"Off Energy"

There seems to be so much negative things happening in our world, right now. Just when we think it can't get worse, something tops the last incident. It makes it very hard to focus on the light and positive things....sometimes it seems like the darkness with take over. Hopefully, we are coming to the end of a very tough time....

Fall Break!!!!

Fall Break is finally here! Can't wait to just relax!

Summer's almost here!

I can't wait for summer! This has been a tough year and I am very ready for a quick trip to Coronado Island!

WOW

In playing with my Facebook timeline, I realized that I hadn't done anything with this blog...not that anyone really noticed. But I didn't know I had it linked to Facebook, so maybe I should update it.

Since this post there has been so much that has happened. I have a new granddaughter, the pain I experienced from accident has now disappeared and my allergies are history.

I've been able to connect with my Croatian roots and have been able to find more Croatians throughout the world. I even have begun to have Slavic children show up in my classes....what a blessing to begin to have other second generations in my life. They get it!

Fall Break!

Yeah! Fall break has finally arrived, except here in Phoenix it is still so warm that the air conditioner is still on...oh well! My car is full of damage from the hail storm that hit here earlier this week. It could have been worse....we could have had hail damage to our apartment and we didn't.

First Quarter of the new school year

I can't believe that the first quarter is over already! It certainly has been an interesting first quarter, but I have already seen the growth in my students. Students who weren't ready, can't put down, "Diary of a Young Girl."

I love it when I have to tell them to put their books away, so that they can focus on what we are doing at that moment.

With Phoenix still experiencing triple digits, I hope that when the temps cool down, the students' interest in reading won't cool off.

Summer Break is over ALREADY!

My summer is over and I am not sure when it ever started. I certainly did travel a little (emphasis on little) .... Sedona and Pinetop. I taught summer school and now I am facing the first week back to school. I wish I knew where the time went.

Well, another school year, another group of munchkins to corrupt!
