I can't believe I'm actually doing it. I started my doctoral degree program this week and it's so crazy. I never would have thought a year ago that this is where I would be. But it feels right and I'm really happy to be doing it. Even though it's really scary and intimidating and overwhelming! [...]

I've been in education for over 20 years. I've gone through the various pendulum-swings of testing, standards, bad economy, teacher pay, and now Covid.

So for my legions of fans and followers, you've probably been waiting and waiting for me to post, George R. R. Martin-style. (Ha!) I started this page, and my ancestry research, in May 2018, approximately 1-2 weeks before Mother's Day, of course planning on doing a lot of research and writing about what I discover [...]
via Photo Challenge: Place in the World My place in the world is wherever these three boys are. I know someday they won't need me (at least not until they need childcare!) but regardless of what they need, MY place is where they are. At least to be there just in case they need me. [...]
via Daily Prompt: Slight Oh, the irony. I am currently sitting about 10 feet away from somebody who is currently "slighting" me because she felt "slighted" by me last week. People are funny things. When you break it down to it's basic elements, we're bags of flesh and bones powered by some sort of almost [...]
I'm finally doing it. I've started other blogs before, but they never stuck, and I think it was for a number of reasons, mostly because I didn't really have anything to write about. I just knew I wanted to write, but the idea of what I had to say was so vague. And I was [...]
