I taught preschool for 6 years and could barely afford to live. I was late on my bills most months, and could not afford to pay back my student loans. I eventually had to leave a field that I loved so that I could get back on track. Childcare is expensive and quality care should not be exclusive to people of means.…

She’s got an hour on the weekends, but deserves so much more.

This made me so god damned happy this morning. It was a long ass week and I needed something like this. Bruno Mars is the gift that keeps on giving.

I’m lucky to have a husband with a good job who was willing to shoulder the load while I went back to school. We’ll be paying off my loans for decades, but I do truly love what I do. I wish that the credentialing process wasn’t so expensive, and that the jobs were better funded. There are some amazing potential…

This teacher appreciates it. We need more Meghan Hollingsworths in the world, and I worry that politics are chasing them away.

I am 99% sure that the guy feeding the goat is an old co-worker of mine.

You name is everything to me right now.

Oh sweet baby Jesus! Thank you for bringing back Shade Court! Watching the master of shade last night was just perfection. This was the icing on the shade cake!

This statement breaks my heart. As an educator, we need MORE people like Mr. Phil in our education system. He is the type of person I would have encouraged to become a teacher because we lack people of color, and especially men of color in our school system. If we had more representation in ALL of our schools, it…

Sweet! They play our local team, so I can see them!!! I love small-town baseball!

I haven’t laughed so hard in a long time. Game of Jones needs to be an ongoing thing.

Makes me and the mister crack up every time we see it! It is one of the few commercials we watch instead of skip through.

All the claps for the deep cut reference!

All the stars to you!

Knowing that this happened, makes me so happy:

off topic, but as a Gen Ed teacher who has worked with students on the spectrum, thank you for the work that you do.

Thanks to this post I just reconnected with one of my favorite people from college!

I just ordered the MacDonald Hall Box set for my classroom. I have a whole group of kids who love reading books like that!
