Today I feel a little stir crazy. It's absolutely GORGEOUS outside, but I don't want to leave Kosmo alone right now, so I can't go for a walk. He likes going outside, but not for long, so my trips into the sunshine are short lived. I just ate a poptart. That's where I am at… Continue reading Stir Crazy

Another Beautiful Day
Quarantine Day 4. Thankfully, it was another absolutely gorgeous day. I had a bit of a meltdown last night (in my head) as my emotions were running a bit wild, so today I decided to make a list of things I am grateful for. This beautiful Alabama March weather. I'm talking mid 70s, slight breeze,… Continue reading Another Beautiful Day
TBR
The creative juices just aren't flowing right now. The weather is perfect. It's day two of quarantine and, honestly, I'm already feeling a little stir crazy. I've done all of the things on my list, so next up? Reading! I thought I'd share my TBR list today. I currently have several books from the library… Continue reading TBR

Taco Night
It’s Monday and at our house that means it’s taco night. Honestly, my husband and I look forward to it all week. We make awesome tacos. First, we use Penzey’s bold taco seasoning. It is so good and has a hint of a kick. For toppings, you can choose from jalapeños, cheddar cheese, avocado, lime,… Continue reading Taco Night
The Disappointing Princess
What little girl doesn't love princesses? When I was little, I resented the fact that I wasn't born one or two hundred years earlier so I could live in a luxurious castle and wear giant frocks. (Granted, I didn't realize that I would have had to wear a corset, potty in an outhouse, brush my… Continue reading The Disappointing Princess
Overload
Today has been a struggle. I have waaaaay too many things in my brain. Here's what is going through my brain: What should we do about summer reading? What books should juniors have to read? What should the assessment look like? How do I want to change English 11 next year? The options are endless.… Continue reading Overload
Road trip (#sol17 23/31)
We're on the road to Lexington! Yay! This morning was a bit hectic at my house, but we got on the road around 10am. We're almost into Kentucky and it just started raining. Hopefully it'll clear up soon. We're going to stop for lunch and then finish up the journey. Tonight we'll get to see… Continue reading Road trip (#sol17 23/31)
You’ll Change your Mind (#SOL17 8/31)
"You'll change your mind." This has been said to me more times than I can count. Let me back up and start at the beginning of the most recent conversation that ended with this phrase. It was a pleasant morning first semester, I had just punched in and was headed up to my classroom. Walking quickly,… Continue reading You’ll Change your Mind (#SOL17 8/31)
Painful Listening (#SOL17 7/31)
Teaching Public Speaking has ruined my life. I admit that is a bit of an overstatement, so let me explain. I have been teaching the class for three years now. It's a semester class and I have at least two a year, so I think at this point I've taught the individual class thirteen times.… Continue reading Painful Listening (#SOL17 7/31)
