What Am I Doing Here?

The short answer is, I'm completing a class assignment. This week we are charged with creating a blog for the purposes of professional reflection and networking. This is wierd for me because I am not a classroom teacher at the moment. In fact, I haven't been one for many moments; since November, 2000 to be exact. That's when I left the glamourous world of teaching for the slightly less glamourous world of raising two kids and doing various odd jobs (some with paychecks, some without) on the periphery of education. So here I sit, trying to figure out who my "professional network" is. Is it so-called stay-at-home-moms? Is it high school teachers like I used to be and may someday be again? Is it people who are somewhere in between? Is is all or none of those. I guess time will tell.
