Year of Projects: Week 36

Good morning!  Last week lots of pictures, this week....none...First week back to school, I was exhausted!  Plus I'm on the end of my infusion cycle...my next infusion is on Monday....so I was dealing with some pain too.....so I did very little crafting...I made one more water bottle coaster and added a few rows to my Venetian Cowl...but it doesn't look much different, just a bit longer....

I have a great bunch of kids, however we are still in the "honeymoon" phase!  I did go down one student, as she moved.  I do have a very needy class this year, probably the most needy
 I've ever had....
Since I have my infusion tomorrow, I will only be in school for a half day, but getting ready for a substitute is so much work!

So I guess that is about it.....see you next week!

I have several friends who are teachers. After the first week of school, they also resembled the photos you posted. Don't you wish that 'honeymoon' period would last until Christmas break?

Those memes are funny. I have a friend whose a maths teacher and she would agree with those for sure.

I do hope your pain eases soon. I know what you mean about needy classes. I have only met two of my classes, the oldest that are lovely, seven more this week! I will be exhausted by the weekend!

Ooooh. That Little People picture is so funny. But I'm sorry it's so exhausting. I can only imagine...

Hope your pain eases with the infusion, I have metholpredisone infusions for my RA and it is wonderful how it wipes the pain away.

Did I miss something? What are your infusions for? It doesn't sound good. The lego people picture was classic and I sent it to my daughter. I'm glad your students are enjoyable and I hope it lasts. I was surprised to see you posting as I knew it was your first week back but glad to see you here! Have a good 2nd week at school and I will pray for your health and healing.

Popped in from a mutual friends blog, thought I'd say hi, it's always fun to meet new bloggers. Followed the link over to your cowl.......LOVE the colors. Hope your infusion goes well and each week at school gets easier.

Congratulations on surviving the first week! Thanks for the chuckles. I hope you find some more time for crafting or whatever "you" time you need this week.
