hi i'm alive!

i must first say i'm sorry for my lack of posting but i've been on vacation and most teacher's know that vacation means we run all those errands that we can't run during the year, we make all those appointments we can't make during the school day, etc.  not to mention i decided to declutter my life at home and well i have a lot of crap.  yes there i said it crap!  i have been on break since december 9th but i taught three days of intersession and then my mother came to visit for a week.  it was great having her!  i then took a personal day and caught up on my dvr and the next thing i knew i'm going back to work in two days.  i have enjoyed this long break but i think i would have enjoyed it more if i had been a tad more productive.  i was very productive but i know i could have done more.  i also got sick which never makes anything fun.  i just wanted to let yall know where i have been and also that my blog will be undergoing a makeover so get excited!!!
