But you know, when my apartment is smallish, I don’t have to clean so much haha

What was your best catch?

This hits hard because I am an elementary school teacher haha. Oh the pressure to prepare kids for a high-stakes exam.

I guess it’s up to us to preserve the fun for our kiddos

Take care. Hope next year will be better for you

As in, I feel the pressure from my workplace as my bosses might want me to be motivated in certain ways - but my heart wants me to focus on other things instead. This discrepancy exhausts me

Haven’t read you for a long time. Seems that you are still making memories with your princess.

This was fun to read - I think my children will love it there.
How long will you be stationed in Venezuela?

Which country is this in? This looks fun! I will like to do this at least once

Ya I know. I was just pulling your leg (about the default zap).

Is/was this the passion project that you consistently carved out time for?

And on to your 4th year
