three words

Today, we pause from our regular scheduled programming to get to know me better (I had an exciting post about music and peeing my pants in my minivan planned that will just have to wait…).

Me and all my awkward photos are wrecking havoc on Living in Yellow‘s blog today and I felt like if people happened to stumble over here, I didn’t want them to be confused and alienated.

I’ll save those feelings for tomorrow, obviously.

Okay, let’s start again…

Hi, I’m Mary, this is my blog. I’m a middle school English teacher who loves to read young adult lit and might be having a one-third life job crisis. Apparently, I don’t know what I want to do when I grow up. If you have any ideas, I’m all ears. I have the maturity of the twelve year olds I teach, so it works out well for now.

I’m married to a beard, tattooed man I met at the circus (okay, not really, but that would make a great story) and we have two sassy little girls who are the greatest and hardest thing I’ve ever done.

But really, that’s enough about me. Now I want to play a game. This is something I do with my students often when I need to kill some time to help educate them to be tomorrow’s leaders: describe yourself in just three adjectives.

Mine: tall, organized, and tired.

What are yours??
