Where have I been?

Yes, I know I know. The frequency with which I should be blogging has been a total disgrace.  My schedule over the last year was insane.  I became a "traveling" teacher in every sense of the word. I went from having a small classroom space of my own to sharing multiple spaces in multiple buildings.  It was definitely a challenge for me, organizationally-speaking.  Then my car began to have transmission problems, so I began commuting to work by public transit.  I took the bus, the train, and the streetcar for an almost 3 hour round trip.  Oh, and did I mention that I started freelance teaching an after school class for extra money to save for our trip to Disneyland. Let's just say I wasn't home much.  That alone took a toll on the family as a whole.  After surviving all of that and more, blogging slipped way down the priority list. Many of my old vices have gone by the wayside and now I'm trying to rekindle my passions a bit.  I make no promises, but I will try to blog more often. Not even gonna try to recap the last year, so I will just begin anew with our recent trip to Disneyland.  I'll add that shortly!
