I started a new chapter of life today..................................

I am saddened to be writing this next line and tears stream down face as they have all day long....I was told today that I will no longer be at Stony Point. I have been "reassigned" to East Alexander Middle School.

You know me well enough by now to know that the only way I process my emotions is through this blog...so here it goes.....

I am so sad to be leaving behind my Bryson and the daily memories I will be missing out on (insert MANY tears here)......
I am so sad to be leaving kids that I have watched grow for 6 years of my career....
I am so sad to be leaving a staff that I love as my own family.....
I am so sad to be leaving behind a school that I love more than any school I have ever stepped foot in.....
I am so sad to be leaving the familiar for the unknown.....

I like to have control of my life and in this situation I feel as if I have lost complete control which is probably the part that saddens me the most.....

I know that there so many worse things in life....and I in no way want to discount those that are in such greater need than me.....

I am so thankful to everyone that listened to me cry today and supported me today...and all the sweet comments, texts and messages do mean a lot.....I just really wish this wasn't the way to start Summer break......

In the end I will overcome this and it will become clear (ONE day) why this happened...

I am so thankful for the journey I have traveled at SP and every person and child I have crossed paths with, will only make me a better person in the end!

Here are some positives:

I am happy for a new challenge....
I am happy for new faces.....
I am happy to reconnect with old friends and past students.....
I am happy that it is summer and by August I will be stronger than this day.....

As Brooks said with every job doesn't always come compassion and this is very true...but I will be the strong one in the end!

I have prayed really hard for the past few days because my gut (which is normally right) told me this was coming, I just wish I didn't feel so blindsided......MOVING ON!!!

I can't say thanks enough nor can I list each of you that have been on my side today.....but know I love and appreciate each of you!!!!!!!!!!

I will continue to SHIINE because that's what I have been taught to do at SP!

Much love to you all.......HAPPY SUMMER, Alysha

a coach’s wife.

 post #4 of #6 for the 2023 year.  this topic is going to be touchy, not well received-i am certain by some-and possibly controversial. thats your warning.... i make blog posts for an outlet, started 13 years ago as a healing outlet, lead to a sharing outlet, has dwindled over the years, but the purpose has ALWAYS been the same...an outlet.  i want to start this one with a few pieces of background knowledge 1-because i am not new to this rodeo and 2-because i have learned over the years and reflected on situations that lead me to believe i have decent knowledge of this topic .. i am mostly a soccer mom...also a tennis mom and a cheer mom, but mostly a soccer mom (no secret in that), but before i was that. i was AND still am a coach’s  wife. you see brooks has coached longer than we have been married. he has coached for 20 years.....20 STRAIGHT years....its not like here or there or a fill in, its not like a season a year, its like multiple seasons a year, multiple te...

The end of summer, my new love for RUNNING, my fears for the future, preparing for fall....

There is so much I want to say.....I think it would take several posts, but I am going to try and condense into one so that I can spend the remaining hours of summer break preparing for the next school year..... We have had such a GREAT summer and I am so sad to see it go, but there is a smidgen of excitement to think about Fall, Thanksgiving, Christmas, 2015, etc....I am so thankful for the time that I have had to make memories with my babies. The days of doing nothing were very limited.....from the beach, swimming, soccer camp, preparing for the royal celebration, Carowinds, Discovery Place, free movies...... Discovery Place We celebrated our sweet (not a baby anymore) Britan turning 3 (tree, in her words). It was a magical day and she's still talking about how Sofia came to her house with her horse. There is no way possible we could have pulled off such a celebration without the help of our family. My goal in life is to create memories that will last forever and my cr...

a struggling senior mom.....

 happy tuesday!  as i reflect on my 2023 vision board there is one glaring thing i am behind on...blogging....and when i set goals i complete them so here i am! you will see me 5 more times this 2023 year to mark this off the board! i have a couple topics in my head, but being that it is summer---i am starting here. i am in the phase of summer slipping away and it makes me sad, but i have tried so hard this summer to enjoy, not rush and truly soak it in.  this has been a defining summer for me. bryson is weeks away from his senior year. and its HARD. possibly the hardest part i recall in this parenting journey. tears fill my eyes as i type as they have for weeks when i let myself think that this is it. it's almost over. this phase is nearing the end. and the next phase may hold sweet, precious times as well, but dang the not knowing hurts! i have tried my very best to be present. be in the moment. although then i have tears. again. i keep reliving all the small things, th...
