Summer is rolling along much too quickly. I’m at loose ends, because normally I’d be up in my room working, but they haven’t painted yet. The building will be closed next week while they work on ...

Well, for the first official day of summer break it wasn’t that great. It rained off an on (mostly on) all day. No outside, no fun anything out there. So, I just chilled inside watching shows on ...

Since we never had a winter, everything is blooming and good gosh my sinuses/allergies are rebelling. I’m sneezing, coughing, and blowing massive amounts of “stuff” out of my nose. I really thin...

---

I have them. I tell myself that I’m going to get on here more often and stay up on reading. I don’t know why I don’t. I do stay busy, but the people on here are important to me. I think because I...

---

It’s been a crazy sort of day. It started fine. Everything at school went well. We didn’t even get the rain they thought we were, so we got to have recess outside. That’s always a win. Then my co...

---

Just checking in. I’m trying to make sure that I update at least once every couple of weeks. I would love to build it back to once a week, but it just seems like there’s not much of anything to u...

---

I’m officially on school break until January 5. We ended at noon today. We technically had our party yesterday, but it wasn’t very long (not quite an hour), so today I cooked breakfast (waffles a...

---

There’s a week and a half of school left. In some ways it’s going much easier than this time of year normally would. I’ve finished 2 weeks of StarBase and have the final week next week. That’s tw...

---

It’s been a hectic, but fun week and day at school. I’m taking each of my 3 classes for a week long STEM camp at a nearby Ntl Guard Installation. It’s an awesome week with tons of hands on fun. H...

---

I have failed miserably at catching up. I was hit with a second round of the stomach bug. It was bad. So I had several days of not being able to do anything but be sick. I couldn’t hold anything ...

---

I can’t believe how long it’s been since I’ve written in here. I don’t have any good reason. Life has just gotten in the way. Nothing major, nothing fun, nothing terrible, just life. I’ve missed...

---

It’s been a hectic start of school. I’m doing ok with the grade change, but there’s just so much. In a lot of ways I feel like a new teacher. For example, right now I’m having to reteach myself a...

---

We received a call from a parent this morning about one of our new students. Her oldest son, who is in one of my classes, attempted to kill himself last night. It just blows me away. He had a rou...

---

Well, we’ve had 4 1/2 days of school, and we’re out today. We had a pipe burst in our PreK room. It flooded 3 rooms, and shut our water off. My classroom is up the hill, away from this room, so i...

---

I’m not really sure what happened. I woke up Monday morning and felt like I couldn’t move. At first I thought it was just a bad crick in my neck. I took it easy for the day, and the neck pain see...

---

What does your online diary name mean, and why did you pick it? My diary name is Dream Seeker. I chose it because I feel like I am seeking a dream. Not necessarily the same one I was when I start...

---

There’s really not much going on to share, but honestly, there’s usually not a whole lot. :) My life is pretty bland, especially in the summer. I’m taking today off. I may not even take off my pj...

---

Technically we’re a couple of weeks into summer break, but it doesn’t feel like it. I was sick the first week and now I’m going up to school almost every day. First it was packing up my “old” roo...

It’ll be fun, they said. It’ll be easier they said. Well....they LIED!!! lol Well, I guess not completely, it is fun. But it’s most definitely not easy. For the past few days I’ve noticed that wh...

---

I took my mental health day today. As far as the school knows, I have a doctor’s appointment. I feel guilty as hell. My plan was to sit and relax, maybe read all day, and I’m all antsy and wonder...

---

We are two days into the torture that is state testing. It’s been a rough couple of days. I have a student who is pushing every button I have. I’m working really hard to not let him get to me but...

---

I got to talk to Tootie today. It really made me feel better. She had it rough yesterday. The anesthesia really made her sick, she’s like me and gets car sick really easily, so that made it worse...

---

I didn’t realize how long it had been since I’ve been here, until I realized how far behind I was in reading y’all’s diaries. I’m caught up now. :) Things are going ok here. We’ve still got a lot...

---

I don’t know if y’all have seen it on the news, but we are getting tons of rain down here. Some parts of the state have received 20 to 30 inches in the past few days. It’s really bad. Thousands a...

I’m sitting here snuggled up in my pjs and fluffy blanket, loving the cool weather. We’ve had frost every morning this week. Still, every day there are kids coming to school in shorts. :( Some j...
