I have finals to grade (why an essay test, Abby? multiple choice is your friend!) so of course I was surfing around on Pinterest as an avoidance technique. I justify it by claiming I am looking for good quotations or cheap posters to hang up in my room. Yes. Let’s go with that.
Anyway, I came across this one:
Somehow I don’t thin this is okay to hang in my classroom. But I definitely want it in my kitchen. I don’t have a ton of room in my kitchen to hang stuff….but I have got to get this up there. Because this is the answer to my funk.
I always think it is the school I am at, the fact that I am being surplussed, the pregnancy, the post-partum, that puts me in the funk. But I think perhaps it is simply the time of year. I am just so tired at the end of the year. I want someone to come through and throw me a freaking parade, you know? I want more fun and less work.
While I don’t think I really need less work. I certainly could use some more fun. And why not? If I want a parade. I am going to have to throw one. Get behind me folks, cause we are marching! Someone bring the kazoo. Anybody got any confetti?

I’ll bring the cymbals! Congrats on marching through another year! I’ve enjoyed keeping in step with you 🙂
I’ll carry a banner in front of the band. I like announcing grand things to come. Like summer, playing in the sprinkler, picnics, visits to the zoo.
That sounds good.
must be nice to have an “end of the year”. Imagine working a job where this no end… just a week of vacation and back to the grind here or there. I want a parade too- but when would I have it? There is no end…
