Right Now

I am so enjoying the now.
Right now I am savoring the summer days with Owen.

Right now I am loving being with him all the time as he

takes his first hesitant steps and then beams with pride
invents new games to play with us
feeds himself cereal, yogurt, chili and pasta with the same short silver spoon with a curved handle his momma used


Feeling so blessed and living in a dream come true.

Chchch Change...

So this summer marks the longest I have lived at one address as an adult and the longest I have held the same job at the same school also...pretty big stuff! I have to admit my gypsy itch started coming on a bit toward the end of the school year. I like change. I thrive on it. So...

Change at Work:

1. We'll be getting a new principal this coming school year. That promises for some change, though maybe not right away.
2. We are revamping the intervention program a bit and targeting the mid-level "bubble" kids instead of the very low.
3. I am going to start using a new system for behavior, though I'm not sure what yet.

Change at home:

1. got rid of our old (8 yr. old? 10 yr. old?) couch and replaced it with a low, modern, streamlined sectional with built-in end tables.
2. removed my desk from the loft nook and made a reading nook with the blue chair that matched the old couch. It's cozy!
3.still working on decluttering. this is one of my major struggles. i can't even part with a soy sauce packet. (it's useful, or could be!)


The change feels good! There are some more in the works, I'll keep you posted! ha.
