Outcome over Income. Not in this economy.

“Teachers teach for the outcome, not the income.” That sound nice, doesn’t it? Until you really think about it. It’s true to a degree, but don’t get it twisted. If teaching was a totally unpaid gig, there would be a whole lot fewer of us. Bills don’t pay themselves. Don't get me wrong. I love … Continue reading Outcome over Income. Not in this economy. →

Be Present for Today

It's Back to School Eve for me again! This time last year, I spent the day coloring with my son and relaxing. Today, I've got some appointments to keep. Booked and busy, as they say. People are going to ask how my summer went. I always have issues with coming up with an answer. I … Continue reading Be Present for Today →

Day by Day

It's been a week, friends. I don't think I've really been accomplishing the things I'd like to. Mostly because I'm spending so much of my "free" time being too tired to think. The children have been extra challenging over the past month. Many days, its all I can do to get back home without crying … Continue reading Day by Day →

Day 385: Grads

This spring, my son will graduate middle school. This summer, I'll earn a B.A. in sociology. I'm not nearly as excited as I should be. Both events are huge milestones for us, but I have little idea where to go from here. My son is going to high school, of course. He's still got time … Continue reading Day 385: Grads →

Day 343: Doing the Most

I have been thinking about my productivity quite a bit. I feel like I should be doing more. My students should be learning more. I should be working harder in school. My house should be cleaner. My family could be happier. At the same time, I know I'm doing all I can right now. I … Continue reading Day 343: Doing the Most →

Day 299: An Update

I didn't paint my face yesterday. I wanted to. I had every intention of doing it, but I got distracted making dinner and cleaning up afterwards. I did get to dress up a little today. Church is one of my only excuses to put on nice clothes. I didn't wear any makeup today either. Sometimes, … Continue reading Day 299: An Update →

Day 296: Workload

I took this day to get through some of my heavy academic workload. One of my classes is suggesting that to get an A in this class, I am required to do between 18 and 25 hours of work per week. Just for that class. Not counting the other two classes I'm dealing with for … Continue reading Day 296: Workload →

Day 293: School Sucks

The second half of my semester started today and judging from the look of these syllabi, these people think I have nothing better to do than kill myself for this degree. I have a job. I have a family. I should sleep every now and then. Not fair at all.

Day 278: Academia

I'm good at school. I've always been an amazing student and have become a wonderful educator. I just wrote a beautiful paper for my collective behavior class. It felt really good to put together and I sounded like I knew exactly what I was talking about. Stats, quotes, personal opinions, the whole nine. It's beautiful. … Continue reading Day 278: Academia →
