I had the best night reconnecting and making new friends at church! We had a Nights of the Round Table (An excuse to get together, eat, talk, connect, laugh, win prizes, you get the idea) The tables were round and thus the name…The seating was random so you were forced would be able to get to know new ladies. My round table totally rocked! We had 7 ladies ranging in age from early 21 to 85! 5 out of 7 of us were teachers in some way or another! The discussion was absolutely fantastic. I am energized and I feel such a connection. It was so similar to blogging and getting those amazing comments from colleagues that just brighten your whole day! Here’s the only picture I took.

| These women are in my life group that meets on Sunday nights. I am in the pink scarf. It would be better if it had gray giraffes on it like Kristina and Farley’s…but it will do. |
I wanted to share that because it just made me want to shout from the rooftops internet about how much having the support of other women, teachers, and friends, can change your perspective and fuel you with the insight and knowledge to get through anything you may be going through…and we are all going through something! So I just want to be sure to let you all know how much I appreciate every comment, follower, and blogger that I get the privilege to know…or virtually know…!!! I also appreciate when some of you email me with questions! I love getting to know you!
Also I got tagged and I think I was playing FREEZE TAG because I didn’t respond very quickly and now I feel a little overwhelmed. So most importantly I want to thank these ladies for wanting to play tag with me!

I am going to pull a Hadar (Miss Kindergarten) here and post a video instead of answering questions. Mostly because I don’t have it in me to answer 12 X 6 questions…sorry I teach first grade…I don’t know my 12s anymore. So please do the math yourself. It’s the weekend…so if you don’t want to do the math I grant you a math pass.
I am also posting this because my teacher singing video was brought up tonight at our ladies night at church. A third grade teacher at my table said they played it during a staff development thing for her district and she recognized it as me. I can’t even believe that. I had a small movie star name in lights moment but…then I remembered how I sang on that…. and that brought me right back down to reality. But terrible singing or not…I did it for teachers because I know we can all relate. So I am going to post it here as a tribute to teachers young and old, elementary and secondary.
And you can unfreeze now…because I just tagged you!

love this video! i remember watching it when you posted it the first time. It's great! I feel the same way about having a community of women to support you. At my church I went to before, I started a girls ministry with high school girls. Almost all those girls are in college now, but we are still close and I learned a ton from them.

You are hilarious!!! Cannot wait to share this with my teachers. I teach at a very large school and once a year we get the opportunity to have a mini conference on a PD Day. Next week I get to head up an inservice (with another blogstalking teacher)introducing teachers to the amazing world of teacher blogs.
Awesome video!! Totally need to share this with my fellow teachers!

You're my hero, Reagan Tunstall!
Some people may not recognize you as "the one in the video," since "the one rockin' the pink scarf" looks so different.
Still love the hair!!!
PS Please tell the Computer Genius that I saw a ROBLOX gift card in the grocery store. I felt so "in the know"! I wanted desperately to tap the nearest shopper and say "Hey! I know what that is, do you?!" Of course, store security might have had some concerns about me engaging strangers in conversations with such enthusiasm…

I am going to say right now that I love you and love stalking your blog! You are so funny! I must meet you and Farley the next time you do a bloggy meet-up! I am wondering if my principal will count it as PD and let me make the 5 hour drive to SA!

Such a cute video! Glad you could put to words why we all teach! As for me… I'm not posting any videos any time soon. I stick to blog stalking and blog posting for now. That is, only when i'm not teaching! What a brave gal you are for singing in the first place!
