losing pounds, inches & maybe my mind

couldn't NOT share this photo from the other night. #raisingmissmaisy

and with that i will probably see you all the next time i have a free moment to type, perhaps in november. 😉

some weeks are weird and crazy with no real explanation why and some weeks you go home exhausted every single day. and sometimes in the middle of a week like that a student reminds you with a sweet gift that maybe just maybe you are making some sort of difference after all. #talesoutofschool #giftsandsurprises #ilovemystudents #imayhaveyelledatherclassfiveminutesbeforeshegavemethis #sothisisredemptive

I think all plans of doing anything productive before noon are toast. She's been on my lap for an hour and a half 😍 #raisingmissmaisy

I broke my toe on Saturday and here I am at the gym in closed toe shoes for the first time in two days so we will see how this goes! 😱😬

ready or not, here they come! #talesoutofschool #firstdayofschool

my classroom is *almost* ready which is probably good because the kids come TOMORROW.

I had forgotten how incredibly exhausting it is to come back to work and be in meetings {so many meetings and did I mention the meetings?}. definitely went grocery shopping after today's training, came home and collapsed on the couch for a nap...and accidentally slept through the time I should have left for zumba. but at least i have a supportive napping buddy. 😉 #raisingmissmaisy #unfilteredlife
