I really can't believe half the school year is over already! Time really does fly!
Linking up with :

Love Judge Judy! I don't get to watch her regularly because I don't get home in time, so in addition to actually watching the news-one of the things I'll miss from the break.
I discovered the best snack food-they are flavored pretzel chips! They only have like 100 calories for like 20 chips, no fat and quench that craving for something crunchy.
So much still to do *sigh*. I'm recording new stories for their mp3 players, redoing lesson plans, updating all our new pics on the class site, reading books for the student book club I do (way, way behind in that-only read like 6/25 so far).
My pup somehow has a soft-tissue injury in her front leg. I'm supposed to keep her from being active (yeah, that's working very well !). If she doesn't improve of these new meds, I'll have to take her to a vet orthopedist. :(
I'm afraid my family is seriously going to call Hoarders on me! Seriously! I can't even see my kitchen table any more and don't get me started on my guest/storage room. Teachers have a lot of stuff!
This one was something I really thought about. I've put other words out there for the answer to this question, but wanted to do something different. My answer is "grace", not just the not falling on your face part (although, I'd take a year of that) but to "Do honor or credit to (someone or something) by one's presence." I want to bring grace to my teaching, bring it to my life.



Oh yes, we have lots of stuff!!! :) I've caught quite a few episodes of Judge Judy while my girls were napping the Christmas break. :)

Wow, it sounds like you are way more ready to go back to school than I am. I haven't hardly even peeked in my school bag and it's full of stuff I should have done since we go back tomorrow. Oops. Oh well. It'll work out (that's what I keep telling myself). We found you from the Linky!!

Hey! I just found your blog on Currently and I am your newest follower :)! I am feeling the same overwhelmed feeling with so much to do but so little time. I don't feel ready to go back tomorrow but I truly enjoyed break and tried to unplug. Hmmm, maybe that can be my word! I love shine and grace! I considered grace for a long time and still haven't made my decision! Hugs to the puppy!
