It’s getting to be that time of year when I begin to feel sad that I will be saying, “Goodbye” to these children very soon.

Oneanne, I agree that it is good music. Yesterday DD’s Taylor Swift listening party was hijacked by her BFF’s fiancé who is basically a narcissist. Unfortunately the party was ruined, and it spilled over with DH and I as well. It ended up being a very stressful and uncomfortable situation. I...

Stalking the garden center worked! I got all six hanging baskets. Now I just have to keep them alive for three weeks until I can transplant them into the rectangular planters on my deck.

DH used to be a landscaper when he was in college, and my parents were avid gardeners, so I have been surrounded by experts. We have mostly perennials which come back every year. But I love my annuals. An easy way to get started is by just planting some annuals in hanging pots. The most...

It is early, but I am currently stalking my garden center for specific annuals called Supertunias. They are just as beautiful and colorful as the wave petunias, but they need a lot less care…no need to remove the spent flowers. They also tolerate my full sun deck better, and instead of looking...

I'm glad you are in the process of getting answers.

Today, I continue cleaning and organizing. Yesterday, I conquered my bedroom which is always saved for last since guests never go there. While dusting, I was wishing I could have the tv on in the background. Since we disconnected DISH satellite, my 28 year old bedroom tv hasn't worked like...

Hello all. It's been a very busy spring break so far and being off my normal schedule has kept me from posting. I have friends who have gone so many wonderful places this week: St. Lucia, Rio, Florida, etc... So many people asked me where I was going this week. I told them, "I'm going to...

Thinking of you...hoping you get answers soon.

I am thankful for my upcoming spring break. It is overdue. I am thankful for the warm weather approaching in the coming months.

WOO HOO! I got the unpleasant chores done! It’s amazing what I can accomplish when nobody is under foot. WOO HOO! The remainder of my day is appearing to be quite relaxing. It’s been challenging at school with all of the erratic student (and even faculty) behavior…caused by the eclipse...

For safety reasons, we watched a live feed of the eclipse on our Promethian board rather than outdoors. Curious kindergartners don't always follow directions, and we couldn't have anyone endanger their eyesight. We saw the eclipse in Mazatlan, Mexico, and it was a beautiful sight. The...

:welcome:

Whale watching is my favorite activity. As a child, we rarely saw any, but the waters have become healthier, and now we see humpback whales, seals, and even dolphins. I find it to be so exciting.

I totally agree that this upcoming eclipse is affecting behavior. Thursday and Friday, my students were truly acting like lunatics. Today should be a blast. :sad2: I'm motivated by the fact that I didn't gain this weekend (bad habit) or even maintain (usual goal), instead I lost 1/2 a pound...

This is such a great list of happiness triggers. Watching my students being kind to their classmates, especially the students who might not be accepted in another classroom, fills my heart with joy. I love hugs, but I don't hug much anymore because of Covid, so it's only my close family. I...

1. Disney character Cinderella…ever since childhood. 2. Disney resort Polynesian…loved Contemporary but I stayed there before they made those changes with the Incredibles so that was a one and done. The Beach Club was great because of Stormalong Bay. But Polynesian’s location wins out over...

Anyone feel the earthquake today? I didn’t, but DD did. Her assistant was on a ladder at the time 😳

I am thankful to be within a couple of pounds at my lowest weight in 20 years. Now I have to push through this barrier to get the rest of my weight off. It’s a big challenge that I haven’t been able to overcome in all these years. I would like to get 10 pounds off before my physical in 2...

I love it that you get the POV of a teacher. I will be at school and staying in my classroom. I do NOT want to be responsible for the handful of students who refuse to follow directions. Last week I was talking about how much I will miss this class. We only have one more marking period and...
