I was a slacker last week. I didn't post for my Funny Friday series. I had material. I was just lazy. Hey people I made it two weeks. So in honor of my two week record, I decided I'd post for "Tell a Stupid Joke Tuesday". Yes I made that up. Impressed yet? Last week, … Continue reading Tell a Stupid Joke Tuesday
I'm about to get real. Well, I think I'm always real...but realer. Wait, that's not a word. More real. I have two kids. 18 and almost 14. I became a mom at 21. At that moment being a mom became the most important thing I would ever do. My husband and I had to build … Continue reading Helicopter
I'll try to keep it short, but I do have a story to tell. I like to think I'm an engaging teacher. I teach. And the kids learn. Like maybe it could be that simple. However, middle schoolers can have an entirely different agenda. You know, raging hormones and all. So more often than not, … Continue reading Funny Friday #2
A well known fact from the depths of my classroom: I tell jokes. Really bad ones. All the time. In fact, the cheesier the better. "I like cheesy jokes, they're GRATE" And they're always nerd alert science jokes related to our topic of study. Sometimes the kids get them and sometimes they don't.

Whether it was finishing classes so that I could get to the next step on the pay scale or STEM meetings or conferences. I'm almost to the bottom right corner of the … Continue reading Weekends Have Meaning Again…
While this is not an official 40 before 40 adventure, it's definitely an adventure in which I partake each August... Let me set the scene: The children are getting excited about seeing their friends, who's in their classes and which teachers they have... They are ready to sport their new clothes, haircuts and gear... Parents are out … Continue reading Back to School…
It's true. I've been in denial, but the proof is in the blog. I think I might be an attention whore. Let me explain. I've been receiving positive feedback about my writing. My ramblings speak to moms, teachers, almost 40 somethings or anyone who is getting a little older... And I like to make people … Continue reading I have a confession…
I know, I know...ambitious. I hear you. I get it. So what. Why not be ambitious? Why not reach for the stars? Why not dream big? Why not... Okay enough with the clichés. I taught 5th grade for 9 years and absolutely loved it. I taught with amazing people and met so many wonderful kids and … Continue reading Meet Bill Nye and Selfie in Space
