...that apparently wreath-making is the only craft-like talent I possess.

| $8 wreath + $1 decorations = moderately priced, self-made wreath |
...that I saw this post by Sarah and thought, "Yes. Someone thinks like me." Sure, I'm a teacher, but I don't live in my classroom, nor do I bring my work home. Sometimes, I look at the people around me who work 18 hour days as a teacher and think, "YOU ARE DOING IT WRONG".
...that I'm having real trouble balancing...everything. Something has to give. I have a feeling it'll be the house that I've been striving to keep clean and clutter-free.
...that this cat is describing how I feel when I try to socialize. Parties are supposed to be fun, right?
Linking up to It's OK Thursday. It's definitely okay that it's Thursday. One more day...
I know how you feel. We were up at Ramstein Germany getting my baby's teeth worked on and so we are behind the curve with Christmas decorating as well. We just got our tree up last night and my husband decided he is done with pre lit trees and now we got a plain one and having difficulty with the lights, so I am getting depressed. Blah.
ReplyDeleteYour wreath looks fantastic!

ReplyDeleteI don't live in my classroom either. Sounds like an easy way to get burnt out to me. Your wreath looks great!
ReplyDeleteAww those Christmas cards are so cute! And hey, you saved money - definitely a win-win. And I love your wreath!
ReplyDeleteI love your Christmas cards!!! :) So what they cost $9 they are awesome.
ReplyDeleteThat wreath is so cute!! I'm wanting to make a new one. Thanks for the idea. :)
ReplyDeleteEhhh don't feel bad. We just put our tree up on Tuesday night. You're not that far behind. We never put it up until at least Thanksgiving weekend anyway, this year we were "late" but it didn't really feel late.
ReplyDeleteMy sister works crazy long hours as a teacher...but it's her first year. Hopefully she'll figure out a better schedule so she doesn't burn out. ;)
And your Christmas cards are really cute!! Love them!
We usually get cards from Shutterfly but I think this year calls for Wal-Mart. That's ok with me!
ReplyDeleteWe have dinner with a Lt Col tonight who Kev is trying to get our next assignment with. I am dreading it! After two years at grad school, I am totally out of Army appropriate social mode. Blah. But I hope your night goes well :)
ReplyDeleteSometimes I feel like I am such an awful teacher because I leave pretty much on time everyday and I RARELY take anything home. I am so glad I am not the only one!
ReplyDeleteCleaning was the first thing to go for me. I can no longer have "spontaneous play dates" for Jordan.
ReplyDeleteAnd the Christmas cards.I know! I always want to get the fancy ones but Costco is way cheaper!
Grumpy Cat slays me! And I use Shutterfly for our cards but mainly because I use promo codes like a crazy woman. Your cards are cute!
ReplyDeleteYou got all those cards for $9? Awesome! The only reason I even made photo christmas cards this year was because they were free. Ah, the perks of a blogger.
ReplyDeleteHaha, that cat totally rocks. I very rarely have fun at parties, yeah, I'm that girl in the corner going 'pfft, this is stupid.'
