10. You have a phone/camera on your body at ALL times.
9. You speak fluent blogger:
“Hey did you join the linky for TpT?” “Not yet. but I did get my melonheadz”
8. You equate spans of time in relation to posts:
“I haven’t been to starbucks since I posted about Johnny Appleseed” I need to get my nails done. The last time I needed that was when I wrote it in my August Currently…”
7. In one hand is the phone/camera, but in the other is CAFFEINE.
6. The best 2 minutes of the day when you can lock yourself in the teacher’s bathroom to read posts, check forums, and read comments.
5. You can’t remember what the family ate for dinner last night because you were too busy to make them anything. “I have to get this post out by 8 or all the teachers are asleep!”
4. You are super pumped to teach on bloggable days and feel down and out when your day consists of “unbloggable” material.
3. Your network of blog friends enter your head all day long and you can’t wait to share what happened at school with someone that totally relates.
2. Everything in your room is coated in a shiny plastic with fabulous fonts and colorful graphics and you have your bloggy friends and TpT to thank for that!
and the number 1 blogging side effect is that you are compelled to buy and wear super cool shirts like this one!

Or When you refer to blogs by the bloggers name and IRL friends think you are keeping a new friend from them…..ROFL…..Hello my friend Reagan hope all is well with you 🙂
Hi Reagan,
You look adorable in your Keep Calm shirt! I wanted to let you know that I've BOO'd you! You're one of my blogger idols! Check it out:

LOL can totally relate. Love the shirt
This was so true! I panic when I put my camera down in my room and then can't find it when something good is happening!! Also, unbloggable days are the worst. I feel like it makes me a better teacher because I try to do more engaging stuff so I can write about it!
Marvelous Multiagers!
Bahahaha! I LOVE IT Reagan! These are all so unbelievably true! I love your shirt too! I think I need one that says…Keep Calm and Blog On! Or maybe it should say Keep Calm and Blog When You Can? Thanks for the laughs! :o)

Cute shirt, I'm loving apples all of a sudden. I found a b&w chevron apple and fell in love! Wish the teacher store had the pattern for my classroom – borders and such.
Yes, I found a ton of things through blogs and I tweaked a lot of my teaching style…so much so that the district is coming in to video tape my class Wednesday! AHHHHHHHHH.
Laughing and nodding along to every word! Especially number 6 & 5. So true-!!

Way cute shirt! I can't get signal in the bathroom in my classroom so I pretend to sort papers by the window while strategically looking at my phone. First grade teachers are so good at being sneaky

I love the post and the shirt. You are one of my favorite bloggers, so many great ideas and your visual plans have saved my bacon this year. Have a great week.

Love!! I thought I was the only one sneaking my phone in the potty. I balance it delicately on the top of the tp holder, I figure it's the least germiest part of the whole place and I live in fear that mid flush it's going to slide off and fall in toilet. I may have to rethink that strategy…

Love your shirt!
All of it is so true!! PS- I love the shirt!!!
So funny! I had a teacher pull me aside today and ask me if I've ever heard of this website called TPT and I should get on it. I said "Oh honey! Thanks for thinking of me, but I've been a seller since February!" It's cute (and kind of sad) how many teachers haven't been hooked by the bloggy world.
Emily @ Second Grade Silliness
This is so true! I have a student teacher right now and she is in her full teach, so I haven't been able to do anything with my class that I can blog about. On one hand it's great because I have time to work on stuff for my store, but on the other hand I am itching to try out some of the great ideas I've been seeing!
