Sooooooo happy that you are focusing on running your business. You seem much happier. You even look "lighter", and that has nothing to do with weight. Your overall appearance just looks like you are not weighed down with the ins and outs of being a teacher. Very happy for you, Michelle.

Aww, thank you! Yes, I feel much lighter (in terms of having less pressure on my shoulders) and healthier (physically, mentally, and emotionally) as a result. I'm absolutely happy and it brings me even more joy to have support from people like you so thank you!

Retired school teacher here. I’m not a morning person either, my mom put me in afternoon Kindergarten because I was a grump in the morning. Teaching 4th and 5th grade school started at 8, I told my students not to ask anything of me until 9 am or if the saw me drink 2 cups of coffee. They learned quickly mornings were smoother if they did they followed that simple rule. Wish you had been on KZbin 8+ years ago. You have amazing content!

I am sorry I am at the end of my career life finding you! I could have used a friend like you to guide me through my career with balance and organization of all things. I just packed up my classroom to move to another building and I decided this is my last year! I've been working since 1985 and doing my career since 1989, and worked at my current job since 1993. 🙃 It's been a LOT to box for the move! 🤦♀️ I have so much experience and materials that go with the experience that it seems like my life was boxed up! Wow! God bless you and the hubby as you are getting your start and making your selves settled in your new home in your new state! I'm excited to see what life brings to you and how you tackle it! 🙌 I am so sorry that the kids are missing a fabulous teacher but good for you to be able to take the opportunity to follow your other options at the moment and the interest exists in you too! That's great! I hope you continue to be well! God bless and be safe! Stay happy and rested!

I can only wish to stay home and work lol. This is my 22nd year of teaching and this is the hardest year by far. I feel like it’s my first year and it’s taking me longer to get into the groove of things. I truly thank you for creating all of your videos. I always look at my you tube app every day to see if there’s a notification for a pocketful of primary video lol. One question, what do you use to hold your phone during your walks? I put my phone in a smallish backpack and I find it annoying to have to flip the bag around to take the phone out to answer the phone or change podcasts etc. Again, thanks so much for the videos, I find such a sense of calm and relief when I watch them. Dare I say I also feel motivated to do whatever work that needs to get done! Thank you!!

There isn't an actual recipe but basically we toss the shrimp in flour, coat them in egg, and then toss them in a breadcrumb and coconut flake mixture! Then we cook them for about 6 minutes per side (12 minutes total) in the air crisper. Hopefully that helps! I'll consider doing a house cleaning routine if enough people ask for it!
