I'm exhausted just reading this! On top of this long, stressful day, you made it to the choir potluck. Teachers should receive special rewards. At the very least "thank you for your service."

Believe it or not, I do get some of that from my wonderful students and their families. ❤️

I loved this whole walkthrough. Adam and I helped Hazel’s class at the history museum. We had 3 kids and briefly lost one who went to hide in a hallway. Those kids are absolute magicians. So glad you found a way (however stressful) to make sure they have some nature in their lives 💚

"We had 3 kids and briefly lost one" is SO amazing.

It felt like we had a legit chaperone experience 😂

You should hear Dan talk about chaperoning 4 5th grade girls at the DARE Twins game. "OK! If anyone needs to go to the bathroom, we ALL go to the bathroom!"

I look forward to your "musings" every Thursday, Susie! I can feel myself smiling as I read and reflect on moments of despair! Teachers are so very special, thank you!
