“This jacket smells like I wore it to softball 9 times. That’s because I did!” #directquote #teacherlife #yuck

@BernieSanders I should also mention that teachers don’t get paid hourly, but salary. So we don’t actually get paid for all of the extra hours we put in outside of 7am-4pm daily that are our contracted hours. So essentially, the more we work (to help our students) the LESS we get paid hourly.

[Rebekah Tatum @rebekahmacdaddy]

@BernieSanders Agreed. But teachers who have a degree, work 50+ hours a week, and barely make $20/hour better get a pay raise if the minimum goes up to $15/hour. There is no reason that the people educating the future of our country should struggle to make ends meet.

Conversation I overheard this morning:
*kid can’t find his jacket*
Dad: It’s not in your backpack? I told you to check before we left! Well, go outside and freeze!

@TheMrsZilla I'm to the point where I say "oof," when I bend down, weeks pregnant.

@jennafischer It's always been capped at $250! After I spent $900 last year I made a vow to spend WAY less in my classroom this year and only spend on necessities. It's been working great!

I've cleaned up dog vomit 5 times today. Happy Christmas break to me!

[Rebekah Tatum @rebekahmacdaddy]

I legitimately just had trouble remembering if I'm 25 or 26. Like I had to think about the year I was born and then do the math. Is this getting old, or pregnancy brain?

[Rebekah Tatum @rebekahmacdaddy]

Student: Mrs. Tatum what are those?
Me: Animal crackers....
Him: Oh, they look like dog treats!

Baby kicks, baby kicks, baby kicks. It's too freakin adorable and I'm already in love 😍💕

We're having a girl! 💕

Welp how did I end up here? 🤷🏻‍♀️

[Rebekah Tatum @rebekahmacdaddy]

@Ross_Rice Ahhh I didn't know you could do that! Thanks! 🙌🏼

[Rebekah Tatum @rebekahmacdaddy]

Do you ever follow someone and then realize it was a mistake and want to unfollow them but are afraid they have that one app that shows when people unfollow them? What if they notice?! Currently my predicament for several people. #whattodo 🤔

@CommonWhiteGrl Why is this cute? Have we really lowered our standards that much that a text proposal is appropriate??

Dealing with hospital bills and insurance companies is INFURIATING.
