THESE are the days.....
Nostalgia has taken me over now that I am here at the beach.......the kids and I had a smooth ride.......maybe one of the smoothest and fastest we have had to the beach......no traffic, only stopped for lunch and gas and let the miles and music get us here.......this house is lovely.....We are in Duck NC, which is a part of the island I have never stayed on.......we had always stayed in Nags Head......so seeing the difference in the vegetation etc is awesome and it is a quai

Setting Sail.......
Today my kids and I set sail for the OBX for a week......it has truly been a marathon to get here.......anybody that teaches in September knows what I mean, and single mothers too lol:) So many beginning of the year stuff to attend to.....and this trip is bringing up all the feels.....as I have said, I normally do not travel during the school year because leaving plans for a week is the equivalent of packing for a week's trip with a baby, or three babies lol:) SO much is requ

You're blocked!!......
I think the idea of "blocking" somebody in the social media world is interesting......and I don't think my feelings about it are maybe like everybody else's, or at least like most......first of all I do not take it lightly......I think it should only be used in circumstances where that is the only option......because for me there are a lot of things in the undercurrent of doing it that make it seem like a big deal, not to be taken lightly, and it is essentially saying "I do n

The snowblower story....
This came to me yesterday, and I thought it was absolutely in line with my terror train of thought yesterday and a good illustration of it:)......Not long after my ex husband left it snowed.........and it snowed........and it snowed......we had 30 inches total......and at the time as Covid raged on, and I was suddenly on my own, and having returned to work, overwhelmed maybe doesn't begin to cut what I was feeling........I was in full blown emotional devastation in every sing

She would be terrified......
It will be almost 6 years since my marriage ended this January......and another year and a half since I ended a relationship where I felt betrayal creeping in again, and deception, and I was proven right a year ago......and here is the thing about trauma and betrayal specifically....it sticks to you, it really does and it creeps into so many parts of your life......and it takes an enormous amount of effort and energy to heal.....REALLY heal.......and anybody that knows me, or

Ouch, Ouch, Ouch,!!!!!!........
I have written the last couple of days some how 9/11 hit me deeply, and the remembering of it so fully this year hit a little deeper......and then it led to thinking of the amount of pain there is to carry in this world....and perhaps also thinking of it in terms of my own lifetime.....thinking what the last 50 years has handed me, the grief, the challenges, the pain......both on a global scale, and in my own life.......and I think maybe that is what I struggle with sometimes

My toxic trait.........
Well one of them;-) .........We all have them right?? Parts of ourselves that if we are lucky we can recognize are not the best parts, or the ones serving us in the best ways, or contributing to our highest good......And I think we come by them honestly.....either having them modeled for us or picking them up somewhere along the way.....and one of mine can be too much productivity......pushing myself too far.....or past the things I need to. Let me explain:) And why it is to

How about that.....???
I love dreams and the analyzing of them, and the wondering about them.....and this week I have been taking on a very vivid Odyssey in my dreams of safety, and what it feels like to be safe in somebody's energy.....and being responsible for keeping somebody safe.....and in some of my dreams it was my responsibility to my kids.....and in some it was the responsibility of the people in my life.....romantically....and it has been a stroll down memory lane.....one previous counter

All choked up.......
Yesterday I had written about September 11th and it still profoundly affects me.....as it does so many......we did a full minute of silence yesterday morning at school and some of my boys were being silly and laughing.....and that is total kid stuff.....kids laugh when they feel uncomfortable......but I very clearly expressed that it is not funny, or a reason to laugh, and for the first time in a long time we talked about it some....they had some questions or comments to make

September 11th 2001......
It is hard to believe that 25 years have gone by since that fate filled day......As I think back on that, it was a day that changed the trajectory of the world......similar to the pandemic, even though so different, but shifting the world from one place to another for sure....with the bridge in between burned, and with no way back to the old.....I was teaching that morning.....in another place......freshly out of college, and just beginning, and we had a morning news station

