Dear Blog
Dear Blog, I just don’t know what to do with you as of late. I rarely post, and when I do I feel that I always post about being so busy, nothing to insightful! I started my blog over 3 years ago, I posted 2-3x per week, had regular readers, loved reading other great ladies …
Snow Days and Being a Working Mom
I am a working mom. There are times, I wish that I did not have to work! I stayed home with the kids for 5 years, and I am so thankful for that time. But now with a 15 year old and soon to be 13 year old, I am working. At times it’s HARD, …
Silence is golden!
I walked into the computer lab at school the other day to get my computer upgraded. My son just bought a new iPod Nano, so I needed the newest iTunes version. As I entered the lab I was suddenly overwhelmed by the silence! There were no classes in the lab at the time, just …
So I am driving down the road………
I am driving down the road the other day, praying, and thinking. Since I was alone in the car, this was possible. I realized that I have been suffering from the “I used to” syndrome. I have been feeling very guilty about the “I used to” syndrome and now I feel like I have been …
Random thoughts
Every blogger needs a random thoughts post every once in a while. So now it’s my turn for some serious randomness. I start back to school next week, I am not in the school mode yet! Summer has been so nice for us, and I guess I am not dealing with the reality that it …
Keeping it all in perspective…..
I was complaining to a friend I saw out this morning while at a yard sale ( have I mentioned how much I love to yard sale?) that I am sick and tired of waking up in the middle of the night drenched in sweat! I am a women deeply entrenched in evils of perimenopause. …
Snake handling and Fifth Disease
Just found out today the cause of what I thought was a weird spring flu. I had joint pain, a fever, hand and feet swelling, TIRED, rash etc. I have Fifth Disease, normally a childhood illness. It’s one of those things that if adults get it, it’s worse then when kids get it. So my …
We need to leave at 7:15am today!!!!
I yelled to the kids this morning, “we need to leave by 7:15, I have a meeting at school at 7:35 and I can’t be late!” It was 6:45am, and I still needed to eat, pack SportTman’s lunch, find some clean pants in my laundry mess for my son, and try to find 5 min. …
What makes YOU great?
I have been sitting at my laptop for the last hour or so working on a Jr. High Sunday School lesson for tomorrow ( yes, I waited to the last minute to prepare!……And yes I actually enjoy teaching Jr. High age kids!). The lesson is mostly about the disciples bickering about who is the greatest …
A snippet of a mom’s life
At this very moment I am eating these delicious multi grain tortilla chips and salsa cooking chili for dinner writing one of my student’s IEP’s doing a load of laundry ( actually the only time I am not doing laundry is when I am sleeping, but even then I am probably folding the laundry in …
Christmas break is officially over…..
The alarm rang at 5:45am this morning, it was tough getting up and getting back to school. I need coffee, was my first thought. But my second thought was, I need Jesus! I need the Lord to walk with me through this life. It seems when you are a teacher your life revolves around the …
It’s been awhile…….
since I updated my blog. I have been so busy with my job. I must admit it has been an adjustment returning to work full time. I can not imagine having a job where you work year round, don’t get home until 5:30-6:00 and need to bring work home! I am done by 3:00 everyday, …
