I did it, y’all! Passed my Praxis reading with a 192/200 and math with 196/200! Absolutely crushed it! Those are technically unofficial scores-final results plus writing grades will be released in August, but the fact remains-I passed! 🤩

Rejoined the gym. Downloaded @gains-skeets.bsky.social GAINS 2.0. Let’s do this. 💪🏻

A holiday week and long weekend, and my professor gave us double the work-two full chapters. Ughhhh I am stressing.

Any tips for a “No Spend” month? I’m trying to make and save as much money as possible so that I’m prepared to survive student teaching.

Beth @wndrwmn.bsky.social · 01/07/2025

Because being a substitute teacher, in grad school, and full time parenting wasn’t enough… ya girl went and got herself another part time job. 🤦🏼‍♀️ Gotta keep the hustle going if I’m going to get this dang license. Prepping myself financially for when I student teacher and can’t work.

Let my kid post ONE video to TikTok and dude gets over 1500 views. 🤣

Beth @wndrwmn.bsky.social · 15/06/2025

Woohoo, the kiddos come home today! And next week, I’ll be saying woohoo, the kiddos go to their dad’s today! Welcome to summer schedule. 😂

It’s being handled by the courts and there’s a 20% interest on backpay, so I’m just letting them take care of it for now. They’ll take his tax refund, won’t let him renew his license, etc. Not that he seems to care.

He’s also behind thousands on child support but bought her a $$$ puppy from a breeder for her birthday.

This is the same man who once dressed her in his adult male clothing, using a rope to tie the waist band of her “pants” b/c they were made for a 40 y/o man and not an 11 y/o girl, b/c I’d forgotten to pack her overnight bag. Yanno, instead of taking her to the store to get 3 days’ worth of clothes.

Beth @wndrwmn.bsky.social · 11/06/2025

My daughter wears custom made bathing suits b/c she’s trans and they “protect her modesty.” My ex took the kids on a waterpark vacation & swore he had last summer’s suit for her to wear, that she’d tried it on and it still fit. This was, in fact, a lie. Now, she’s wearing some off the rack nonsense.

Beth @wndrwmn.bsky.social · 03/06/2025

Grades are 1. not an indication of a child’s worth 2. not a judgement on parents. Is your child kind, respectful, and helpful? Are you attentive, patient, and supportive? Life is so much more than grades and it is easy to lose sight of that, especially as end-of-year assessments roll in.

Fun fact: I’ve ridden in the Goodyear Blimp 3 times.

One of my student’s parents wrote to me, “[My child] says you are fun and silly, but never let the class get too out of control.” 🤣 I’ll take it! 💜

Beth @wndrwmn.bsky.social · 03/06/2025

School’s out for summer and I am basically unemployed, now. 😅

Beth @wndrwmn.bsky.social · 03/06/2025

This school year put me through the wringer. I was a long-term substitute for kg-1st special ed, fourth grade, and fifth. Each quarter was very long. I am burnt out and beat up. But, the number one thing I’m coming out of this year with is: teaching is the right career for me.

Opted for dine-in at the further location. It was nice, though the bar was full so I had to sit solo at a table. I don’t love taking up someone’s four-top but I think my dining and tipping habits make up for the lost plates.

Beth @wndrwmn.bsky.social · 31/05/2025

I’m a full time parent, student, and teacher. There is no room in my life for dating. I don’t have the desire or energy to date. But. I miss cuddles and someone to share events with. I’m very good at being solo, but miss the enrichment of a companion.

Beth @wndrwmn.bsky.social · 31/05/2025

I’ve been happily single for four years, but feelings of loneliness and boredom are creeping in. Not sure if I’m actually craving companionship or just need a med check after a particularly cold and rainy spring. 😅

My favorite restaurant has two locations in my city. One is closer to my house, but has crappy service, the other is further away, but the service is potentially better. Which spot do I go to?

Beth @wndrwmn.bsky.social · 30/05/2025

I knew I did not want my current position when I accepted it because it was way too much work for the pay. I was told if I wanted to further my career with my employer, it was strongly advised to take the gig. Just three more days. Friends, I haven’t been this stressed since my divorce.

