26 Slices

 

I have been less than inspired today in my search for a slice of life story.  Since I had several little snippet ideas but nothing that was worth a whole post...I decided to challenge myself and probably share a little about myself at the same time.

 

 

A - Anxious, the end of the school year seems to be rushing toward me and I'm just not finished with this group of kiddos yet!

 

B - Bestie, I'm lucky to have two.  One who "lives" across the hall and always inspires me and one who lives near Chicago who I miss so much!

 

C - Calling, what I should be doing to catch up with the Chicago bestie and Coffee, which I would like to be drinking and chatting over with across-the-hall bestie right now!

 

D - Daydreamer, what I often find myself doing.  I think this is where I get some of my ideas for writing!

 

E - Eight, eight-year-old drama is rough.  For parents.  Enough said.

 

F - February, it's almost over, which means it's almost time for the March SOL challenge!

 

G - The student who will not stop talking!  What am I going to do about him?

 

H - Home, home is where the heart is, it's not just a saying!

 

I - Inspired, I have gotten so much inspiration this school year because of reading blogs...both teacher blogs and writing/slicer blogs.  I love it!

 

J - Joke, I like a simple joke.  What did the zero say to the 8?  See P for the answer.

 

K - Kindergarten, where I live every week day, where I share my days with 18 pretty great kiddos!

 

L - The text level of my highest reader...in kindergarten!  She's just amazes me every day!

 

M - Make-up days, what my school district now has due to the outrageous amount of snow days we have had this year and winter isn't even over yet!

 

N - Novel, that huge document on my computer that calls to me, the thing that is always in the back of my mind, the story that I daydream about (see letter D).

 

O - Outing, I am looking forward to my book club meeting tomorrow.  It's my mommy outing and I'm looking forward to good company and good discussion...whether it's about the book or not!

 

P - Punch line, "Nice belt!"  (see J for the joke)

 

Q - Ok, did anyone really think I would come up with something for the letter Q??

 

R - Rainbow Loom, the thing that occupies every spare minute of my daughter's time (and the thing I secretly enjoy playing with too!)

 

S - Snow, more specifically, blowing snow...I mean really, haven't we had enough already?  Did we really need more snow and wind today?  

 

T - Two Writing Teachers, the blog that pushes my thinking in the writing arena, my safe place to share my writing.

 

U - Unexpectedly hard letter to find something to start with U!

 

V - Violin, I played from 4th grade - 12th grade.  Now it lives under my bed.  There are days I miss playing...there just aren't enough hours in the day!

 

W - Wondering...what book will the book club choose to read next?

 

X - eXcited to be attending the All Write Conference again this summer!  Anyone else going?

 

Y - You, thanks to you for reading all the way to the end!

 

Z - zzzzzz, what I hope you are NOT doing after reading all the way to the end!  :)

 

 

Well, there you have it: 26 slices of my world today.  I hope you learned something new, I hope you laughed at some of them, and I hope you will come back again!  See you in March!
