The Start To 2017

I hope that y'all had a great start to 2017.  I have been a tad MIA from blogging as far as reading & commenting on all the blogs.  I apologize.  I have been sick & also trying to get back into the routine of balancing a normal job with getting stuff for me done as well.  Have a great weekend everyone!  I plan on catching up on a lot of sleep.  Linking up with Amanda.

What I Did

1. I started a new teaching job on Monday.  On Tuesday the kids came back.  That means you can look forward to more Sh*t My Students Say posts in the future & a post next week about what it's like being back in the classroom full time after having been on a semester break.

2. Like clockwork I got sick.  Since at least freshmen year of college I have gotten sick at the start of spring semester.  This is my 5th year as a teacher & guess what?  Sick.  Only this time I can't just skip class & because I only started on Monday, I don't have any time off.  Nyquil has been my friend.

3. I actually came home to this waiting for me last Friday.  In December I participated in a blogger gift swap & I got this sweet gift from Ashley at Bits & Pieces of Me.  It has different good deeds such as "mail homemade cookies to a friend" & "set the road rage aside"

4. I started watching Shameless again.  I binge watched a lot of this show a few years ago but haven't watched it since then.  I had planned on finishing Dallas when I came back but they pulled that from Netflix.  I also tried watching Narcos but was distracted by other things so quit part way into the first episode because I wasn't reading the subtitles to know what was going on.


Moments I'm Grateful For
1: Watching the sunrise over Palo Duro Canyon
2: Starting a new job
3: Having amazing students in my 3rd block
4: Getting 3 new books in the mail
5: Picking up the 8th book in the Left Behind series at the library
