April was the LONGEST month ever. Every single day was difficult and exhausting. It was full of odd health issues and semi-scary diagnoses. I am so ready for May. Actually, I am so ready for my summer break. I really need a rest! I did get some good reading done though. That's a real good… Continue reading Month in Review — April 2024

It's been a really rough few weeks. On February 29, a dear, sweet student at my school died. It really shook us all. It's always uniquely awful when a young person passes. Then six days later on March 6, my beloved father-in-law passed unexpectedly. He had a massive stroke in his sleep. It feels like… Continue reading Month in Review — March 2024

February was a strange month for me. Simultaneously, it went by equal parts quickly and slowly. Quickly in the sense that I ran out of reading time and almost didn't meet my goals. But slowly in the sense that I am waiting on some test results for both my husband and myself, so I've been… Continue reading Month in Review — February 2024

January flew by! That's not typical for me. Usually January is one of the slowest months ever. I'm not sure why this month flew by, but I think is has to do with all the good books I've been reading. And all the fun family time I've had. January was a blessed month for me… Continue reading Month in Review – January 2024

December was a slower month for me, but that was because of the anticipation of a break. I am a high school teacher and our first semester was an absolute doozy. I needed my Christmas break so badly. And this year, the powers that be extended our semester by one extra week. So, while my… Continue reading Month in Review — December 2023

November was a quick month, as all the months in 2023 have been. But it didn't feel as intense as some of the previous months. I felt like I could take some time to breathe this month. It was nice. I took a break from blogging and just read books without the worry of a… Continue reading Month in Review — November 2023

October was an insanely busy time for me. Work was nuts! Here's my month-at-a-glance from my phone so you get an idea of what I was up against this month: 4 days out of the entire month I did not have a meeting of some kind. It's just too much. And this mostly just shows… Continue reading Month in Review — October 2023

Was it just me, or did September fly by? This was such a crazy, busy month. I truly cannot believe how close we are to Thanksgiving and Christmas. Didn't we just celebrate Thanksgiving and Christmas?! Man, time is really odd lately. Anyway, I had another excellent blogging and reading month. I've gotten into a really… Continue reading Month in Review — September 2023

I have to admit that for me August moved SO. SLOW. LY! It was an insanely busy time -- Bella started 6th grade, I started my 19th year of teaching, my brother got married, we "survived" Hurricane Hilary, and so many other things I just can't remember at the moment. But this month moved at… Continue reading Month in Review — August 2023

I cannot believe that July is over. If I could say one thing about 2023, it would be that time has accelerated. You blink and a month is gone. It really is crazy. Am I the only one feeling this way?! This July I took two weeks off to be with my family for a… Continue reading Month in Review — July 2023
