I Believe that You Can Rescue Me …

Okay. So, what I didn’t mention the last night – my Toshiba HDD — suddenly stopped working last week. I had that moment of complete and utter panic. I turned to people that I knew would know something, anything – please for all that is good in this world, galaxy, universe, parallel universe – multiverse?Continue reading “I Believe that You Can Rescue Me …”

Life has been CRAZY! Seriously.

It has been super duper crazy! Even though I have the summer “off”, I still work with the Before/After/Summer program for my district as the STEAM Education coordinator! And I went to my new school a couple of days to do SUMMER BRIDGE (a way for incoming 6th graders to get to know the schoolContinue reading “Life has been CRAZY! Seriously.”

Longest Week Ever.

This past week seemed like it was never going to end – EVER. It doesn’t help that I’m one of those perfectionist people either! Although STEAM camps are over for the summer, I do multiple things for our Before/After/Summer school program. Our big competition for the summer was our Second Annual HOST + myOn SummerContinue reading “Longest Week Ever.”

The biggest being – and it’s still a learning process –Continue reading “The Short Version”

And honestly, tired isn’t even the right word — that would be EXHAUSTED. When you reach this point of the year as a teacher,Continue reading “The End is Nigh.”

Life Lessons.

Life lessons are often really not something anyone looks forward to but they come in two ways: expected and unexpected. Since 2021, I’ve been looking for a house and the market exploded in early 2022 … with houses being INSANELY overpriced in the Tampa Bay area. Like $120,000 to $150,000 more than what they wereContinue reading “Life Lessons.”

… and sometimes.

I’ve been busy on the site, at work and sleeping. So many things have been going on at school and the hardest is losing my teaching partner, Lindsey. She is realising her dream job at weeks end and I am truly happy over the moon, but it is bittersweet. The solution to her leaving isContinue reading “… and sometimes.”
