Not-Lazy Sunday in Bed

Not-Lazy Sunday in Bed

I’m running out of time on Hiro II. I’m actually overdue–the manuscript should have been sent to fellow TDPer, the awesome and patient Erin Zarro, on Friday. But we’ve talked and I’m still working and that is a thing I will not get down on myself about. It’s important to both of us (to all […]

Suddenly Good Credit? Dumb Things Not to Fall For

So in case you were looking for something not to do, take my advice and don’t get a tablet from Verizon unless you are absolutely sure that’s what you want and how you want to go. We are an internet household, but we had basically one internet device per person. So the child’s guests were

Back to School

Back to School

Somehow, weirdly, this seems to be my 16th year of back-to-school time while actually working in a school? I’m not sure how that happened. But I love where I am, so no matter how weirded out I get, don’t expect that to be changing before year #17. Much of what I’m doing is exactly the

Progress Check…Not Much, But Some!

Progress Check...Not Much, But Some!

So July 4th. Independence Day. I printed the calendars. I did not finish setting up the rules, laying out the boundaries, or putting the darn things on the wall. Nope. None of that. I have, however, been doing better at the things that I was going to create the calendars to help me do. I’m

Struggling With Routine

Struggling With Routine

Sometimes (most times) I could really stand to get into a rut. A very specific rut, understand–the one where I do the things I need to do every day, without really noticing so I don’t have the chance to go “naw, I don’t really feel like doing that today.” I mean, three times I’ve earned
