I'm so jealous! <br />I've been trying to get the husband to get Candy Crush but he just makes fun of me for my addiction. Ha! If only he knew. Gone Girl is the next book on my reading list!

I finally had to take it off my phone. I was seriously obsessed. I would ask how far you got the first night but I feel I might fuel the fire :) It's probably in your best interest that I don't tell you the game can also be played on Facebook so you can just alternate from your phone to the computer when you run out of lives. Meaning you actually get ten lives rather than five. Opps...wait did I just write that?!?

(They get 3-4 week breaks in Jan, Mar-Apr, July, Oct). NOPE! Just as burned out except we have 3 more weeks! Then we get a four week break and go right into the next grade. <br /><br />I almost cried when they sent home the June homework packet. Stop sending homework!!! They don't even grade it or return it. <br /><br />PS. I am on now on Candy Crush level 349. 350 is the end. SO CLOSE TO FINISHING.

I have my last class for this semester on Monday and I will have 14 final projects to grade and catch up on the other assignments. Don't you wish they would just grade themselves? Maybe I will treat myself to the Clarisonic I've been eyeing if I get all my grades in on time.Elizabethhttp://detroitduchess.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-460311140317714777.post-71111981219634548882013-06-05T21:16:46.598-07:002013-06-05T21:16:46.598-07:00Thank you for being so relatable!

I have 3 kids and while I don't work outside the home, I have a full time etsy business and when you said you had to grade/do recommendations/etc and instead you spent the weekend with your family....well, it made me feel better for the layers of felt waiting to be cut in my office. Some days, I just need to sip an adult beverage and play in the sun with my kids too!

Recesses are getting longer and time spent doing work outside of school is getting shorter. Soon enough I'll know what it's like to balance my own kid and my students but hopefully I'm still standing long enough to make it to that point! Hang in there!
