Geez Louise, Not sure what happened this week. One moment I'm living and blogging each moment and the next I'm stymied, sullen and struggling for words. Nancer gave me a good talking to today and straightened me out. When I told her I had no ideas for my blog this week and couldn't even think of one creative thing for Creativity Thursday, she ran through a list of topics in 30 seconds that all would have been great: Our IDIOT governor, #1 Son's Birthday, one sentence about not feeling like writing. This is why Nancer is one of the great writing teachers of our age.
On this beautiful Saturday I'm feeling more upbeat. I have less than 40 teaching days left and they're all going to be boldly audacious. Husbandman and I walked along Ted Turtle Trail today and hopped over a chattering creek. We skyped with 20 Something in the morning and there was laughing. Also #1 Son turned 21 today at 8:30 am and we are heading out for a birthday dinner at a favorite eatery. I don't have 2 children any more. I have 2 adults. WILD!
I could have written about my somewhat upsetting run in with boar glue. I could have written about the new Frida Kahlo exhibit in Detroit. I could have written about my fabulous book club book. I could have written about the clean up dance parties we've been having in Room 200. I'm not sure exactly what happened, but this much I know. I'm back in the game.

glad you are back!!
The picture is amazing as are you!
You have been dearly missed! I think I've solved the boar glue issue. Very happy about this because it has been very disturbing cleaning Pickles. I'm so glad you are back!

Blog inspiration: we could plant some milkweed at school! :)

Yay, NR! Love that woman!

A milkweed garden would be v. cool. I love monarchs. Let's do it.
I'm so glad. I was concerned, but I didn't want to stress you out by asking for more blogs. It was a conundrum.
Your absence was noted. And your return, celebrated. Hooray!
