Tell me why I saved up 60 sick days to only be able to use 6 weeks of them for maternity leave… then I have to take unpaid leave and pay the BOE for my insurance. Not sure if it’s my hormones or the injustice that is US maternity leave that’s making me cry now 💔💔💔

Fourth day in a row of fireworks… my poor doggies can’t handle this anymore 😓

Hey #langchat, I'll be on maternity leave mid-Oct through early Dec. What would you leave for Spanish 1 sub plans? We'll be wrapping up EntreCulturas Unit 1 (new text we're following). I'm stressing way too much about this.

Half of my back to school anxiety this year is the comments I’m anticipating about my belly as a person who’s struggled with self image. Yep I’m 8 months pregnant now, please don’t remind me how big I am 😖

When admin cares: we had meat breakfast sandwiches catered this morning, and my AP brought me and my other veggie colleague oatmeal 🥲❤️

Teaching in the 3rd trimester is no joke 😓

Also I accidentally wore my dress backwards until lunchtime so the pregnancy brain is not doing me any favors

Because I still don’t have a name picked out I got this from some 7th graders today 😅

I got my copy @welangley!!

It’s been a while, Twitter. I’m a mom and an NBCT now!!

Lisa Di Bartolomeo ☮️🇺🇦🌈 This decision is outrageous and means that #WVU no longer intends to be a university. Language study has always been a core subject and is essential to understanding the world. The future of WVU is to be a vocational school with an athletics program.

Back on the app for a bit to help advocate for the WVU WL program. Lots of my students plan to go there, but now might change their minds. Absolutely ridiculous decision!

I have my first intern this year, yay! Any advice, #langchat?

First day back to work is tomorrow and I’ve had tears in my eyes all day because I can’t spend all day with my little guy. This is the hardest back-to-school ever 😢
