but no BOOM. Just the ticking of the clock as it strikes 3:09am. I am sick.
Illness has been going around school since the first day, mostly colds and sniffles, but now more serious illnesses like strep throat and high fevers shared by both student and staff. I left school [...]

I’m Back! »

Well, after a month’s hiatus, I am back.  The last month has been filled with preparations for school.  I have been interviewing, hiring, ordering and sorting through textbook orders, setting up teacher professional days and the list of tasks goes on and on.  I do have to admit that I wanted to blog many times [...]

Pleasant Sunday »

I am just back from dropping LC off at the airport.  He is on the way to North Dakota for work and will be back Friday evening.  Tonight I have an old high school friend who is interviewing in DC tomorrow spending a few nights at the house.  He is planning to relocate to DC [...]

Biking and Rafting in WV »

So, LC and I drove over 5 hours south to get away.  Yes, I know, sounds a bit extreme but this is part of my vacation week and it was much needed!  LC made all the arrangements, he is such a doll like that.  He made plans for us to stay at a B&B, a [...]

1.  Two students – both from my campus – showed up at [...]

Memorial Day »

With an eventful weekend behind us, Memorial Day itself is already starting out as a reflective and relaxing day to ease me back into the work week.  I just finished a cup of coffee after sharing homemade waffles with LC in the dining room.  As he folds laundry (both mine and his!) we have HGTV [...]

Rollin’ on the River… »

Oh.  My.  God.  What an awesome adventure!  Today, LC and I went on a 6-hour kayaking trip out of Leesburg Virginia and ended at Terera Winery, voted the best winery in Loudon County, where we enjoyed a 2-hour tasting and winery tour.  What a great day!
The weather was very cooperative, not too sunny and not [...]

Memorial Day Weekend! »

Yay!  Three days of fun, right?  Memorial Day weekend is here, beaches are open, and today begins the official “pool season” for most public pools.  The temperatures are rising and the skies are clear.  I am excited about the things we have planned for this weekend!
Today we are going to do some shopping, and we [...]
