Rainy days are for listening to the kids bang around upstairs while I try to get some work done. 💻

Is it raining where you are? ☔️

Only the cool teachers go through the obstacle courses with their students on field day and tackle big yellow mats like a boss 💪🏼

Love this reminder...I’m always dreaming... anyone else set crazy high goals for themselves? Or have dreams that they feel like will come true if they keep working at it? Maybe it’s the in me 😉

One week from today! But who is counting?!
