Tonight my house is completely devoid of Christmas decor - with the exception of a rosy pink poinsettia to remind us that just two weeks ago we were anticipating a visit from the jolly old elf.
Now, the only elf around here is this one. I guess he'll do.
It's the eve of my first day back to school. I don't know whether I will walk into chaos or if the kiddos will be completely wiped out from two weeks off of holiday exhaustion {maybe that will just be me} and it'll take a couple of days for them to perk back up. Personally, I could use another two weeks off just to recover from the holidays.
I went to my classroom yesterday. For eight hours. I'm not exaggerating. I think my New Year's resolution is to work less and enjoy my family more. Leaving work at work is really hard. Because teaching is also a fun hobby for me, I do enjoy blogstalking all you amazing teachers out there which usually translates into either replicating your ideas or inspiring me to do something similar. Regardless, I have better things to do at home and two cute boys to do them with. Please remind me of this as the next few months unfold.
I'n other news, I'm sorry I haven't posted a winner of my headband headwarmer giveaway yet. I will. Hopefully before the seasons change ;) I kid.
And, while a completely random addition to this post, I want to encourage you to spend seven bucks and buy our new favorite dice game: Farkle. Go ahead, say it out loud. Farkle. Farkle. Farkle. Isn't that a fun word?!
It's completely mindless, so you can talk or hold children or make the person who farkles wear a silly hat until someone else farkles. We love it and have played it a gobzillion times in the past two weeks.
