Sanctuary

Sanctuary: a place of refuge or safety 

 Work can be chaotic. My students seem more and more angry and mean as time progresses. Often, during lunch or during my prep, I need a quiet break from that chaos. I have purposely made my office into a sanctuary. 

What place is your sanctuary?

Strong

 Weight lifting makes me feel strong. I can lift more than I ever have in my PE class. Wearing my Ilona Maher also makes me feel strong like a beast!!!

Thankful Turkeys

 Here is my Thanksgiving spread. I recently have been buying cheap holiday tablecloths and decorating our coffee table. 

I also bought cute little turkeys at Hobby Lobby a few weeks back. I had a grand idea of gluing clothespins to them to make a thankful turkey for each of us. It took me a few weeks to get the gumption and get out the hot glue gun and do the work. 

I think they turned out splendidly. Last night we gathered in our living room and cut feathers out of pretty scrapbook paper and wrote at least 3 things we are thankful for. 

What are you thankful for?

Private text group

I have a few coworkers(and a past one) that are in a private group text group. We send funny memes to each other. It makes my life more fun and easier to bear!! Here are a few gems:

 

  

    

You’re welcome!

Memories.

 This is a common thing for us, especially during the holidays. My kids have always found moving stuffed animals hilarious. I guess I do too! I also find it rather embarrassing when Ellis hits all the buttons of all the goofy things. I pretend to not know him!
