  • Living, Loving, Hoping, Healing day 1

    It’s spring break here, and quite honestly the first one where I’m not completely relaxing. It’s hard to relax right now. Planet Earth is sick. All we hear about is the C-word. Yes, I hope your mind thought of any number of different C-words; that would reassure me that we are still ourselves. It is… Read more

  • Where It All Began

    Can we all just join together in a moment of silence for all the teachers out there? For me and many others, tonight marks the end of our Christmas break. It is back to the grind tomorrow. I’d be lying if I didn’t say I wasn’t a tiny bit melancholy about this. The past two… Read more

  • An Un-Manic Monday

    I just crawled under my big white down comforter next to EK who is already asleep and snoring just faintly.   It’s a Monday afternoon and it is far from manic.  You all remember the Bangles?  They used to sing a song called Manic Monday.  It was completely dumb but I can’t help but think… Read more

  • Life in the Real World

    I have an addiction to Facebook. Before that I had an addiction to MySpace. And before that, I had an addiction to different community forums like exercise and teaching ideas where I could converse with others and learn from them. I guess it’s not the worse addiction you can have, it’s not terribly expensive, but… Read more

  • Howdy, friends.

    Oh, hey there! It’s me.  Don’t you recognize me? It’s been a while, hasn’t it? I know, I know, I’ve been much too quiet lately. Oh?  You don’t agree?  Has it been a nice break for you? Well, not for me!  I’ve missed you all so. Life is happening with this old gal, I tell… Read more

  • I’m so giddy, I can’t think of a title

    My little 3 month old, EK, just left with her daddy to go check yearlings and feed horses.  They’ll be gone a couple of hours. Checking yearlings consists of driving through the pasture, feeding the young cows, counting them as they line up to eat, and looking them over good to check for sickness as… Read more

  • Blessings

    I have a hot drink, a quiet house, and a long to-do list, but I’m going to sit a minute and write.  I miss blogging.  If I had my ‘druthers, I’d stay home, write everyday, and make preserves; or some other similar lost art.  It sounds idyllic, but I’m sure it would get old after 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

  • Why I Blog

    I began blogging in November 2008 for reasons unexplainable.  It first began as a place to journal my unprivate thoughts and to catalogue my days. I blogged six days in November of 2008 and then didn’t blog again until January of 2009.  After that it was hit and miss for a season or two.  It’s hard… Read more
