I’m still here!
As many of you know, I started a new teaching position at the beginning of the school year, I am one of three special education teachers at a local high school and have about twenty students on my case load- which means a lot of tracking, monitoring, mentoring, and IEP stuff. I also direct teach […]

I’ve had quite a few days of feeling “off”, I’m sure its a matter of frustration with the State of Indiana – after being on unemployment since January, I was “selected” for an audit of my claim, it took a month of non-payment for unemployment audit to finally get settled (I did all I was […]

Layered Meatloaf… who knew would be such a hit. The story behind the ever evolving meatloaf recipes (I have dozens…) is when Mike and I first moved in together, I made dinner one night… meatloaf, mashed potatoes and some vegetable (I don’t remember now… probably green beans), as we sat down Mike informs me that […]

With all the job applications and disappointments lately, my creativity has been sort of lacking. I’m still on the hunt for that awesome position that will be my end all be all position… I know, aren’t we all? I miss truly being in an educational setting, whether virtual or in person, I love both. 🙂 […]

With constant looking for positions and touching base with friends and former colleagues, the hunt continues. So I decided it was high time to break out the wok and revisit an old favorite! I hit a snag though, I had intended to include broccoli but alas… my broccoli was not in good shape for human […]

I’ve wondered off and on for years now, if I should take some of my experiences and share them with others. There’s a lot being said about education, teachers, administrators, etc. these days and I sometimes wonder if anyone would really like to know one educator’s experiences with some of the insanity that this career […]

I’m hoping that this week shows some progress… so frustrated… as most know, my position was eliminated (again) at Campagna, so far no pay from unemployment because they have been unsuccessful in reaching Campagna… UGH… but hopefully that situation is resolved by Tuesday. Just as an informational bit here… if the case worker for unemployment […]

So its been a snowy week of job hunting, job hunting… job hunting! I have made a lot of leftovers this week… hence the limit of recipes coming in… lol… Really its more like by the time I’ve spent 3-4 hours scouring the local districts and job boards for possible jobs… I’m over being on […]

One of the things that was impressed upon me as I went through my initial teaching program and later really pushed during my administration program was to reflect on teaching, learning, and leadership each day. The idea was to be able to see weaknesses and strengths, to evaluate what went wrong and celebrate what went […]

Happy Friday Y’all! Sorry I haven’t been spending a lot of time uploading recipes but as most know, my position and program were shut down and now…Â Its the never-ending job hunt, but I’m hopeful and confident something will come along. I’m applying for all kinds of things that would be so interesting and right up […]
