Confession

Something that I pride myself in is that I can always find a way to entertain myself. I don't often get bored. But I must confess. I am sooooooooooo bored. So bored I am almost comatose. Do I not have a "to do" list a mile long? Yes, I do. I just don't want to do any of it.

For the past 8 years I have been in a modified calendar school. The budget cuts killed that concept in my county. If we still had that calendar, I'd be teaching by now. Instead, I have a long summer. It must be kind of like muscle memory or something. I just don't know what to do with myself if I'm not teaching in August.

I signed up to participate in an art teacher ATC swap, then forgot to make anything. Luckily, I had perfectly acceptable ones already made.


Here are the ones I received in return.











Lovely, lovely.

Hopefully now that I have opened fun ATC mail for the day, I will find motivation to do something else.

right there with you- it's not that I can't entertain myself, and I do have a long to-do list, but I am very restless and ready to be back to the kids and the routine...
Love your ATC!

Nice snippings for the ATC's you sent out. It is a lot of fun to swap. I like what you received too. Wisconsin doesn't usually start until around September 1st and I like it that way! Minnesota always waits until after Labor Day to go back. This year my school is starting the last week in August. So pretty soon I have to kick it into high gear for some organizing of lessons and putting the final touches on my room. Enjoy the days that are left.

I'm with ya! I got bored too - I'd go blog-hopping hoping for inspiration and nada. I couldn't seem to get off the computer fast enough...so I started reading some books and that helped me over the hump. Have you had any more fat-fairy inspiration? Those always make me smile!!!
