Ten years ago I started this blog to help keep up with my busy family. Our children were in high school, and I wanted to be able to really enjoy and remember those years. I love teenagers - with all their quirks and smirks. Then, about three years ago I wrote my last post. It had been a difficult year, and I didn't really want to remember it all.
But now I'm comfortably transitioning into the next phase of my life. I'm working in a middle school with some amazing people, teaching a class I truly believe is a help to students - AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination). I get to teach kids the soft skills they need to be successful in the world. We focus on the academic world, but a good hand shake and some eye contact will go a long way in any world.
This will be my second year as an AVID elective teacher. I feel like I've got some perspective and some things I can share. My goal is to write something at least once a week. And because my classroom home is just as crazy as my family home we'll still be living in the Looniverse!

Random thoughts and recollections from my crazy life as a wife, mother, and teacher... involving a husband of 30-something years, three adult children and their significant others, two dogs, two cats, and a whole bunch of middle school kids I call my own!
