Friday Link Party #18


Pin Junkie Pin Party

Wednesday was my last day of school.  Not just for the school year, but for a while.  I wrote a long post explaining my frustrations with just about every aspect of teaching and the current state of our educational system.  After reading it, I decided that it just sounded like a long rant.  I figured that if you're a teacher, you may already know how I'm feeling and what my frustrations are because you may be feeling the same way.  I like to keep things positive here, so I'll just skip the rant, and tell you it had nothing to do with blogging.  I'm not making any money doing this (but I'm sure having a lot of fun!)  Although it was a very hard decision, I truly believe that not returning to teaching next year is the right decision for my family, my health and my sanity.  I may decide to go back to teaching again one day.  I may not.  In the meantime I'm going to be cooking, crafting, and blogging to my heart's content!  Here's what I did this week:

I made plant markers for my herb garden.

avocado salad

  9. Thanks for the party! And I feel ya on the teaching ~ teachers are no longer able to really teach. For several years we worked on turning our elementary into a Public Charter School and the difference is truly amazing. I wish you all the best! Thanks so much for hosting! Marcy @ day2day SuperMom
