I really thought it was Thursday...

Is it really only Tuesday?? I was sitting at my desk at school this morning and I had a moment when I genuinely did not know what day it was-- although I was sure it had to be closer to Friday... but no. Alas, it is only Tuesday. But you know what that makes tomorrow? Wednesday! Yep, Hump Day. And I may or may not be the teacher who showed her students the Geico-Camel-Hump Day commercial which caused seemingly endless exclamations about hump day throughout the hallways for the rest of the week... But I'm not admitting anything. Nope, not me. However, I will share a link to watch the commercial on YouTube:

Disclaimer: I am not responsible for any subsequent videos about hump day you are sucked into watching once there. Also, I do not take responsibility for any camel quotes you or your loved ones feel the need to repeat for the next three days.

Now, I'm off to eat the steak, potatoes, and carrots Hubs grilled for dinner...

That's how I feel right now. I’ve already failed. I told myself I was going to do it this time, but I didn’t. Are we surprised? No. I knew it would happen like this… I wrote three posts and stopped. For three weeks. And I’m sorry. I promise I’m going to try to be more reliable! 

So, let’s catch up, shall we? Ok, great!

School started August 21^st for the kids, and it’s been good so far. A little hectic and definitely exhausting… but good. I teach three different subjects and have six classes each day with students from grades 9-12, so my days are never boring. I’m usually ready to go home by the end of the day, but I’m also enjoying my classes so far.

This was after my first day of school last year-- AKA my first day of teaching ever. 

(I didn't take a first day picture this year.)

My best friend got MARRIED August 31^st!!! It was a lot of fun, and she looked beautiful! I'm so happy she has found the man of her dreams! She’s currently still on her honeymoon (I’m super jealous), but here is a collage of a few pictures I managed to snap in between all the craziness and fun.

We've been really busy lately, so the hubs and I are enjoying this weekend just hanging out with family. We went to dinner with his grandparents last night, just got back from the creek with my parents, and are going to the county fair and my cousin’s new house tomorrow. I still have papers to grade and some house cleaning to do before tomorrow night, but I’m determined to make this weekend a fun, relaxing one.

Hope you’re having a great weekend!
