 So, I have no excuses. An entire 9ish weeks off for summer break and I didn't blog...not a single post. Wait a minute--Actually I do have excuses: 1.) Both my babies graduated which took a weird toll on me....like my babies are grown up....now what?!! 2.) One of my bestest friends moved half way across the country leaving a total void in my life and a minor depression as the realization set in place that another soul sister has moved far away (this makes three sweet friends that have moved away now--and I selfishly would prefer to have my tribe within a quick coffee date distance away) BUT counting my blessings for the sweet women who continue to be near and dear AND are a quick coffee date away; 3.) I was freakin exhausted from the 2017-2018 school year and the shenanigans that accompanied it; 4.) Being a special education teacher is D R A I N I N G (of course I need to follow that up with also, "R E W A R D I N G" so I don't look like a total asshole); 5
