Taking in Strays

This will be an interesting week for my family as we are hosting a student who is staying with us. Helena will be a freshman and has been a student that I’ve taken care of academically this past school year. Her family and mine have become close and I agreed to take her for a [...]

Summertime iPhoneography

First things first: I’m writing a book proposal and it’s taken me longer than I thought it would but I got some good advice from a few published friends about that so I halted what I was doing and read three books (3!) on the subject on publishing non-fiction. Needless to say, it has set [...]

Suebob: A Passion for the Ridiculous

Suebob is an old friend of mine and if I were to try to count back how long I’ve known her it would mean that I would have to say I was in my 30s at the time and Suebob was in her 40s. Suffice to say that I’m 40 now and Suebob is turning [...]

Kelleri

It occurs to me that I cannot come up with a pithy title. Summer brain must be in full effect already. It’s either that or I’ve been so busy since posting about doing good deeds that my brain feels like it’s been on the spin cycle. Projects are coming at me left and right so [...]

I Get to Do This For My Job, Y’all

I am not a gardener. Let me just admit that right up front. Actually, I told on myself a while back so it’s really no secret. I have never had my own garden nor can I recognize a lot of plants or flowers unless that little tag is attached to one. My gardening skills are [...]

Ninja Gardeners

These last few weeks have been nothing but running around doing the busy busy-ness of a middle school educator and I finally started the countdown to my Spring Break today. Everyone, and I mean everyone, is cranky and ready for a break from one another. It’s the longest stretch of school with nice weather we’ve [...]

Birthdays and Happy Stuff

Some marvelous things happened this week. One of my favorite parts about having a blog and sharing things online with friends (yes, I said FRIENDS) is that people read my words carefully and generally care for me. That’s a really nice thing to have in life anyway and I am blessed with some pretty fantastic [...]

Caregiver, Schmaregiver

What? Me post two days in a row in one week? Is the world coming to an end? (No, I just like to call this my summer posting series where I am far more consistent with the whole blogging thing.) Not long ago I asked for help for something that normally I would have just [...]

How Incredible Is This Kid?

Mallory’s birthday this year came and went, for me, in a flash. A slow-moving, dragging out all day, must get a ton of stuff moved to my new house flash. If that’s how flashes work. She celebrated it with friends who came to visit from St. Louis and, while I called her early enough in [...]

Are You Listening?

Not long ago I shouted from the rooftops about a student who has just ripped open my chest, reached right into my heart, and grabbed ahold of my beating ticker. She is more than a thousand kinds of amazing. I get to have the luxury of complaining about my job, but I have a job [...]
