It’s so unsettling. This whole coronavirus. The world seems to be spinning out of control. What does this mean? What are we allowed to do? Where are we allowed to go? Can we have people over for dinner? Can I grocery shop for that dinner? Should I be going to the gym? My school justContinue reading “Shutdown”

I love my bed. I love laying in my bed watching tv. I love laying in my bed doing work. I love laying in my bed to nap. I love laying in my bed to sleep. I love my bed. I love to sleep but I know my sleep is not as restful as itContinue reading “Sleep”

I am not an overly anxious person. I think I take things in stride. But in this day and age of constant news cycles and social media, all kinds of issues are being blown up and exaggerated.

I had coffee with my friend on Saturday. You know that friend. That one friend that no matter how much time has passed you can pick up right where you left off. Not missing a beat.

Lately, I have been struggling with the loss of a good friendship. As this friendship moved away in miles, theContinue reading “Memory of a Distant Friend”

I hope you read that like Jan Brady saying, “Marcia, Marcia, Marcia!” How much laundry is too much? Is there even an answer to that question? Last night I folded 3 baskets of laundry (And yes, I am still sick). I am not sure where all this laundry comes from. I keep up with theContinue reading “Laundry, Laundry, Laundry!”

As I am recovering from my flu, this saying pops into my head. I am a teacher. I am a mom. I am a wife. Flu! Smu! As a teacher, every day I have to write sub plans. I also think about how the class is doing with the substitute. Are they behaving? Are theyContinue reading “No Rest for the Weary”

March came in like a lion, roaring loudly. I was at an event Saturday night and was overcome with nausea, aches, and chills. The Flu has hit. It had been making its way around the school and into my classroom. I would joke that a nice flu that would give me some days off wouldContinue reading “Down for the Count”
