I feel really terrible about how I’ve neglected this blog lately.  I’ve been trying to keep up with the business side of my blogging obligations, but life since the holidays has been extremely hectic.  Shall we count the ways? WORK District Reading Fair, Spelling Bee, and the Battle of the Books, not to mention just [...]

Batter Up!

I was never an organized sports kind of kid growing up.  I attempted to play t-ball for one season and was *that* kid who played short stop and did everything but stop a ball because I was in my own little world.  While running the bases once, my coach screamed, “GO HOME!!  GO HOME!!!!”.  Can [...]

I’m not THAT mom this year for Easter.  There are no Resurrection Rolls, Resurrection Eggs, Resurrection Gardens, and y’all…we didn’t even dye eggs this year!

(No, we didn’t have any…they belong to family!) 1- But speaking of new additions to the family, number of cars bought [...]

My parents have a whole family (plus more) of stray cats who suddenly started taking up residence in their neighborhood a couple of years ago.  There are about five of them that show up at their house morning, noon, and night for a meal.  I suppose it doesn’t help that we feed them.  In any [...]

Vacation, All I Ever Wanted…

It’s finally here.  Really and truly here.  I have been dreaming of this day since we went back to work after Christmas break. Spring Break is here. I have never been so glad to see a Spring Break in all of my teaching years.  I want to sleep past 4:30 AM.  I want to go [...]
