So, back story here really quick...this is a PERSONAL experience that I have found rather unsettling and I am trying to figure out... HOW WOULD YOU PROCESS THIS? I come from an average American family - skeletons and all. I grew up with pretty strict parents, a hard working dad and a stay-at-home mom. I … Continue reading How Would You Process This?

What Is NOT Being Published
Morning Folks. Ironically, I just asked myself, "Wonder what ever happened to those kids that got caught abusing snapchat?" Seems someone is in my head. That scares me. I open up my phone and what do I see, an update from the local newspaper that read: WOW! Now sadly, I personally know one of these … Continue reading What Is NOT Being Published
¿WWYD?
What Would You Do? Scenario... you get paid to do a job. You are not trained but you figure most of it out by watching and expanding on the small amount of training by a co-worker who knows just a tad bit more than you. Years pass, you get better at said job, though it … Continue reading ¿WWYD?
Do I Have A Target On Me?
Seems my entire life to ONE question has gone unanswered…do I have a target on me? I ask this because it seems that while I watch others get away with things with no one saying a word, including myself. Yet, the minute I attempt to cross the line, I have people on me like …well, … Continue reading Do I Have A Target On Me?
Pondering the Past…and Future
I know this post will be like kicking a hornets nest, but it's heavy on my chest. It is NEVER acceptable for a small group of students to ride with teachers, in said teachers personal vehicle, while 30+ others watch and climb aboard a bus. Yes! There are extenuating circumstances where it MIGHT have to … Continue reading Pondering the Past…and Future
You Do NOT Know Me…
...but I am human. I bleed when you cut me, (pass out if I see blood), I cry when I am sad, I love with all my heart, I have no hidden agenda, I have no malicious intent and I love a challenge. That is just a little bit about ME. Now that I have … Continue reading You Do NOT Know Me…
What I HATE Most About Watching Youth Sports
It's no secret that I'm a competitive person. So it's not surprising that my offspring is also competitive. So, after 10+ years of watching my VERY competitive daughter play soccer, I must say, I have acquired a lot of sideline experience. As a coach, I heard attitude from parents and a few kids, that were … Continue reading What I HATE Most About Watching Youth Sports
Favoritism….another form of Bullying
So, I tend to talk a lot about "bullies", "society"band "lack of common sense". Why stop now? Well I'm glad you and I agree on something.Having been a coach and parent of active kids, I receive emails from our local parks & rec department from time to time. This one has me most upset. Why? The first … Continue reading Favoritism….another form of Bullying
Enough is ENOUGH!!
CAUTION: Rant ahead!! Proceed with caution.When is enough finally ENOUGH? Schools operate on an entirely set of different rules than most of society and I get that. Especially when it comes to raising funds etc. However, when did it become acceptable to charge $50+ for a yearbook that does not even get into the students' … Continue reading Enough is ENOUGH!!
Message to the Young People Of America
First of all, it's America....not 'mercia. It's time to quit short cutting things and chopping up the English language. That which is acceptable for social media is NOT always acceptable in mainstream life. We are embarking upon Summer break for our youth and I noticed that it seems to be a very trying time for … Continue reading Message to the Young People Of America
