It's a beautiful morning in NYC. The humidity is gone and there's a cool breeze and warm sun. It's a great day to celebrate what we call a "balance" day at work. On Fridays we normally dismiss the kiddos at 1PM and stay at school for meetings and professional development. Every once in awhile we get to leave with the kids at 1 so we could celebrate work-life balance. The sad truth is that many professionals, not just teaching, don't know how to balance their professional and personal responsibilities. I don't know that I've completely mastered this thing, but I know it's possible. If you want it badly enough you'll get it - just ask any unruly five year old. I can't believe it's taken me nearly all of my first 12 years of teaching but I've designed lesson plans, quizzes and homework through the last day of school - three weeks ahead of schedule. What will I be doing after work today? Getting my work out done with the Mrs. Is that balance? I don't know. I don't make scales for a living.
Today's bow came via the man behind LouisLien bow ties. This guy does some awesome work. Do yourself a favor and check out his collection. I'm a huge fan of polkadots and diamond point ends so this number really is one of my faves.
