The Personal Blog of a Gen X Mom.
I guess the title pretty much sums up what life has been like for the past four weeks for me. I have shingles and this is something I never thought I would experience in my 40's. It's been a wild ride finally getting a diagnosis, because not only View Post
Happy Mid-November! It definitely feels like fall in Mississippi. We've had some very cool mornings here lately. I am thankful for the change of seasons, but I am NOT ready for it to be cold. I'm 47 and the older I get, the worse the cold seems View Post
I still can't believe we are this far into 2021. I am here for it, though. October usually ushers in a bit of cooler weather for us. We've had our False Fall a couple of weeks ago when it was in the low 60's and breezy in the mornings and only View Post
I can't believe the last time I posted to my blog was in July! I can remember when I first started blogging and I couldn't wait to post every single day. I was also a stay-at-home mom at the time and blogging was my therapy I think. Ha! I still View Post

If you read posts on how to blog most of them always tell you that if you haven't posted in a while, never start a post out apologizing for having been away so long, and don't mention not posting regularly. Well, I'm hard-headed, so while I probably View Post
I have a lot to catch up on here. I haven't posted in a couple of weeks, but life gets really demanding sometimes, especially toward the end of the school year. The week before last was spent on my feet a lot for days being a proctor while some View Post
Let's start with good things. The weather, aside from this rainy day, has been absolutely gorgeous here. It's so wonderful to see the green returning to the trees and grass. Everything looks lush and beautiful, and for that I am thankful. I was View Post
School is back in session for me! The only class I have had in the building all year was Pre-K. I have taught virtual library lessons to kindergarten through fifth grade online. Monday, our kids came back to the building, and what a week it was! View Post
