Bringing it Back!

The blog is back!

After some thoughtful consideration (and some kind words from a few of my readers), I've decided to bring back the blog.

This time around, though, it's going to be dedicated to my latest endeavor...teaching!

That's right. I'm now an English teacher at our local high school. I just started yesterday (Friday, 25th). This fall semester I will be teaching 12th grade British Literature, 10th grade Literature and Composition, and 9th grade Reading Support. In other words... A LOT for a first-year teacher!

I won't lie - I am completely nervous. At the same time, though, I'm excited as all heck! I don't know how in the world I'm going to balance being a full-time teacher and a full-time mom, but I WILL succeed at both.

This blog is going to be my record of all my upcoming adventures. You're welcome to join me for the ride. Just please know...this blog is NOT my classroom...grammar rules need not apply. ;)

Hi there! Glad to see you're back blogging. As a new teacher there are two blogs that I read you might be interested in: http://www.huffenglish.com/
and http://newteacherassistance.blogspot.com/
I hope you can get something out of them! Good luck with your new job-it will be both challenging and rewarding!
