Well, maybe that's the wrong way to put it. What I'm trying to say is that I sometimes spread myself too thin. My momma says I burn the candle at both ends. It's just what I do. I always have.
But, as I round the bend on this decade of my life, I'm beginning to analyze things a little more. Is that my age? Is it wisdom? Or, is it that I'm just plain tired.
I'm going with door number 3.
Today is my official "Blogiversay".
According to Urban Dictionary, this means, "The yearly anniversary of someones web-log (blog)".
I've been at this blog-thing for exactly a year today. I've come a LONG way in the year that we've been together. I have grown so much professionally and personally over the last year and I'm amazed at the difference this year has made.
Remember Door Number 3? Well, that door kept me from creating anything lavish to celebrate. In all honesty, I'm just too tired to try to create something special to celebrate.
Instead, I'm offering a sale at my TPT store from now until Saturday.
And.
I'll give away E.V.E.R.Y.T.H.I.N.G in my store to someone on Saturday night at 6:00 p.m.
All you have to do leave me a comment below telling me how long you've been following this little ol' blog. I'd love to see how long you've been listening to me ramble.

ReplyDeleteI think it must have been during the summer...since I had more time to blog stalk! One of those things where I clicked from one blog to another and landed on yours. So glad I did!

I've been following you since the beginning of the summer - that's right about when I really started looking at teaching blogs. Happy Blog Birthday!

ReplyDeleteI've been following your blog for at least three or four mmonths (probably even longer)! You are such a talented person and you have so many wonderful ideas to share! I feel like you do... I feel like I am constantly going this year and never seem to give myself time to relax. I think a lot of teachers are like that! Thanks for all your hard work and for the resources you share!

Could it be a part of what is behind each door? Last year was my 22nd year teaching and all 3 crept up on me. I have done a lot of soul searching and thinking since then, its changed how I work to a point. I have always burned the candle at both ends, surprised there is any wick left actually. My husband now has CHF and having a 9 yr old at home forced me to rethink how much I do. Its really hard to slow down when fast paced is all you know. I'm still working on it.
ReplyDeleteIm not sure when I started following you but thinking May/June(ish) because you had posts on WBT and the fact that I was teaching grade 3 and I like to keep up with a grade above and below me to keep me in perspective. It really helps keep me in the know of what my students are in for and to remember where they came from.
Happy Blogiversary, time to do something for you now... don't ya think?

I found you in June of this year and I love your posts! Happy blogaversary!
