Charli’s Carrot Ranch prompt this week:
September 5, 2019, prompt: In 99 words (no more, no less) write a story that shows true grit. You can use the phrase or embody the theme. Who or what has true grit? Go where the prompt leads you!

It’s not easy, teaching.
Sure, the kids are there from 9 to 3ish, but I’m still up at 6 am, at school at 7.30 am or a bit later if my kids drag their heels.
I set up, get the classroom ready to engage the minds of little sponges.
They go, and I’m there past 5 pm, clearing up the messes their enquiring minds created, assessing, planning, preparing for the next day.
Then I go home to be wife and mother.
I’m exhausted.
Don’t mention holidays…
But I love it.
It takes true grit to be a dedicated teacher.

Linda’s #SoCS prompt this week:
September 6, 2019 by LindaGHill 3 Comments
It’s the last day of the workweek and time for your Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt. It’s been a crazy week for weather on this side of the Atlantic. Hope everyone is and stays safe and dry. Here’s your prompt:
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “weigh/way/whey.” Use one, use ’em all, bonus points if you do that last thing. Enjoy!
The way to reduce the amount you weigh is to use whey protein in your shakes!
Boom!

Wishing life away

New kids in today – BRING IT ON!
Ritu 2019
Today, my new class finally start school officially. We have had the taster days, and the home visits are complete. I have met all the children bar one who has been away, and I do hope she is still coming!
There are some absolute beauts, and some beauts who are going to need a little more nudging, but it’s time!!!

For Linda’s #1LinerWeds Challenge!
