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 seems like I turn around and weeks have gone by. I hate that. Things here have been fine. School continues. I’m settling into the new grade. Morale at school has taken a hit. Our numbers kee...

---

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...

---

Sometimes it’s just hard to come up with a title, lol. Things are going fine here. Apparently we had some bad weather last night. I slept through it, so I have no idea how bad it got. I haven’t...

---

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...

---

lol I seem to say that a lot. Lu has been sleeping away and suddenly jumped up and she’s off. She has attacked my shoe and sock, chased some invisible critter into the door, and is now harassing ...

---

I missed the new year by a few days, but saw this survey and thought it was pretty interesting to wrap up the year: Lord love a furry duck - that took a lot longer than I thought! What did yo...

---

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...

---

I just wanted to update those who have asked. Everyone is doing much better. The girls and my sister are all ok. A little sore, Cbaby went back again to the ER and they said it was a slight concu...

---

My 24 hours started at 10:30 yesterday when Tootie called crying. She, my sister, and Cbaby had been in a wreck. The police told her that she should be ok driving her car, so they were coming to...

---

I think I may be caught up, or almost caught up on reading y’all. I don’t think I was quite prepared for what this grade change was going to mean. In so many ways, I’m like a new teacher. I’m fi...

---

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 survived day 1 of school. Well, technically it was a half day. Long enough for the kiddos to bring in their supplies and us get the basics taken care of. The real deal starts tomorrow. It went ...

---

I caved and crossed the river today. I had to go to Target and School Aids (teacher supply store). These are located in the large town about 30 minutes away. You have to cross the Red River to ge...

---

Sleep has always been an iffy thing for me. I’ve never been one to fall asleep easily. I have to read, have music playing, or the tv playing. And, once I’m asleep, there’s no guarantee that I’m g...

---

I had Cbaby with me this weekend. Her mom and Tootie were supposed to paint the bigger bedroom and move Cbaby’s stuff in there as a surprise. That didn’t happen (not really sure why), but I loved...

---

I just feel the need to write about what is happening in Baton Rouge. I’m several hours away from there, but I have friends and family who live in the area. They’re all safe and away from the dan...

---

I’ve been home a couple of days from my wetland trip. It was as fun as always. I love it down there. I wouldn’t want to live there, because I missed my hills, but it’s a little piece of magic. :...

---

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...
