    Our Last Day Together

    It’s one of those days that happen, when later people ask you, “What were you doing the day Elvis Presley died?” or “What were you doing on September 11th, 2001?”  I don’t think I will ever forget March 13th, 2020.  At the time, I had no clue the impact it would have on my life or the lives of my students.  It was just another day of hustle and bustle in the classroom.  However, looking back on the conversations of that day, I get “chill bumps.” I remember standing in front of the classroom trying to convince my students how important it was for them to get into ”high gear”…

    A Treadmill Angel

    Lord have mercy on all of us out of shape, over-weight ladies! I was watching a popular television show yesterday where women trade lives with other women.  The first woman had to start eating junk food and learn to relax more – I DO NOT have that problem at all. The second woman was forced to do three hours of exercise each day for a week. Yes, she cried.  I couldn’t believe the first lady exercises that much every day of her life! That’s totally insane!!! I bet she actually cheats. Don’t you?   Anyways, fast forward to today.  After I got home from work, I decided to try to COMMIT…
