Happy Feet

Flats may not look as stylin' as a pair of killer heels, but they sure do make my feet happy.  Yesterday (when I wore this), I totally copied Bessie's look, but I gave it my own twist, which is to say, I made it much more casual and wearable for the classroom. (Wow, that was a really long sentence!)

Lavender Shirt: NY&Co ($15-ish)
Skirt: The Limited (Handed Down)
Shoes: Shoedazzle ($40)
Jewelry: Borrowed from My Sis


Yesterday was a really good day! I gave a spelling test to the class.  I basically saw the words for the first time as I was giving the test, so I was a little bit worried I might use a word the wrong way. Wouldn't that have been embarrassing?!?  Then I taught part of a vocabulary lesson! As I was leaving, the kids were expressing their gratitude and they even said that they hoped I taught 4th grade next year, so that they could be in my class! On top of all of that, my feet didn't hurt, thanks to the advice from all of you to stick with flats or wedges when teaching!  So, all in all, it was a pretty fantastic day. =) And if you were wondering, the meeting I went to on Wednesday went really well. I met a few of the teachers and learned a lot about the new performance pay system. It was fun!

What am I thankful for today?? At this very moment, I'm thankful for coffee. I'm pretty much thankful for coffee every day. lol But especially today, because the Little Guy decided he wanted to wake up every few hours all night long. Seriously, when do kids realize that sleep is pretty darn cool?  My Little Miss seems to already have discovered it and she's only 16 months old. But my Little Guy, who is 3 1/2, seems to think that sleep is for sissies. *sigh* One of these days, I'll get a full night's sleep again! But I'll still want a steaming hot cup of coffee, I'm sure. =)

I know I'm a terrible weekend blogger, but stay tuned!! Tomorrow, I'm hoping to write another post for Bloggers for Health and also update y'all on how my shopping ban is going!

That's so exciting Tiffany. I'm so glad that your dream job is becoming a reality.

I like your top and the ruffle detail. I certainly didn't have any teachers that stylish when I was in elementary school. :)
