I am doing NaBloPoMo this month. 30 blog posts in 30 days. Come join me. #nablopomo2022

Welcome to my first post of NaBloPoMo (National Blog Posting Month), 30 posts in 30 days! It is my first year participating and while I am excited about it, I am also a little nervous. It should be an interesting experience too!
November is my birthday month and this year it is the big 5-0. Yep, I turn 50 this year. So many thoughts about it but I will leave that for another day.
Anyway, this post is my 1,000th post! I’ve been blogging since January 2011. I had no idea what I was doing when I started my blog. I began using WordPress and then went back and forth with Blogger before finally deciding on WordPress. Oh, and I’ve changed my domain name a few times too. See, no idea. OK, maybe a little since I am still blogging. 😆😆
The best part about blogging has been the bloggers I’ve met and the support and encouragement they’ve given me. I’ve had a few rough years with running and being a teacher and they’ve all been there for me.
I am pleased to let you know that I survived Halloween. My kids were excited and they actually did well. We did our usual reading and writing. The rest of the day we did some fun Halloween sheets (math, word search, etc), watched movies, and played hot potato.
I was going to dress up as a cat but then remembered I had a witch’s hat. A simple and easy costume.

I made treats bags for my students. Too much? Did I over do it?
I am also linking up with Tuesday Topics! Make sure to join the linkup!
