My Wal-mart finds, and so it begins......

While the girls are at Grandma's I went to Wal-mart BY MYSELF!  :) I went to get the $.97 glitter letters to spell read because I read this post from The Bubbly Blonde.  I love her letters but as a busy mom that takes super shortcuts I was going to go fast and easy.  Well, while I was at Wal-mart I saw this super cute, matches my Dots on Turquoise decor PUR-FECT-LY!  So I threw two pillows in the cart.  The pillows (which reminded me of my classroom colors) clashed very much with the blue, pink and silver glitter letters so I put them back and picked up wooden ones to paint matching colors. The shortcut is my girls will paint them for me.  And so the back to school obsession begins...........
Yes, I may steal that chair and the rug to match out of my girls' room.  They want new stuff right?

And, they painted these within minutes of arriving home!

6 weeks of grace!

Here we go. 20th year! 10th year in 2nd grade! Where has the time gone?! Today I want to talk about what I have learned in the last few years (crazy journey we've been on huh?) It is.... Give yourself grace the first 6 weeks of school! I no longer start the first week of school with the mindset that I'm gonna get up early and workout, come home do a load of laundry, cook a healthy meal etc. etc. NOW I tell myself you may not workout for 6 weeks and it's OK, laundry may pile up (I warn my family), I'm not gonna cook much (I warn my family-actually they know by now). I may let myself stay later at school, maybe even a weekend BUT THEN after 6 weeks are up I implement the rest of it back in my life. This is the best advice I can give to young teacher families.  What have you learned about home/work balance??

The teacher has lice :/

You itched your head just reading that didn't you??  Lice does not discriminate.  Anyone can get it.  Even me. So we have A LOT of hair at our house and about a year ago I decided it would be a good idea to grow out my hair to see how long I could go before I couldn't stand it anymore.  It is a year and a half later and I had/have lice.  Nice experiment huh?  So my daughter's Kindergarten teacher is a good friend of mine and the day after Thanksgiving break came the e-mails.  "What a day, I've sent 2 home with lice and another 2 told me that they spent Thanksgiving break bagging up toys and shampooing with special shampoo." and then "5th one just went home."  I raced home at 5:00 to discover that my kinder had a head full and guess who slept in a hotel bed with her over Thanksgiving?  Yes me!!  Time to freak out.  Please don't do this.  It doesn't help whatsover and it will be OK, I promise.   If you are reading this because you have li
