I told my ninth graders that their exam bonus was to draw me a picture that made me laugh. Ladies and Gentlemen...I give you Luke...😂 This pretty much epitomizes this kid in my class all year. He can drive me loco, but I can't help but love him!

A Mom Reality Check…
I came home after my psychology session and told my mom that I was positive my hair was falling out. "Are you sure?" she asked. "I mean did you see the clump of hair in my garbage can today?" "Oh, please! That was nothing compared the animal I found under your bed from all of … Continue reading A Mom Reality Check…
I Noticed…
I have extremely thick curly hair. And my hair sheds like crazy! I distinctly remember a time when our upstairs shower was not draining. Mom opened up the drain and basically pulled out an entire wig. I mean no exaggeration, we could have donated the thing to Locks of Love it was so much hair. … Continue reading I Noticed…
The Days After Chemo Number Two
Once again, I am feeling really good - no nausea, no major fatigue, and I didn't even have the weird red face flush that I got last time around .

Chemotherapy Treatment Number Two
I was a little nervous for this one. My lack of symptoms from the last treatment made me think that this one would be my doozy! But I guess my body is stronger than the average bear because this one was easier than the first...no pain, no reactions, no symptoms. And best of all, it … Continue reading Chemotherapy Treatment Number Two
It’s Official: I Work with the Best People in the World

This box could only be from one group of people...teachers. When I opened it, hand-cut construction hearts surrounded goodies to take with me to chemo. My beautiful colleagues and … Continue reading It’s Official: I Work with the Best People in the World

I would … Continue reading Cancer Fighting Super Lunch
I’m Not Ready to be Ready
It started with missing out... Tuesday was a Christmas craft party at my friend Ana's house. Christmas is her favorite time of year, and she loves nothing more than putting on the Christmas Glee soundtrack and making crafts with her friends. And I love nothing more than spending time with people, being crafty, eating, and … Continue reading I’m Not Ready to be Ready
A Letter to STUCO and Mr. Davidson
Dear STUCO, I want you to know that I am so proud of you all. You have worked tirelessly for the past few months putting together a coffee house to remember. The decorations looked amazing! Unraveling those banners on the wall gave me goosebumps. And I know some of you put in way more hours … Continue reading A Letter to STUCO and Mr. Davidson
Healthy and Ready for Round 2
I saw my doctor yesterday. It was my first follow-up since chemo number one. I think I was subconsciously a little apprehensive about this appointment. Maybe I, like my students, thought that all would happen during round one. As if I would get to the doctor and he would say I'm so sorry but your … Continue reading Healthy and Ready for Round 2
