Excuse my absence but I have been mighty preoccupied lately. Open house, visitors, moving, being sick, lack of internet. Life has been conspiring against this little old blog.

I figured I would come back with a bang. They are serious polka dot tights. This dress has been seen now and again on here. I recently unearthed it when packing and unpacking. When your closet gets super full, things get lost. My new closet is SO MUCH bigger!

This week is only half over and already it has been an emotional rollercoaster. I have been up, down, high, low and just a hot mess of emotion. It was a spirit day at my school, Clone Day. So i told me class that I would be wearing all black if they wanted to be a clone with me. They are such adorable little darlings. Half the class greeted me with giant, proud smiles, wearing all black this morning.

The all black, mourning colors turned out to be prophetic. Yesterday I was told I would not be rehired at my school next year. That is the easy answer, the situation is a whole lot more complicated (as most things are). So the all black suited my bleak, dreary, depressed mood. Thank goodness for my amazing co-workers who built me up so much with their sympathy, kind words, and support. I was showered with it until I could help but feel a hundred times better.
