After sleeping in this morning, (I think I deserved it), I woke to read a blog by someone I follow who writes posts on education. He wrote about the movie,”It’s a Wonderful Life,” and the connection it shows to schools and their role in the community. I enjoyed the post, and you can read it…
Halloween has always been one of my favorite holidays. Our family has celebrated several Halloween’s when we all dressed up. When my oldest was three (it was more than twenty years ago), we went to Walt Disney World in Florida for Halloween. He was a dalmatian and I made the costume. Since he was so…
For the last few days, I was out of town with my husband. He had to work in another city to cover for another employee who took a few days off and asked me to go with him. Having never been to the cities of Appleton and Oshkosh, I knew I should go to check…
Today, our front porch was cleaned, as I was expecting a guest. The front porch is only a small spot, taking up a square of five feet by five feet. It attracts spiders with their cobby webs, other dead insects and plant debris. It is somewhat dark and not all that inviting. Plants do not grow…
Do you ever have a day when you feel like you are turning a page? Yesterday was a day like that for me. It started off as being productive. Preparations for our high school graduation party are underway, so this has necessitated more multi-tasking than usual. Purposely, my day was broken into parts. Early morning…

“Have you ever” is a recurring series in my daily blog. I do not visit it as often as I should but I recently thought of another topic that fits this category of wondering if I am like other people or not. If you are interested, some of my other post in this series are…
Usually, I write about something important to me. But, I really spilled my guts in yesterday’s post, so I feel drained. Given that the Slice of Life Challenge is starting this Thursday and I have signed up to participate again, I thought I would just take today and write about nothing all that important. Another…
I have over 100 self-written prompts in my draft folder on my WordPress account page for my blog. The month of march is quickly approaching during which I will participate in the 11th Slice of Life Writing Challenge hosted by TwoWritingTeachers for my second year in a row. I have a voice. I have an…
Today is a mixed up day. It started about an hour and a half after the time I normally arise. I was greeted with bright sunshine peeking through my blinds. But, the thermometer said it was 10 below zero! There is no need to make lunches or get to school on time. There are four…
