    I hope that you returned fully energized. Your break sounds fulfilling. I have few more days to sleep, play, and read.

    I love the verbs that filled your break, but the best was your BEEP jarring you back to work. Have a great day!

    I love how you've captured your break--and the return to school. Hope your return to teachers and kids was more gentle than the beeping alarm!

    Perfect. Tomorrow I'll be "beeped" back into real life.
    Happy 2012,

    I was beeped yesterday for inservice and today for kids. Wasn't quite ready, but it comes whether we are or not!

    I know others have mentioned it too, but I love your 'beeping'. Argh, it was so early! Happy New Year, MIchelle!

    What a perfect way to capture the transition! I love the font change for the onomatopoeia. I never think to do those things. I am already trying to brace myself for the shock my body will feel tomorrow morning. I have been way off my usual schedule for way too long! Hope your first day back was a reminder of how much fun our jobs are!

    What a great way to show the connection between the break and back to work. I felt the same way!

{#sol15} deeper than beauty 8/31

The March Slice of Life Story Challenge hosted  at the  Two Writing Teachers Join us for a month of writing! I have twin four and a half -- almost five! -- year old daughters.  I try to be consciously aware of what I say and do in regards to my body image and self-esteem and also with their body image and self-esteem. First of all, because I don't want them to believe everything that society says is true.  Even if they don't fully understand it today.  In addition, because they are fraternal twin sisters, I want them to understand they are individuals with unique and different bodies that God created for each of them.   However, society -- including my loving family and friends -- tell a different story and harmlessly create a comparison war.   My girls constantly hear how beautiful, adorable, cute, fill-in-the-blank with any other
