Hey strangers!
It’s been awhile, huh? I got an email about some potentially spam comment (of course it was) and all of a sudden it hit me – I haven’t posted in a trillion years. Holy mother of not posting. My bad guys, my bad.
As you know (or maybe not, but now you will), I teach and work at a beauty retailer on the weekends, sometimes week nights. I teach Language Arts and Reading, which means papers…which means not-so-basic grading. Have you ever read something written by a 6th grader? Generally speaking, it’s a slightly painful process. (Excerpt from a paper on trying out for band – He was like OMG, and I was like What?! And he was like nuthin, ur dumb. I smacked him silly and my teacher was like Hey guys, for real, stop! I saw my friend come in and she knew right away. I thought about my homework for the night and then was like o wait, I have a quiz tomorrow. The guy next to me was like Ummmm, pay attention. – and so on. Cue me banging my head on the desk). I am currently swamped in said-grading. Like buried alive in it. Plus meetings have successfully wiped out all my planning blocks. And I have after-school meetings and tutoring sessions. Oh, and my school is having my department take a graduate course that requires oodles of professional and YA reading.
No planning + after-school sessions + class = papers, reading notebooks, and quizzes to grade + course work come home every night + working weekends at my other job = no time for blogging. No time for swatching. No time for anything! Oy vey. My game plan was to catch up some over my baby Thanksgiving break, but the kids got sick right before break…which meant that I got sick over break. Womp, womp. My new game plan is to get as caught up as possible by the end of my baby winter break. Fingers crossed.
Anyways, the point of my rambling is to let you know that I have not thrown in the towel on blogging and I have certainly not forgotten about you. I have so many new beauties to show you, I just need to dig myself out of this hole I’m in first. Hang in there! I promise I’ll get caught up and come back to you – pinky swear.
I hope you’re all having a fantastic holiday season! I can’t wait to catch up with you all.
xoxo,
Jay