Beth @wndrwmn.bsky.social · 28/05/2025

I am hanging on by a thread right now. My mental health is tanked, my energy, sapped. All I want to do is shut down and sleep but I have to keep pushing for one more week. I expected this but there’s nothing I could actually do to prepare. Just have to white knuckle it.

Update: he’s spending 90 days in jail due to priors.

The hardest part about being divorced is not being able to share my memories and feelings with the person who went through it all with me.

One of the sweetest photos of all time!

Having an almost 13 y/o means sending them a screencap of an Instagram post and saying, “This was your birth announcement!” 😅

My daughter turns 13 on Monday and I am beginning to feel all the emotions. 🥹🥺

Beth @wndrwmn.bsky.social · 22/05/2025

Yeah, they’ve been asleep the whole time and didn’t catch any of the commotion. I do have to warn them that they cannot interact with the neighbors, now, though.

210

Beth @wndrwmn.bsky.social · 22/05/2025

I should be asleep right now, but a DV situation spilled into my front yard, I had to deal with cops, and my neighbor threatened me. Adrenaline is way too high.

Beth @wndrwmn.bsky.social · 21/05/2025

I love the conversations, content, and connections I can make with the older students. I’ve had a lot of fun this year! But I think I make a more significant impact and have better control/classroom management with the youngest kids.

Beth @wndrwmn.bsky.social · 21/05/2025

After almost a year of teaching the upper elementary grades, I am now certain I am built for the littles. Kindergarten and first grade is my sweet spot.

Beth @wndrwmn.bsky.social · 21/05/2025

They just canceled our school ice cream social due to tomorrow’s forecasted weather. I am soooo sad, I volunteered to pass out ice cream so that I could be sure to see all my students before the school year ends.

Beth @wndrwmn.bsky.social · 16/05/2025

We live in a neighborhood where my kids can roam until the streetlights come on and I don’t have to worry. I love it here.

One of the worst parts about being a teacher is having to make sub plans when you’re sick.

130

Beth @wndrwmn.bsky.social · 15/05/2025

Hahah, indeed! Writing samples are definitely the worst things to grade!

110

Beth @wndrwmn.bsky.social · 15/05/2025

A lot of my colleagues don’t like grading, but I get a kick out of it. It’s selfish, but I love the satisfaction of seeing that yes, I actually *taught* my students something. The info made its way into their brains. When a student doesn’t do well, it gives me the opportunity to grow as an educator.

I keep going viral on Threads when I post about my transgender daughter and it. is. WILD. The haters are there, but gosh. Our trans community is so damn beautiful and supportive. 🏳️‍⚧️

Grades are in and ya girl got a 4.0 for the semester. 😎🤓

Ask anyone why our flights are delayed and it starts with, “Well, Trump…” 🤬

Beth @wndrwmn.bsky.social · 26/04/2025

For many, many reasons, my ex-husband and I could only have two children, but gosh. I wish I could have had three kids, even with as difficult as my pregnancies were.

Beth @wndrwmn.bsky.social · 18/04/2025

My anxiety is through the roof. I’m sitting here at the gate waiting to board my flight and o feel like I’m on the verge for no good reason. These flights need to get me to my bae ASAP.

My boss sends out the staff newsletter on the weekends. I really don’t think it’s fair that she expects us to read it on our days off.

Beth @wndrwmn.bsky.social · 14/04/2025

Y’all. I bought a car! And not just any car. A gorgeous Lexus RX350. Me… a Lexus!! It is in perfect condition, driven less than 7500 miles/year. I am in luuuuuv. 😍

Beth @wndrwmn.bsky.social · 09/04/2025

My daughter had her name legally changed in 2023 and today, her state testing for middle school had her deadname on it. I am LIVID.

Beth @wndrwmn.bsky.social · 09/04/2025

Just remembered I have to take an exam tonight. 🤦🏼‍♀️ Spring break cannot get here soon enough. I’m spent.

Beth @wndrwmn.bsky.social · 08/04/2025

I am not going to have that money before my rental car is due back, which means I’m not going to have a car unless I continue to pay for the rental. I’m so annoyed and PO’d.

Beth @wndrwmn.bsky.social · 08/04/2025

I have been waiting two years to receive my payout from my divorce. The check arrived this week but was made out in my married name, not my current name, so the bank won’t deposit it. Meanwhile, my car got totaled out today and I need that money to buy a new one before next Tuesday.
