Bio
I am a high school English educator; however on most days I feel like an underpaid babysitter. I do like teaching (when I am able to do so) and would love to get additional degrees; nevertheless, I don't want to spend thousands of dollars on degrees and still be unhappy with a flawed system.

It's been a long time coming...

It has been a while since I've visited my friends here. According to my last post it was April of 2009. So much has happened in my life these past  two years. I was in a car accident in October 2009, that left me with a back injury that is painful on some days and in December of 2010 my dad died.  All has not been bad for me. I purchased a house in August of 2010.

These bumps in the road have taught me a few things about people and my life and I'm forever grateful for them.  As a result of these events, I have decided to live my life to the fullest and make some changes. Some of these changes may cause people in my personal life to no longer be a part of it. I'm also going to make some changes in my professional life because I realize that life is too short for me to live with regrets.

I am excited about these changes and I believe the best is yet to come!!
