Today seems to be the day everyone is digging into their inbox with gusto, myself included. After cleaning out all the junk, the gems quickly rose to the top. Paul Taubman, my gratitude guru, had the best post regarding resolutions that I have seen anywhere in the last 48 hours. Prior to reading his . . . → Read More: Be Do Have Tonight my husband and I ventured out into the pouring rain to go see Les Miserables. We got there early and grabbed our large bucket of popcorn, which we put a pretty good dent in before we even got inside the theatre. Once inside, it was gone before the trailers were finished. That's okay, because . . . → Read More: Les Mis! Last night I was watching the X Factor finals. I've been pulling for Carly since I saw her audition back in September. Last night she sang a Xmas song and after that there was a tribute from her classmates, piano teacher, and family. They all couldn't believe they were seeing her on TV. They were . . . → Read More: Not On TV….But…. I have spent much of the last five days processing, just like everyone else in our country – trying to find ways to help, trying to find solutions, feeling guilty I have so much in comparison, imagining the unimaginable, trying to explain the unexplainable, etc. Today I found myself at loose ends in trying to . . . → Read More: In Such Times A friend posted the following on Facebook yesterday afternoon…… It really made me stop and think and it drove a few points home that have crossed my mind over the past few days.

I want to be there with my colleagues for the early morning meeting taking place in every school today before the students . . . → Read More: Helpless Today my husband left to go back to NY early due to impending bad weather. I had a long list of things to keep me busy until we would watch the Pats game together tonight by texting. I went to the store. Did the usual cleaning and laundry, and then just didn’t want to do . . . → Read More: Only So Much Time Waking up to the morning news, for me, and I’m sure for you, began a day of processing unthinkable tragedy. I read a lot of Facebook posts, in addition to what the news stations offered. The one that held a beautiful message was by Jennifer Boykin, author of a blog I follow, Life After Tampons. . . . → Read More: And Now, What? Today is unimaginable, and yet, for me, totally imaginable. I was a kindergarten teacher. My classroom was the very first one inside the lobby door. Many times our lockdown drills made me aware that my room was the first place a gunman would go. Each time I covered the windows, locked the door, closed the . . . → Read More: Unimaginable…Or Not 12/12/12. The day, once again, the world was supposed to end. How could I have missed this? It could’ve ended as I was driving up 6A to bible study this morning. But it didn’t.
