It’s January 1st and my team is playing football! 🏈 I love it and will be rooting for them from my couch! Let’s go Devils! #peachbowl #cfp

Flights to ATL are too much and if I’m spending my money it’s to go to Tempe where it’s warm and surrounded by Sun Devils.

Let’s go Devils!

Forks Up!

Hide and seek. 🤣

Same. Unexpected bills was the last straw.

Been awhile. How you feeling about the Irish? 🏈

I have discovered grounding and it has made a positive impact on m ty sleep. Anyone else out there try it? It makes so much sense scientifically.

One week to go, teaching about peer feedback in students mid term reflections and then passion projects and fun on the last day. That’s my plan going into the week, might have to adapt.

I applied to be a mentor of teacher mentors. It’s a part time thing. We shall see what the cards hold. The job expectations are similar to what I’ve already done. I built a teacher-student mentor program from scratch. But I did that all for free. This job actually has a stipend.

Same! I think my kids have turned the corner before break instead of after!

This literally might be the longest week ever. It’s only the start of The Wednesday and I’m ready for Friday. Thankfully, it’s been a good week.

Sun Devils!

Curiosity goes away as well.
