>> I was the only teacher who dressed up. I wore my total 80's leggings, and leg warmers and even wore high heels (and I totally almost fell down the stairs in them) Luckily, I have amazing instructional assistants who dressed up with me. I was happy to show my school spirit and have an amazing time. I loved my costume and many of my students told my how pretty I looked (which is funny because i was dressed crazy)

>>We had a minimum day, an assembly, and then I changed my clothes and had two back to back IEP meetings. Wow. Literally my back hurts, and my legs hurt and everything hurts. I am done.

Dress up days

>>I am embarrassed with how upset I let myself get yesterday. I usually do not like that happen, but it was just one thing after another and that was the tip of the iceberg. I apologized to a few ladies at school today and they were all very understanding explain how that happens to all of us, and we are here to help pull each other out of it. It was nice and reassuring.

>>Tomorrow is a dress-up day at school. It is "time warp". so you are supposed to dress up like retro, or futuristic. I am going totally 80's because, well I was born in the 80's and they rock. I am wearing gold high heels (if i decide to actually keep them on), pink stripy leg warmers, black leggings, teal shorts and a bright pink shirt. Plus a headband. The issue with middle school is that people arent very big on dressing up. Well, students are. But, there is something about teachers at the middle school where they dont like the participate. Maybe tomorrow will be different, but i doubt it. I am excited. I am totally into all that dress-up stuff and in hopes of not looking/acting/seeming like a middle schooler myself, I have not fully participated in dress up days so far this year, but I think it's time things have changed. I am allowed to have a good time and dress up and show my school spirit with my students. It gets them involved and excited.

>>I am still nervous though..
