Life Lately

I have neglected to post on here in over a month. But…. It’s not really a big deal because I have shared this blog with absolutely no one so it’s not like anyone is twiddling their thumbs waiting on a new post to come out.

I started this blog as a way for me to blog about things other than the classroom. However, life has been really busy and I have felt really discouraged in the blogging area the past month or so. But…tonight on the Monday of Spring Break, I decided to do a little blogging in hopes of reigniting the fire in me.

So what have I been up to this past month, all you readers who are not reading my page? A LOT!

Let’s see…..I have helped a teacher organize her classroom

Traveled to Houston for a college friend’s wedding.

Survived Valentines Day with thirty-four eight year olds.

Written five blog posts for The Simply Organized Teacher.

Mowed my yard for the first time in MONTHS!

Bowled in a bowling fundraiser for Cody’s company.

Got ENGAGED!

Field Trip. Second Grade. Enough said.

Watched twelve new Alpha’s be initiated into Alpha Delta Pi.

Planted new veggies and herbs in my garden

Put on our 2nd Annual Sun Run 5k event!

Visited four wedding venues.

Met Jamie Ivey from the Happy Hour Podcast!!!!!!!!

Saw Alan Jackson at the rodeo. (some how failed to get a picture of this…)

Bought a wedding dress! (not posting a picture of this…)

And cried about seventeen times. (you don’t want to see a picture of this…)

It’s been great! Really!

So needless to say….life has been a little hectic lately. It is making the blog (both personal and professional blogs) a little more stressful and a little less enticing. I am also really trying to work through how to find rest in the midst of busy…For example, it is Spring Break and I haven’t read one book or taken one nap.

Any guesses on how many times I have opened the facebook app on my phone? I don’t even wanna know!

But tomorrow…Tomorrow is rest day. I plan on drinkin’ my coffee on the porch with a book in hand!

Maybe I’ll have some blogging inspiration!

Until next time,
