I am alive...

sort of.

I mean, I am breathing, so I am alive in that way. 

But, I. Am. Dead. Tired.

Teaching a new grade level, implementing new common core standards, walking 3 miles every day at work (literally...I've clocked it. that's how far my trailer is from everything), and waking up at 4:45 every morning after going to bed at 11:30 every night has completely worn me out! I'm just waiting for it all to slow down. But who am I kidding...we all know that it NEVER slows down!

I will say that I am LOVING second grade. I would say the biggest adjustment for me right now is the difference in the maturity level from third grade, but I start each morning with my Joyce Meyer devotional and I swear, it reminds me take deep breaths and show patience and love with some particularly challenging/whiney little ones through out  the day...well at least until dismissal which is crazy every day. We'll get there. WE WILL GET THERE.

I promise I will do a real post one day. I am not even going to say it will be soon, but it will happen again one day. 

Today, however, I slept until 9:00 (4 1/2 hours later than a typical week day), I am enjoying my coffee in my PJ's with College Game Day playing on the T.V. And I plan on staying on this couch, in my PJ's, with something other than coffee in my hand, while I pull on my Gamecocks and 12:20! And I will love every minute of my laziness! Even if I am working on SmartBoards while watching. 

And tonight, I get to do this...
Can't wait to celebrate with Megan!

  2. You honestly just described my life right now. I switched this year from 4th to 2nd, and the difference blows me away. I'm more exhausted than I've ever been in my life! Good luck this year! I love your blog!
