Back to the ole' salt mine

What the heck is the ole' salt mine anyway...

Tired.... can't....type.....

Here's a "bioglyph" of me from last year. I do this with my kiddos the first day of school. There is a meaning to each thing. Example: I have 7 strands of hair because I was born in the 7th month of the year. I have 28 freckles because that's the day of my birth. Left ear: sisters and the dots on the ear are the number of sisters I have. The eyes mean something, the necklace means something... I could go on but you and I both know we don't care right now. We are tired. My room is not EVEN ready for meet the teacher night on Wed. but then again, it's meet the teacher night, not meet the room night. Tomorrow is our "retreat" which means LOADS of paperwork to stuff into our teacher's essentials notebook, some ice breaker where we have to find another teacher who also lived in Alaska and likes to drink pune juice, and stale-hard-as-a-rock cookies. Welcome to the world of teaching.
