A Virtual Writer's Notebook
Being a teacher carries over into many aspects of my life: the way I interact with children and adults, the way I use my "teacher voice" when my husband is acting up, the way I view the world as a wide open place to learn, and the way I want to capture every thought, image and encounter on paper. Hopefully this blog will help me to bottle and share at least a small piece of the world (and the way I view it) wih others.

"Summer Cat" Is Back
It's the first day of summer and already, I feel different. There is just something to be said for 9 full weeks off with nothing to do except what you choose. Today, no one talked to me, I didn't have to break up any arguments, and I didn't have anyone ask me any questions except, "How do those fit?" It was a joy to go shopping by myself and not have to feel rushed to finish before the mall closed (like I usually do on a weeknight, or when I am with my husband). I ate lunch and didn't have to ask anyone else what they wanted, or try to cram in some extra work while I shoveled in my food. I watched Rachael Ray and got a pedicure. Tomorrow I may go to the beach by myself. Life should be like this all year long. Man, I love summertime. :)

Yay! As a former teacher (albeit for only 1 year) I know how important that alone time is. Enjoy it while it lasts :)
