explain....when I was in college I picked up this term. It means"just having fun, being silly,etc.." ( example: I'm here just jankin around, playing with my new blog! ) I have a fun husband of 19 years and 2 great kids. I have been on a music ministry staff for 14 years directing the youth choir! About me: I get focused very easily, If I had a motto it would be "Work hard,play hard." My life verse is Micah 6:8 ( ...And what does the Lord require of you?To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.) I like to have fun with my girlfriends ( okay - when I get focused they call it FOCUS FACE -- thankfully they love me anyway...) , I am sometimes reclusive when I get too busy, I am ALWAYS for the "underdog!" I LOVE Mexican Food.I have a new business with my very cool and fun partner -- my husband! We own a tutoring franchise and run it together. It is called CLUB Z! We are excited about this new adventure!! I am blessed to be a child of God -- that is the most important fact about me!

I Love Lucy!

Well, I am in Pittsburgh with Lucy. She is a fun travel buddy. Pittsburgh is very pretty, very hilly - lots of bridges and we two "southern girls" stick out pretty bad. Ok - we asked for grits - big mistake-- they were NASTY. We had a tough time getting here....we sat in the airport for ohhhh about 8 hours. I discovered that having your laptop makes it ok. I could check flights and play around . Tomorrow we hope to get home so that I do not have to "farm" the kids out for an extra day. It has been a quick trip, but one I'm glad I made. It is good to stay sharp on the latest in learning styles and how to best teach kids the WAY they learn. With all I do with students - it is always to my benefit to say current on the latest "stuff." I think "ohhhhh, that is why that kid does that! " Good stuff.

It's a blessing to have a Mom that is cool to "hang" with. She has been there all the way to support me and my family.
Thanks, Lucy!!
