So, it’s been more than a year since I posted a blog. The longer I went, the harder it became for me to get to it.

Kind of like exercising!!

But unlike exercising, I like blogging and sharing my adventures (and frustrations). It is a new school year, and with it comes a New Year’s resolution…get back to blogging.

So this is one is going to be a little house keeping, a little catching up, and not a lot of stress about making it great!

Last year was full of major changes…I changed the grade I teach, the school site I teach at and the team I teach with. To put it shortly, as the 17-18 school year came to a close, I could not fathom teaching any more!! I was surfing job web sites for ANYTHING else I could do. My daydreaming led me to wishing I worked at an Amazon warehouse packing boxes of happiness (after all, isn’t that what Amazon boxes bring everyone, happiness?!). But they weren’t hiring!

I did continue teaching and I am glad I did! I am at a much better place!! With that said, I am still a teacher, working for the same district, so putting up with much of the same bullshit. I am just surrounded by happier, more like minded people now. So I went from living alone on Castaway island, to living with company on Gilligan’s Island!! (more on that later)

So Getty-up…I already have a coconut tree full of stories from last year and only a few weeks into this school,  I can already tell this is shaping up to be a very entertaining year!!!!

Lift your wine glass with me in a toast to being back!