Totally torn......but I do miss it.....
I write often about the conflicting parts that live within me......and I have very different, and very strong parts of who I am that pull at me, and are for sure competing ones......A part of me.....my Taurus sun, and Leo Moon loved being married.......the tradition of it, for so long until I didn't....but having a home, and tending to all of it felt like me, still does a lot of the time.......and now, having been officially single for almost 6 years in a real sense.......and

It is sickening......
I have written recently about the part of healing where you stand in front of the mirror, and look at your role in all of it, and your accountability in what you allowed......and I had some moments yesterday that were just horrifying to me now........having a hard time imagining the version of me that was chasing love, and in the places...... with people that did the things that they did........and continually fighting to be good enough......working harder.....jumping higher.

Well that was a surprise!
I have been off since Friday and the entire weekend has been full of surprises......I had a loose "plan" for the weekend, and then it took flight.....didn't expect my huge car bill Friday, that feels likes eons ago all things considered......then I connected with a new client.....decided to pull the trigger for our big hike, also didn't expect the difficulty of that trail.......renovated my bathroom, and painted my hallway and trim.....and meal prepped! Ready for a great week

Rogue bathroom reno
So.......I have put myself in a bit of a spot today lol:) My intention when yesterday began, was to use the trim paint I already had to paint my bedroom and get some paint to paint my hallway......which I did......however I am still working on the hallway, because my bathroom got thrown into the mix somehow lol:) I cannot explain what happened really......the energy of the day swallowing me up.....It started with my wondering what would happen if........if I painted one of th

I have proof!
So yesterday's hike was no joke.....One of the top toughest trails we have done....and I had seen the rating before we went, but I guess I wanted to feel it was over exaggerated lol:) And we wanted to add it to our list, the kids loved how it looked, and agreed to give it a go....we have a bucket list of trails, both close, and some that will need to be traveled to.....we have knocked so many of them out.....and have so many to go:) And I have so many thoughts today about it.

Opportunity and adventure! Let's GO:)
I have very much been experiencing life in the space of ebb and flow as of late....something challenging will happen or bubble up, and then there will be something amazing, and the contrast has been on repeat, and so noticeable.....and it has been kind of curious not only to experience but also to observe......so in that spirit.....I had my car serviced yesterday, leaving me with a $1600 responsibility, and I still need to put 4 tires on it next week......I know ugh right....

Whose the breadwinner??
I think this has been one of the more surprising parts of my story for me, and certainly where the pressure increases.......I am the breadwinner in my family of 3......in every way....and while my ex does pay child support, and I am grateful for it and it helps, it is a drop in the bucket in this economy for our kids........that is true, it doesn't even cover our entire food bill for the month, let alone the rest......and I don't have to preach to anybody about the expense th

Shame.......
I believe deeply that shame is one of the most toxic of all emotions......and when it lives in somebody it paralyzes them, and causes them so many more problems......and some people live their lives in a way that compounds their shame......or in ways that frees them from it.....but I have a deep belief that shame is not productive, and we should never attempt to shame another person no matter what......and when I look back on the stories I have lived through I have really don

Love......
I love love.....I really do.......in all of its forms.....the love we hold for our people......friends, children, partners.....ALL of it.......and I am not casual about the expression of it at all.....I hold it in a sacred spot......and it has been the thing that has transformed my life in the most wonderful ways, and also harmed me too......and I think I am narrowing in on where the hurt lies for me......I am good at loving people......again not perfect, at all.....but good

First day vibes......
Yesterday I touched down in 5th grade.....and it was different, for sure.....I walked past my old classroom, and my team......and we hugged when we passed near the office.:) My people:) And my new team is super sweet and welcoming, despite my feeling really NEW..... the newness of it all felt squeaky for sure......like new sneakers....needing time to be broken in some, and feel like your own......I feel like I will fit in great with them, and we will make a great team.......a
