#10Thankful – Are We There Yet?

I am so ready for this school year to be over. I kind of thought when I left the classroom that I wouldn’t feel so stressed about this time of year.  I figured without final exams, end-of-the-year textbook collections, and the rest of the things teachers have to do in June, I’d have no worries.

TToT – By the Numbers, Sort Of

Well, it’s been quite a while, hasn’t it? I took an intentional week off for Holy Week and Easter and then all hell broke loose. It all started with some beautiful spring blooming…and pollen. Allergy season entered our lives in full force.     So here we are, now three weeks, three head colds, one sinus…
