My daughter KNEW Sleepy Time made her cry, but she would watch it anyway. I'm glad she's not alone.
I just watched Sleepy Time, and I was pretty emotional by the end.

Yesterday, too many disappointing people to rise today with grace. Today the win is just going to have to be rising

Sat in the driveway of my HS for quite some time, watching this grown child swing at the park, all alone, just for the joy of swinging. Best thing I’ve seen so far today.💚 Even big kids are kids.

Pink gave away 2K banned books at her concerts last week! Dolly Parton has given away over 200 million books to children around the world! Reply with a ❤️ and Repost if you support these awesome women!

Today is the hardest day in teaching. Putting on my superadulting clothes despite being “12,000 steps of trick-or-treating tired” because my students are having candy for breakfast…

FB memories told me the only thing I had forgotten about the death of a beloved student 12 years ago, whose suicide rocked us all, was he died on Oct. 17. My co-teacher & close friend (same school) passed away on Oct. 17 last year, and the aftershocks keep coming. Just…no.

Staring at a closet wondering what outfit will take me from HS teacher, to elementary administrator mentee, to Title 1 STEM program, to Home Coming Dance pictures, to BOE meeting…and I realized it’s the accessory that counts. Coffee. I need to wear —- with coffee. #wokeuptired

instagram.com/p/CxdY6kvLz_0/… I think I need to balance my “books wish list for my class” with my “classroom space for a fifth bookcase”, but then I realize we always find the space for books💚 Always. #WeNeedDiverseBooks #MentalHealthMatters

I won in the classroom yesterday, which is also to admit that I lost the 11 days before. They read, smiled, & were eager. They also still did some weird stuff. But 11 days before one small win. This job is hard and personal. Normalize admitting the hard, resilience can’t be fake.

Today started with a senior running out of the band to hug me, followed by waves from my other kids. Meetings now, but thank you for letting me start with kids. (Plus, look how talented they are.) #WeAreOneEdison #kvelling
