Hello all. It's been a very busy spring break so far and being off my normal schedule has kept me from posting. I have friends who have gone so many wonderful places this week: St. Lucia, Rio, Florida, etc... So many people asked me where I was going this week. I told them, "I'm going to...

Thinking of you...hoping you get answers soon.

I am thankful for my upcoming spring break. It is overdue. I am thankful for the warm weather approaching in the coming months.

WOO HOO! I got the unpleasant chores done! It’s amazing what I can accomplish when nobody is under foot. WOO HOO! The remainder of my day is appearing to be quite relaxing. It’s been challenging at school with all of the erratic student (and even faculty) behavior…caused by the eclipse...

For safety reasons, we watched a live feed of the eclipse on our Promethian board rather than outdoors. Curious kindergartners don't always follow directions, and we couldn't have anyone endanger their eyesight. We saw the eclipse in Mazatlan, Mexico, and it was a beautiful sight. The...

:welcome:

Whale watching is my favorite activity. As a child, we rarely saw any, but the waters have become healthier, and now we see humpback whales, seals, and even dolphins. I find it to be so exciting.

I totally agree that this upcoming eclipse is affecting behavior. Thursday and Friday, my students were truly acting like lunatics. Today should be a blast. :sad2: I'm motivated by the fact that I didn't gain this weekend (bad habit) or even maintain (usual goal), instead I lost 1/2 a pound...

This is such a great list of happiness triggers. Watching my students being kind to their classmates, especially the students who might not be accepted in another classroom, fills my heart with joy. I love hugs, but I don't hug much anymore because of Covid, so it's only my close family. I...

1. Disney character Cinderella…ever since childhood. 2. Disney resort Polynesian…loved Contemporary but I stayed there before they made those changes with the Incredibles so that was a one and done. The Beach Club was great because of Stormalong Bay. But Polynesian’s location wins out over...

Anyone feel the earthquake today? I didn’t, but DD did. Her assistant was on a ladder at the time 😳

I am thankful to be within a couple of pounds at my lowest weight in 20 years. Now I have to push through this barrier to get the rest of my weight off. It’s a big challenge that I haven’t been able to overcome in all these years. I would like to get 10 pounds off before my physical in 2...

I love it that you get the POV of a teacher. I will be at school and staying in my classroom. I do NOT want to be responsible for the handful of students who refuse to follow directions. Last week I was talking about how much I will miss this class. We only have one more marking period and...

I'm Summer...59 years old. I’m married 30 years to my DH, 64. We have one DD, 26 I'm a veteran early childhood teacher in an inner city public school currently teaching Kindergarten as well as the Kindergarten Teacher Leader. My current goal is to lose 10 pounds this month. I am working on...

I had a special visitor yesterday. DD’s close friend passed away in high school, and it caused shock and despair among everyone in their school, but it was devastating for her family and our family. Over the past 10 years, every spring a brown bunny came to visit us, and we knew it was her...

Yesterday I cleaned the entire house, and I was exhausted. It was nice to wake up to a clean house today. I am enjoying my spa day tremendously. I really needed to relax. I had a wonderful massage, and got my toes and fingers looking good again. Other than paying some bills later, I don’t...

All chocolate candy. DD is a chocoholic like her mom. Her boyfriend is getting one too because he is spending Easter with us, and he’s my kid for the weekend. DD’s basket is reused every year since she was little. I replace it with new grass to freshen it up.

I am so happy to be off today. The house fell apart while I was sick, and returning to work before I was 100% didn’t allow me time to put everything back together again. DD and DH did a little (in their minds, a lot) but it is BAD. So that’s today. Of course the creative side of me needed to...
