  • Preggo Update

    We are officially on the countdown.  Tomorrow we hit the 39 week mark.  Only one more to go.  Maybe.  And I am pleased to announce that I have finally crossed over into the land of excitement.  We went to the doctor yesterday for a sonogram and a check-in.  While I was working yesterday morning and… Read more

  • My dream

    Upcoming monumental events cause me a bit of angst, anxiety, and apprehension.  For example, each August I methodically prepare to meet a new group of second graders.  I hang posters, write out name tags, copy wonderfully engaging papers, plan ice breaking activities, and decorate my classroom door all in eager anticipation.  It seems that no matter… Read more

  • Baby Girl in 3D

    I usually find myself most uninterested when pregnant women start pulling out a roll of black and white, grainy sonogram pictures showing off their upcoming bundle.  I’m usually the one holding up the picture, squinting, turning it to the left, the right, upside down, right side over while oohing and aahhing when in reality I can’t… Read more

  • Pics from the Reveal Partay!

    This past Friday, some friends and loved ones joined us for a gender reveal party.  Some wore pink, thinking it would be a girl.  Some wore blue, thinking it would be a boy. Some wore black, thinking it would be…….uh, nevermind, I guess they hadn’t had time to do their laundry. J-Dub and I were both… Read more

  • Good News!

    I’m on top of the world.  I’m just on top of this beautiful, dadgum world.  It’s as if scales have fallen from my eyes and I see things in a new light.  In case you haven’t been following my life, first off, I’m pregnant.  With my first child.  At age 36.  With this came a… Read more

  • Baby

    There comes a time in a blogger’s life, when she must decide if something is too personal to share.  It’s easy to share chicken stories and recipes, possum deaths, and classroom funnies, but not so easy to tell others when you’re falling apart.  Not for me anyway.  There is an occurrence in my life and something… Read more
