Paperwork Monsters

I have been drowning in paperwork lately.  On the positive side, it has reminded me about why I'm an English teacher: I teach kids to read a text and really understand it.  Hopefully, when they are drowning in HOA contracts and Escrow paperwork, they too will be able to read and understand the finer points.

I dressed casually for church Sunday.  One, I wanted to be comfortable.  Two, I hadn't done laundry and when you are out of trousers and skirts…you are left with jeans!  The top and the cardigan don't really match, but they didn't not match either.

Sunday

Top: Kohl's
Cardigan: Banana Republic
Jeans: Mudd (Kohl's)
Necklace: J.Crew Outlet

 Monday at work was a crazy day.  I wore the pink dress as a skirt, but the black sweater I wore kept rolling up a  little, so I thought it looked weird.  Oh well.

On Being an Emotional Wreck

Guys.  I go from being freaktastically excited about moving somewhere warm and beautiful (mountains, desert, sunshine) to being so incredibly sad to be leaving a place I love (friends, in-laws, my work family).  I go from that butterflies-in-the-stomach excited to tears-streaming-down-the-face/about-to-need-a-paper-bag-to-breathe-into upset.  Sometimes I feel both emotions simultaneously!

I hope that my school finds a replacement who loves those kiddos as much as I do.  My students deserve that.

I am enjoying my Spring Capsule Wardrobe so far.  I've only needed to replace one shirt (didn't like the way it fit on me).  I worry I may have planned poorly and I don't think I have enough bottoms, though.

Pink Sweater: Forever21
Dress (worn as skirt): JcPenney
Navy Tights: Walmart
Navy Shoes: Anne Klein
Necklace: Dustee's

Sorry about the bad lighting in the second picture.  I was in a hurry to get out the door.  I just could not get myself to wake up and get moving this morning.
