It really is true what they say. There really are 6 applicants for every job opening out there. I have been lucky enough to turn my part-time job into a full-time job. But it isn’t as easy as it sounds. Because I work at a public university, we had to advertise the position even though [...]
Of my community college teaching career. I am taking a break from teaching to focus on my doctoral work and research for more possible articles. I am torn about this. It has been really fun to teach and I have really enjoyed it. It has been hard and it has been trying and frustrating as [...]
I’m in Louisville. Attending my first 4C’s conference- the conference on college composition and communication. I hope to present my research here next year. It’s sureal to think that this world of conferencing is now a permanent part of my life. Networking and going to the right sessions, etc., are now somehow super important. I [...]

I know that no one is making me go to school. It is something I have chosen for myself and I am proud of my accomplishments. I was the first in my family to get an advanced degree and will be the first with a PhD and chances are good that I’ll be the only [...]
Well, today wraps up my first week of work. I can say that it has been an easier transition than I had hoped for. Thank you Kellie for creating an in-home daycare that my kids love so much today they could barely manage to say good-bye to me. Oh wait…today they didn’t even say good-bye they [...]
I am soon hanging up my SAHM hat. I have to say that I am jumping out of my skin with excitement to get back to the world of work. I start on Monday and it can’t come soon enough as I really am at my wits end at home with the kids. I love [...]
I have a job. I am excited about it. So very excited about it. I think I took the best job for me. I took a graduate assistanship at the university where I am working on my PhD. I had another interview at a community college and it was for a full-time instructor/coordinator position for [...]
Thanks for all your kind words about my photog business. It has been in the making for a long time and I am happy to finally have it be “official.” I certainly won’t get rich-as my availability is quite limited–as I have two kids, go to school, serve on the board of a non-profit, am [...]
Check out what I did today. Back tomorrow with a “real” post.
