Some Days

There are those days when I just don't feel well.  When the stress and anxiety of a due assignment for grad school, mixed in with the responsibilities of my job, mixed in with the obligations of coaching, just don't sit right.  Then, with strep throat and the stomach flu making their way around the school, I wake up feeling like my head is swimming.  I'm hoping and praying that I'm not sick, because who has the time?  Some days, I snap at kids for little things, feeling overwhelmed by events out of my control and theirs.  Some days, four minutes into class, a student says, "I hope your day gets better."  And that's always just the worst.  Because really, it's only been four minutes.

July Favorites

Signaling the end of summer, July came and went.  I began to stock up on school supplies, I became bolder in my lip color, and Husband and I adopted another kitten.

Scotch Laminator | Because now I laminate EVERYTHING so that I don't need to keep buying/printing decorations and schedules for the classroom.

Sephora Matte Lipstain | The pink/purples are drawing me in this season.  And they stay for a very long time.

Jaclyn Hill Champagne Pop | I wouldn't be a good make-up junkie without purchasing this gorgeous highlighter.

Igloo Duo Tote | One half is insulated for food.  The other half is material to carry.  This is the best multipurpose bag that I could own, AND it is adorable.

Winston | The newest addition to our family.  He's absolutely the sweetest, and he loves to cuddle.  And yes, there will be a bowtie, for what is a Winston without a bow tie?
