Funny but true stories from the school to the burbs.
I was born in the suburbs, raised in the suburbs and plan to grow old in the suburbs. Not quite as exciting as being born in the Bayou but that’s all I got. I am a teacher, mother, wife, friend. I live in a neighbourhood that is so close, it may be classified as a cult. My life should be boring…but it’s not.

I’ve nominated you for a sunshine award. Hope your ok with that. If your interested just follow the link. http://1tric.wordpress.com/
Thanks!
Thank you for subscribing to my blog. I am delighted to make your acquaintance here, and plan to browse your blogs to my heart and mind’s content. BTW, your Beagle avatar is totally cute. My younger sister has two Beagles, and they are great characters.
I have nominated you for the sisterhood of the world blogger award. You do not have to accept it. All I really wanted to do was to put a link on my site to yours so others may find you and enjoy your writing as much as I have .http://mythoughtsonapage.com/
Thanks so much! I’ll check it out.
Thanks for coming back. I deleted your link yesterday by mistake and couldn’t remember all of your title, except princess, (which I am too) and Teacher, (which I was). WHEW!
Why did you leave teaching? I am on leave this year because last year was such a shitshow but I plan to go back p/t in the fall. Just wondering what else is out there.
busy reading your other posts now… I think I should have a category titled “Rants” too! I think you have two blogs? I’m following both anyway… am I right that I read somewhere you quit teaching this year? I’ll go back and re-read that blog, I remember it as a bit of a soul searching piece.
Soul-searching, whining…depends on who you ask. 😉
Yes, we should all have a rant category!
I came to your blog via facebook post someone shared (your Snow Day post…it’s a crazy winter this year in Michigan.). I’ve enjoyed reading your other posts…you do such a wonderful job of saying exactly what I and so many other educators think. Thank you…I can’t wait to read more! 🙂
Thank YOU for your kind comments. It’s been a real treat getting to know readers from all over the globe. Stay safe in Michigan!
I nominated your awesome blog for an award– Come pick it up before it tarnishes.
Gosh, shucks, thanks!
And another award, just for good measure. Aaaand I like your blog.
PrincessTeacher! You’ve got yourself the Liebster award:) > http://thesalmonyatra.wordpress.com/2014/03/30/the-salmon-meets-her-neighbors/
I’ll be teaching elementary school soon, after 2 years of being an engineer- so your input will be much appreciated when I’m in over my head!
Wow! Thanks so much. Good luck with the little ankle-biters. What a neat job shift – engineer to elementary school teacher. The kiddies are adorable at that age. Make sure you always have fun.
Thank you for the follow. As someone who’s also a teacher, I can relate to much of what you say. Great blog! 🙂
Thank you for the follow. I am not a teacher but have worked with teenage learners in theatre, and look forward to reading future posts of yours.
