This week I added something new to my to do list: email two classes of students individually each day for three days. Starting on Wednesday I used Google Classroom to send an individual email to each student. It's mostly the same email with a change made to personalize it for each student. I hit send,… Continue reading A Reminder

Rest in Peace, Kosmo
Yesterday our sweet old man, Kosmo Kramer, went to the big dog park in the sky. He was the sweetest, cuddliest of our three puppers. He loved his humans and his humans loved him SO SO SO much. We miss him dearly and remember him so fondly. I'm just going to leave some pictures in… Continue reading Rest in Peace, Kosmo
Nothing New
I don't have much to say today. I'm about to start cleaning things to distract myself. I dropped Kosmo off at the vet this morning after his 3rd seizure in about 28 hours. He had another one last night at 8:30 and then again this morning at 8:10 am. Wanda is currently glued to my… Continue reading Nothing New
Sick Pupper
We have three dogs and our oldest, Kosmo Kramer, turns 14 in two months. He has a rough couple years. Two years ago, Komso tore his ACL. He had surgery and recovered quite nicely. Fun fact: Dogs who get ACL repair surgery have a 70% chance of tearing their other ACL. Well guess what, Kosmo… Continue reading Sick Pupper
Heart Mermaid
When I was little, maybe six or seven, I had to have an ultrasound on my heart. I have no idea why or what triggered that move, but I do kind of remember the cold of the jelly on my chest and the weird black and white image on the screen. What I definitely remember,… Continue reading Heart Mermaid
Proactive Fail
So this morning I decided to email all of my students' parents and guardians to make sure that all kids were signed up for the new Google Classroom for the 4th 9 weeks, and to share some info, etc. Well. It was a great idea that turned into a giant waste of time. Let me… Continue reading Proactive Fail
Before That: Wednesday Edition
Right now, I'm sitting on the couch, writing this post. Before that, I was eating a blueberry muffin that I made yesterday. If you're interested, I used this recipe (my favorite), but swapped sour cream with Greek yogurt and oil with applesauce. Before that, I was watching this fascinating video about how germs spread, shared… Continue reading Before That: Wednesday Edition
Quarantine Routine
I've seen a lot of schedules for kids on IG and Facebook, and via text from some of my friends. I'm not quite that intense, so rather than making a schedule with times and such, I just made a "routine" of things I need to do every day. Here is what it says: Workout (videos)/Walk/Yoga:… Continue reading Quarantine Routine
Wide Open
The next three weeks of my life are wide open. Wide. Freaking. Open. We just got the news today that due to equity issues, we cannot expect students to do elearning; therefore, we are totally off the hook for the next three weeks. On the one hand, WOW! How exciting to have three weeks of… Continue reading Wide Open
It’s heeeeeere
Well, it's here. Alabama had its first confirmed case of Coronavirus yesterday and today we're in a state of emergency. The governor closed all schools starting Wednesday through at least April 3rd. As of right now, we have no idea what's going on. We don't know if we have to assign work, or if we… Continue reading It’s heeeeeere
