Loved reading this! I love seeing how people spend their days. My goodness, you are BUSY. You must have a ton of energy (maybe the Starbucks helps? ;D ) to get by on so little sleep! Teachers are amazing.
ReplyDeleteP.S. That cat is adorable!
Don't you love teaching next to your BFF? (And leaving presents on her desk?) I am already mourning the arrival of my BFF's child (in four weeks) and her impending maternity leave. What the heck am I supposed to do fourth quarter ALL BY MYSELF (that's when all the students get crazy!).
ReplyDeleteOn another note, thank you for always reminding me to appreciate my short commute.
Wow, you have one busy life!!! I bet you look forward to the weekends :)
