I have to imagine that the SNW cast had a blast filming this season.

New Jersey teachers crying about saying goodbye to summer and setting our alarms for tomorrow, up to several weeks behind teachers in other states:

We’re watching the little league US championship and one of the kids bio says his favorite meme is I like turtles. That’s a deep cut for a little kid!

Let’s play a game: is the eye twitch stress about school, perimenopause, or a sign I’m not drinking enough water while on a GLP-1? It could be any of the above!

This is Nala. Even though she hates September because it means I go back to school and leave her for-EV-er, she still thinks it would be nice if you helped me clear my wishlist! www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

DREAMFINDER IS COMING BACK.

Listen, I was around for the unicorn Frappuccino the first time, and I’m telling you, if you missed it… no, you didn’t. The best part about it for me was making that cute sign.

Today’s adventure was me running through the library at warp speed because I didn’t realize they close at 5 on Saturdays and I arrived at 4:43. Still managed to get four books. 📚

The welcome back emails have started arriving this week and I’m like “hey, we still have 2 more weeks” And I know there’s tons of teachers that are already back and I say to you, check back with me in June when you’re already on summer break and I’m still teaching lol - the turntables will have…

Random late night thought: shrink wrap requires heat, so how do they shrink wrap boxes of chocolate without ruining it? I’m sure there’s an answer it’s just something that my half asleep brain is currently wrestling with

@auralfixation.bsky.social I think I got the rest of your gifts! Thank you again! This is going to be an excellent, sparkly year! www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

Yay! Love that gifts from @auralfixation.bsky.social come with TS puns! Thank you! 💜🪩 www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

I don’t know who to thank for this because there’s no slip in it! If it’s you, thank you! These will get put to good use in our classroom. Please shout it out so I can thank you properly. If you want to help our class shimmer, I would appreciate your support! www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

Okay Bluesky am I crazy for thinking that DoorDash shouldn’t have stores that are at a rest stop on a toll road? I’m not, right? What dasher would ever want to do that pick up?

Back to school is about a month away for me… if you are looking for a teacher to support, I’d appreciate your consideration! www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

So this didn’t come with a gift tag but I suspect it might have come from you, @brilliantstar15.bsky.social Thank you for these! They will get put to excellent use with my first graders.

Jeez that was one creepy ass episode of SNW.

After years of drinking zero sugar soda, I tried a full sugar one today and didn’t like it…

Went to the library for the first time in a loooooong time. Highly recommend!

Why does Joe Buck always sound like he’s yelling? (I’m watching Jeopardy)

I walked by someone who was smoking today and it occurred to me how long it has been since that has happened. One of those industries we tried so hard to end but may sadly come back.

Okay it’s early but I’m gonna share this anyway: school starts in September and it looks like this year I’ll settle in to first grade permanently so there are some things I’d like to invest in to make it GREAT! I appreciate any help if you are able: www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

My dad said the word purple today and the internal echolalia had a few lines from “Prince Ali” running through my head for like an hour.

While I may have messed up my sourdough by forgetting the salt and making a plain bland bread instead, I can say it is an EXCELLENT vehicle for peanut butter and honey.

The school year is finally over and I’m literally just putting this one behind me. I’m saying goodbye to kindergarten and the part of me that thought I was destined to be a kinder teacher. Turns out I’m a firstie and I can’t wait to get back there and stay there forever. My looping days have ended!

Dopey me story of the day: burned myself fingers trying to pick up the 500 degree (F) Dutch oven lid. This loaf better be amazing

I’m sure I’m not the first person to do this, but I’m verbing “sourdough.”

I made sourdough today! (And by today, I mean yesterday and today):

In funny kindergarten teacher stories: yesterday one of kids had no problem at all telling me all about his BM. Today, the same child asks my coteacher if it would be weird to tell me that he loves me. 🥰
