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
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
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
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
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
Today I
{Thanks for the inspiration Elisabeth Ellington I haven't used this one in a long time} Today I struggled to get up. My alarm not only went off, which is rare, it went off for a minute before I realized what was happening. Today I listened to The Newsworthy podcast on the way to school. It's… Continue reading Today I
