Bad News / Good News?

 
The big news this week is that we are losing our Regional Director.  Johanne Jacob is retiring after 13 years with the Haut-Saint-Jean region.  Everyone is dreading this transition.  So many changes ahead and how many of us really embrace change?  I am happy for Johanne and her family of course but she is going to be hard to replace.  I feel sorry for her successor as he or she will have very big shoes to fill-'just saying'.
I am supposed to add tags/labels to this blog.  Doesn't that mean I should write something worth tagging?  That is the hardest part of this exercise, I think.  I'm blocking on my blogging!  Tag-you're it!

Very Little About Me

In case you are wondering who I am and why you should read this blog I'll tell you a bit about myself.  I am currently a library assistant but I also have accumulated almost 55 years of wisdom as a daughter, sister,  wife, mother.  You get the picture!  I'm not sure this qualifies me as an expert on anything but occasionally I come up with something that sounds relatively intelligent. Actually the very thought of me having a blog is absurd as I am not that accustomed to stating my opinions-not that I don't have them!
The truth be told I am only starting this blog as an assignment but why not have some fun with it?
the most difficult part so far has been finding a blog address that was not already in use!  Who would have thought that someone else would already have picked-'sinking' or 'you'vegottobekidding' or thisisdrivingmecrazy'.  I guess I am not the only frustrated blogger out there. Just saying- I did not expect it to take so long.

Foggy Brain

Did you ever have one of those days when nothing seems to go as planned?  Usually it starts with the alarm not going off or just simply ignoring it when it does!  Yeah, we've all been there-right.  After such a great start you find yourself in a brain fog for the next while.
  One Story Time Mom said to me this morning, "You've been calling them (meaning the children) by the wrong names all day?" Oops!   And here I thought Story Time was going so well!
