Jefferson famously remarked that the only two certainties in life: death and taxes.I would add to this list that, without question, there will be a new educational initiative with a clever acronym each year for the rest of time. In fact, check out Greene County's cheat sheet of commonly used acronyms. For those of you keeping count, that's ten pages of educational acronyms...and I'm Continue Reading
Hoppy…no…Holy Easter…
As a child, I could count on Easter to always bring a few things: candy, white ruffled socks, a new hand-sewn dress (that ALWAYS matched my older sister), and the story of the resurrection tucked inside of our individual Easter baskets. I remember my mother plaiting my hair the night before to get the look of crimped hair; which, by the way, was very cool in the late eighties and early Continue Reading
Atheism is a non-prophet organization…
Sometimes, I imagine that I am back at the University of Georgia. I remember those lazy mornings as I tumbled out of bed, took a quick shower, put on some sort of jeans and walking shoes and catching the bus to the Student Learning Center. To my right, I got to peer into the most sacred of places on campus, Sanford Stadium, and dream of those Georgia Saturdays as I walked toward a big Continue Reading

I made plans for my parents to watch Bennett and put him in his crib on the night of a dear Continue Reading

I would click on the image to see a blogger do this correctly...but here it goes.The last six weeks have been a sleepless blur. The last few nights have gotten little B Bear a little closer to long stretches of sleep Continue Reading
Two-Cent Teacher Tuesdays
This morning has been peaceful at the Carringtons. After crying for an hour at 1 a.m. (and me refusing to feed him that early), Bennett slept until 5:30. Like most mothers of newborns, you have a moment of panic followed by a moment of celebration. My little boy is getting close to sleeping through the night on his own. I couldn't be more ready for a night of blissful eight hours Continue Reading
Did you hear about the pilot who always had work?
He was great at landing a job.And by he...I mean my husband.That's right. My husband is no longer a traveller. As of today, I am no longer a teaching, traveller's wife. After eleven wonderful years with Accenture, Steven began a new job with Slalom consulting. His clients will no longer be in different cities across the country. After four years of being a "commuter Continue Reading
