My schedule has been drastically changed, so I may now have time to blog more. After the winter break, I added a high school class of Psychology to my schedule. I now teach 7 out of 8 hours, four days a week and 5 hours on Fridays. It was 7 hours, 3 [...]
As I sit here, in my Father’s office at seven in the morning (six in Tulsa), on Christmas Day, I don’t have to dream of a White Christmas. I almost didn’t make it to Maryland because of the wonderful, plentiful inches of white fluff that covered my home state all day Saturday and Sunday [...]
My mom tells me that she has always loved me and always will, but she didn’t really like me when I was in sixth grade. I never really understood her comment, until I began teaching sixth grade full time. It takes a strong person to teach all sixth graders, all day, and I’m not sure [...]
Happy Halloween everyone! Hope everyone finds this Halloween a fun, spooky time. I know it’s been awhile since I’ve written, but well, you know, I’m a mom! I have decided to go back as a mom. This is my last year teaching. Not only do my husband and I want to have another kid, but [...]
I’ve been up since 630 this morning, about an hour, on a SATURDAY morning; a morning my infant son has chosen to sleep in. AND, I AM AWAKE!!! I know babies easily slip into routines, but I’m proof adults do to. I wake up 510 every workday and obviously I’ve trained myself to wake up [...]
As mentioned in my previous blog, my choice daycare had yet to open while I was visiting family in Maryland. Here it is a month later and the choice daycare, which happens to be about 1500 feet from my classroom, has yet to open! We were told the daycare would open on the 1st of [...]
Wow, it’s been awhile since I’ve written anything. Hunter and I are back from the East Coast. We had a wonderful time visiting my family. I missed my husband, but it is so much easier to take care of Hunter with family around. Eventually we’ll move back to the East Coast, but my hubby and [...]
Murphy’s Law: What can go wrong, will.
The shorter the summer and the closer the beginning of school gets, the more Murphy’s Law takes effect. I love being home (Maryland), but it seems problems in Oklahoma and Maryland keeping coming up. Hunter was sick our first weekend in MD; we went to the beach and [...]
Sorry I haven’t written in a week or two, but it’s been hectic. First off, congratulations to all of my sister bloggers at 918moms.com for being number one in the city! I think you’re all number one in the nation, but I don’t think there’s a magazine that covers that. I guess I should [...]
“Honey, there is a river in our yard!” my husband tells me on his immediate return from leaving for work. This was before 830 in the morning and our yard was already flooded. A water mane had broken in our front yard, which is on an incline, the water proceeded to flow down our rock [...]
