I sat at my desk to write a slice. Before that, I LEA’ed a GIEP meeting. Tis’ the season. Before that, I caught up with a teacher about student concerns. Before that, I stood in the rain (with an umbrella) during a rainy dismissal. Before that, hmmm what did I do before that? Sometime before…… Continue reading A slice of before

St Patrick’s Day -Ireland Memories
I am blogging each day in March for Two Writing Teachers Slice of Life Story Challenge. Day 17 St. Patrick’s Day I consider my background to be basic European mix.

Smiling Through the Pain (literally)
Today was one of those days. The kind where your headache (post-vaccine headache) won’t go away, it’s your first day back since before the shortened spring break, and everything seems to be going wrong.

Tomorrow, I won’t be passing out those shamrock name tags. After personal reflection and important conversations with colleagues, I’m shifting gears to find another…… Continue reading A slice of shamrocks part 2
Adulting is Hard
Adulting is hard I’ve been renting an apartment with my boyfriend for over 5 years now but we are ready to take the next step. We’ve been house hunting for a month or so now and WOW is it taxing… who knew it could be so emotional? Adulting is hard. Speaking of my boyfriend… the…… Continue reading Adulting is Hard
It is halfway day (sort of).
I am blogging every day in March for Two Writing Teachers Slice of Life Story Challenge. Day 16 Halfway Day It’s halfway day! Technically between yesterday & today was halfway, but it’s close enough. I’m impressed with myself – I have a tendency to start off strong and then the motivation dribbles out of me.…… Continue reading It is halfway day (sort of).
