I miss writing and blogging. It was such a big part of my life for so long. And then the world changed. I started blogging back in 2006 as I waited to bring our son home and then became a “mommy blogger.” And then life happened and I wrote less on here as I wrote more for my Ph.D. program. Then I went back to teaching high school full-time and I tried to write every now and again.

And then I didn’t know what I wanted/needed this space to be. To be honest, I still don’t know what I want this space to be. Personal? Professional? A combination of both? I just don’t know.

I am entering a new phase of life, kinda. My son is a rising senior so college stuff is every where and all the time. My daughter is a sophomore and spending more time with friends, etc and I am always trying not to worry about her.

I’m coming up on 4 years as a widow and still trying to figure all of that out. I’m starting to exercise after totally ignoring my body and physical health for far too long.

I’m finishing up my Ed.S. in K-12 administration and will probably transition into administration–so I can pay for college–in the next couple of years.

I’m also department chair now and am continuing to teach 5 preps.

I’m working through the changes that pandemic has foisted on us as teachers and humans and how I have to adjust my teaching to best server my students.

So, I’m planning to be writing here more often. I just don’t know about what.
