Well, hello!

Air. There you are. Yes, I finally found a moment of reaching the top of the water and can breathe again! So, I've been in my new job just over a month now, and it is, to say the least, overwhelming. Who knew how difficult it would be to switch mindsets back and forth from Chemistry to Algebra all day long?! That said, I do like it but think I will LOVE it once I really get the swing of things. I only like it right now. ;) I've already had a few of those "teacher moments' where the students make me proud and I feel proud for having taught them! And then there are moments that make me not want to go back tomorrow. Sigh. All in all, I know that I am blessed to be where I am right now, and for that I am grateful! I just wanted to check in to let you all know I am still here and enjoy reading YOUR blogs while attempting to stay afloat!


Completely random, but I feel that I should post something here about a very important event coming up in October. Blaine and I are participating in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure to raise funds for breast cancer research and awareness. Another teacher at my school put together a team, but I, personally, will be running in honor of my Aunt Diana, who is battling breast cancer (which has recently spread to her bones). If you are looking for a great way to give back, donations to the Susan G. Komen foundation can be made here:

...but a simple prayer for my aunt and all the others affected by breast cancer is more than appreciated, too. Thank you.
