Today was a nice day. Compared to last year, this dinner, hosted by Todd and me, went much smoother. We were more relaxed, and I managed to located some really good youtube videos that helped me create a terrific meal (hopefully, no one goes to the ER for food issues). We entertained a small crowd, [...]

It is hard to believe that it has been almost 3 weeks since my last post. In the past, I have been far more diligent about updating my (very few) readers with what is new in my life. However, these past few months…very hard to do.
In a week or so, I am going to get [...]
Answering Questions
Posted in What's On My Mind, tagged life questions on October 20, 2009 | 3 Comments »
My good friend, PGoodness, put this on her blog today. She had one of her favorite blogs ask its readers some big questions today. She was compelled to ask her bloggy friends to answer them, and then send a link to her so the author of the questions could read them. Since [...]
Wacky Tacky Redemption
Posted in What's On My Mind, tagged teaching on October 17, 2009 | 2 Comments »
I teach sixth grade because I remember what those days were like. Difficult. Girls were mean, boys were idiots, and everyone wanted to fit in.
When I work with my students, I try to remember how hard it was…and how I wished someone stuck up for me when the other kids made me feel [...]
Changes
Posted in What's On My Mind, tagged reflection on October 4, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Feeling a bit reflective lately, I began to think about all of the things in my life that have changed in the last five, even ten years.
For example, I used to wake up to the annoying beeps of an alarm clock. Now, depending on the day, I either wake up two minutes [...]
A Break from the Worry, For Now

Today was a good day. First of all, I met with the Livin Lite people. They came up from Indiana to pick up and repair my camper (which was damaged by the dealership). Basically, it is being rebuilt from the box up, and to top it all off, we are getting some of the 2010 [...]
Trying to Hang In There

I have been away a while, as I have been busy trying to get issues with this house resolved. Between that and trying to devote more time with the girls (which has not been easy with all the bullshit), I am run ragged.
Since my last post, here are the negative things that have transpired (all [...]
What’s My Deal (Or Theirs)?

I should be enjoying a summer of no work. Enjoying time with my kids. Kicking back, relaxing and refreshing for a new school year.
I wish that were the way it was. Nope, it has been a constant issue…one after another. I just can’t get my shit together, and I am beginning to wonder, What’s my [...]
Assault on Health Care

I have had a pit in my stomach for some time now. Anxiety, as I watched us sink lower into a recession, knowing that my benefits would not survive an attack of some sort. Well, it is here. His name is Andy Dillon. The pit in my stomach justified.
I have been in education for 13 [...]
Wonder Nut?

Keep in mind, I am fully aware of just how wrong it is to photograph my dog’s, ummm…nut? But look for yourself…
He was neutered this week. I was under the impression that when a male dog is neutered, his, um, balls were removed. But, there it is…a very definite ball. Much smaller, without a doubt, [...]
