Do you ever know what to put here?

Hi I'm Ashley. Married. 2 kids. White picket fence (it's brown). Currently: 2nd grade teacher.

T-minus 4 1/2 weeks till baby H is due. Who knows when they will make their appearance - I hope sooner than later but I am so happy and grateful.

There’s my baby. All grown up. Pre-K will be so good for him.

Kids are ready for school! Ellia will be in 2nd and Charlie is so excited to be going to the big school for Pre-K! My babies are getting so big. Definitely going to enjoy these 5 months having both kids in school before baby makes their appearance in January.

We did a thing. I’m still in shock but happy! 12 weeks today and feeling good.

My beautiful dancer!

My kids are too adorable and I have no idea how they are this huge. 😭

Somehow I have a 7 year old. And now a new cat. 😬 She has been dreaming of a cat for years and this kid deserves it more than anyone I know. Happy birthday girlfriend. 💜💜

I need a break. I’ve been so sad and anxious. Taking steps to be better for myself.

How we feel after 5 hours in a train. So much fun - but oh goodness. Covid kicks our butts. Masks are no joke and while I support them keeping them on my kids with only a 20 minute lunch break during our layover was a hot mess. We survived though and had lots of fun on our one excursion in Colorado!

Visited a national park and explored a bit. I’m so grateful for these moments of peace and calm in between the normal bickering. 😂

Watching my favorite Christmas movie with my husband. 🎄🎄

We drove till we found some fun snow to play in!!

Charlie got a guitar for Christmas and wanted to play with dad. 😍😍

[adventureisalwaysthere]

I’m tired. So tired. Rumors and he said she said is ridiculous.

I just want to leave quietly without any drama and that’s apparently not how it’s supposed to go. 🙄

I need to stop trusting people and others need to stop talking about things that don’t pertain to them.

Resignation is official. I will be unemployed December 19th. I feel relief and overwhelmed.

Also - my miscarriage is never ending and I’m having to do more to try to move it along. I’m tired. So tired.

[adventureisalwaysthere]

Had a serious talk with HR and my principal about resigning and I feel better. Making a final decision about everything this weekend. Taking charge of me.

[adventureisalwaysthere]

I am seriously considering putting in my notice at work and it’s terrifying. I would be breaking my contract with my school and I don’t know what the consequences are. My mental health is not in a good place to continue on this path. I’m just sad and anxious 24/7.
