Blog Backlog: Playing Catch Up

School has been out for just over a week. It was tough saying good-bye to my kiddos this year, I had an exceptional bunch. I wasn't gonna cry, but when I saw some of my boys sobbing uncontrollably, I kinda lost it. This year has been one of the toughest and most challenging for me - mostly because of things outside of my classroom, and out of my control. I'm grateful for the rough patches this year because I, and I know this is so cliche, but I have grown so much stronger. If the teacher I was when I started my career ten years ago, heck, even the teacher I was five years ago, saw me, I think I'd be pretty unrecognizable to myself.

My first week of break has consisted of some pool time, hanging out with Netflix (have you seen Derek? That show is so sweet!), and taking my sis, nephew, and niece to the Mirror Maze and Laser Maze. Looking forward to more slow days with some fun sprinkled in.

This year my phone has been full (literally, over spring break it took me a couple of days to get everything off it!) of photos. There were many blog posts I wanted to make, but never got around to. So, I figured that since I have no major plans this summer (besides hanging out at the pool, watching OITNB, and heading to Vegas for the TpT conference), it'd be a good time to catch up. I've selected ten topics for posts and will have a 10 part series I'm..."Blog Backlog: Playing Catch Up". Come back tomorrow for part 1!
