Sadly, my summer has ended and this week is back to school.
Which means the occasionally tired eye, too early outfit post like this one.
Which also means there may be more of these:
To help me prepare for being back in school:
I'm doing my best to focus on the things I'm looking forward to like:
a normal routine, eight year old hugs,
looking forward to weekends, wearing work clothes,
funny stories and doing a job I know I'm meant to have.
I'll be focusing on things like make me happy, like these new bracelets I got from Karly from the arm party swap that I know I will wear often:
(Thank you Karly - I LOVE them!)
I will be channeling my nephew's excitement for going to visit me while working in my classroom:
I will also be practicing this face, to show off just a few times at the beginning of the year so my students know I mean business.
You probably wouldn't mess with me if I looked like this right?
Happy back to school for all you teachers out there!
the last picture is funny!! (:

ReplyDeleteI've got a week on ya. So I'm a little jealous of your additional five days off! ;) How do you balance blogging and teaching and being a wife!?!?!
ReplyDeleteI think my eyebrows are already permanently formed into "the teacher look". It's only been 3 days. Good luck this week!

So comfy-chic!!
ReplyDeletexo, Katie
That last face is so awesome! And I have to tell you- it makes me SO HAPPY to come to your blog and see that what your wearing is from a store I know and that isn't crazy expensive! Love it!
ReplyDeleteLove the outfit. I have the same flats from Target and get so much use out of them.
ReplyDeleteI love the color blocking and the necklace!
ReplyDeleteDropping by from the arm party linky page. I love the colors of your bracelet and I share your back to school woes. I teach preschool and as much as I want to get my daily dose of sweet sweet 3 year old hugs, I do not want to part with my summer freedom. I think back to school adjustment is just as hard (if not harder) for us teachers!
ReplyDeletecute bracelets! And I definitely wouldn't mess with you if you had that face.
