Back to School DAY ONE

So school *FINALLY* started! Our school start was delayed one week due to the Holy Jim Fire which meant I had five "extra" prep days. Students will not have to make those five days up - it has something to do with a waiver and a state of emergency, and I don't know what all else, but maybe you do because you live in a state with hurricanes or tornadoes or snow! So we *FINALLY* began and the ... Read More about Back to School DAY ONE

School Starts on Monday: Take Two. We will FOR SURE be starting school on Monday. I still cannot believe that my school (and practically half of our school district) postponed the start date due to the Holy Jim Fire. As of today, the fire is 85% contained and all evacuations have been lifted. Praise the Lord! Our school district sent out cleaning crews to clean up all of the ash and prep ...

This past week, teachers reported back officially on ... Read More about Back to School ANXIETY

Family 2018

Well, I did it again. I skipped a week of blogging. Life was happening all around me, I was living in the moment, and blogging took a back seat. Kerry and her kids were in town, and I spent the last couple of weeks having fun and spending quality time with my family. It was AWESOME! Kerry makes me laugh like no other. The second day they were here, I traded cars with Steve so that we ... Read More about Family 2018
