Welcome to Litsy!

Just relaxing with my book and my Kalli until it‘s time to wake the living dead...I mean, kiddos 🤣

Kiddos sleeping, Peace & Calming in the diffuser, and mama reading ☺️

Home with 2 sick kiddos, so coffee and reading it is!

Guys. I have been teaching for 14 years. I KNOW the the last 6 weeks are a killer. I don‘t know if I am getting old or just less willing to deal with BS, but I don‘t know how I am going to make it for 29 more school days! 😱 I have ordered a ridiculous number of books this week, but decided to stop by my favorite library on the way home today anyway. 😊
