It Has Been a Year

If I'm going to talk the talk, I need to walk the walk.  I have not contributed the blog in over a year.  Lots has happened.  I told somebody the other day that I have a blog.  Well, it needs to be an active blog. The blog doesn't have to be perfect.  Writing is a way to unwind and relax.  I think you call that a hobby.
Teachers report to school tomorrow for professional development.  This will be my 12th year in the classroom.  I taught 4 years and took a 10 year break to raise babies and pursue a career nursing.  I felt called to both professions.  Ironically, my nursing career brought me back to the classroom. People don't believe me, but nursing and teaching have a lot of common ground.
Back to the start of school.
It is a fresh slate.  I've spent the last week getting the classroom ready. There is something about the back to school section in a store.  I love the stuff!
Praying for a great year.  Praying for my students.  Praying for my coworkers.  Pray, pray, praying.
R1 is starting a new journey.  R2 is starting up football.  It is going to be a busy fall.
