I have this thing about rainbows. I always seem to see them when I’m just having…a day. Maybe it is because they arrive after a storm and those will always put me in a foul mood. Or maybe it is because they just appear when I’m feeling a little down. Who knows.

Each Friday, I am hoping to list some things I am thankful for from throughout the week. So today it begins.
5 SOL 26: 5 Things You Should Know About Me
Inspired by Slice of Lisa’s 3 Things post structure from last year, I am going to write 5 Things lists on each of the days with 5 in them. Today I’m going to start with: 5 Things You Need to Know About Me.
4 SOL 26: Her Crowning Glory
She was born with a thick head of dark hair. It only got lighter and thicker from there. She never had that time when it fell out like happens with a lot of babies. She never even really had that “baby” kind of hair. You know what I mean? This wispy flyaway pieces. It’s always been like a big kid hair.

It’s mid-late August and all the teachers have been prepping their rooms for weeks. When I was a classroom teacher, it was about this time every year when I would start having nightmares about students’ desk tags having misspellings. I would also develop an eye twitch that would last until nearly Columbus Day.

I’ve got a problem. I think probably most of us do. I am a chronic doom scroller. I cannot tell you how many times I pick up my phone to intentionally send a text or check the weather only to find myself 6 episodes deep in the Shawna-verse.

SOL25: 31 ABCs
Another year written.
I’ve been slicing since 2017. Well—slicing in the annual March SOL Challenge. Every year I say that I am going to continue the Tuesday Slice Challenge and I fall off the horse pretty quickly. I’ll blame my ADHD. It’s my both my superpower and my super curse.
