Day 119: I'm unhappy…well sort of

As I’m nearing the end of my third week being back to work, I’ve decided that I’m just not happy…in relation to work, not life…well I guess work is part of life, but you know what I mean. If you are a follower of my blog, you’ve read that I teach at an Alternative High [...]

Day 118: Abby Sits!

(Before I get to today’s post, the answer to my wordless Wednesday contest is…27!  As a teacher you get your picture taken for the yearbook.  I thought it was pretty funny when I realized that I would still get a school picture at this age.  It was my first year of teaching…so I was almost [...]

Day 117: Wordless Wednesday

This Wordless Wednesday will have a contest.  The winner shall receive my awesome adoration…well perhaps I can dig something up to send you as a prize.  We shall see. The question:  How old do you think I was when this picture was taken? …and don’t forget to check out this giveaway… 

Day 116: I Heart Making Solids!

When I first started making baby food, I got this deep rush of excitement. I don’t know how to explain it, but it just felt so great to have a part providing Abby with nourishment. (I think it may have something to do with the fact that I’ve had many booby fails with breast milk [...]

Day 115: The War with my McFatty Body

I’m at a stalemate with my body…the one where we are staring at each other trying to figure out what the next move will be. There’s just no time for exercise right now.  Being a working teaching momma is all consuming.  On the weekends I’m busy doing house stuff and doing school stuff when there [...]

Day 114: A little help from my friends

***CLOSED*** …and the winner comment is…   So now that I’ve been back to work for two weeks, I’ve decided to try getting guest bloggers again.  (I put a halt on it for a while b/c it is just a lot to manage when you have all the other aspects of life going on.)  But [...]

Day 113: Date Night…well sort of

For the 2nd Friday in a row, we’ve opted for dinner ala pizza.  I’m thinking this is going to be our new thing since I’m back to work and we are now both exhausted by the time Friday rolls around.  And it just so happened that we got two Netflix dvd’s in the mail this [...]

Day 112: A word from the Sleep Lady (and a giveaway too)

***CLOSED*** And the winner is…. **********************************************************************************  So a while back I got an email to see if I wanted to check out The Good Night Sleep Tight Workbook from The Sleep Lady (aka Kim West).  I was so down.  At this point I was trying to figure out how to get Abby on a better [...]

Day 111: D-Day…where the "D" stands for Daycare

Yesterday was Abby’s first day in daycare.  She was still sick but with no fever, so we knew she had to go b/c, well really, we needed to be at our jobs.  Don’t get me wrong, I loved having Tuesday off to take care of sick Abby….even though she was sick, it was still time [...]

Day 110: Wordless Wednesday (Guess Who?)

Ok…so some words…further proof Abby takes more after her daddy than me….and I wonder what the heck I was thinking.  But now I’m thinking let’s have a contest…come up with a great thought bubble quote for baby metta.  I can’t wait to read the comments. (circa November, 1980…almost a year old)
