“If you don't know where you are going any road can take you there”

it's been awhile, ya think?

so, i've been on a blogging hiatus for about a year and a half...i feel like i've been running a sprint in a marathon in the past 18 months or so.

injuries, surgeries, stitches, casts, hospitalizations...that took up some of the time.

new middle school, high school graduation, vpk, a move to a new town...took up some of the rest.

i finished my acp (alternative certification program) and am now a full-fledged, florida no-longer-termporarily-but-fully-certified teacher...it's about time, after 20 years in education!

i lost a business, restarted a business, started a new business, taught full-time, helped with a pilot program for summertime for ESOL students entering kindergarten.

i've made some amazing new friends, parted ways with some others, and lost a few to heaven.

i've found out that i have thyroid issues, have gained weight, and have learned a lot about hypothyroidism.

and i realize every.single.day. how truly blessed i am. i have an amazing family with a husband of almost 21 years, three great kids, a job i love, two businesses with fantastic potential, and my future's so bright i have to wear shades!

so here i am. hoping to continue the fun of living off the beaten path. i'm having a busy summer and have lots of projects on which i've been procrastinating. stick around and check it out to see how much i actually get accomplished!
