Bad

I have been so blah lately and haven't had much to write about. It's been a stressful couple of days with work-related concerns and duties I must fulfill, even while on summer vacation. Makes it tough to stay away from work when you're one of those people who must remain in contact when/if things happen.


I've been semi-given an assignment from my boss. I was asking for her opinion on a class I have to teach (which I dreaded last year) and want to make it more meaningful this year. Well, since the curriculum they provided us is for the HEALTH department to teach (and I'm ELA), I thought a service learning approach would be more beneficial. I found a good resource book and my boss gave me a gift card to go purchase said book.


Now, what to do with this book that doesn't make me look like a suck up and people hate my lesson plans for this class that other teachers must also teach. Makes me go "hmmmmm." So, it's off to a coffee shop to plan stuff out.

In the meantime, I'm going purple! Each year I buy a bag and semi-matching accessories. {Cannot find a picture of the bag that will allow me to get it into this post... If you go to Target and look for the Merona Tote - Purple, that's what I purchased. Other two images courtesy of B&N.com}. Kinda lame, yes, but it keeps me organized.  Now I must find a purple pencil/pen pouch... and then I can start pulling lessons out of thin air. TGIF.
