Being the mommy and teacher that I grew up to be, I had to find new methods of handling the stress of dealing with adulting and the stupidity that is referred to as humankind.
When I am stressed, I claw at the ground, I pull out weeds, give a full-force foot stomp to the shovel, and throw chunks of dirt into the air. I may not get to cuss and scream, but I grunt and grumble with the best of the gardeners that understand how gardening is really anger management.
Did I mention that these gloves look like they came out of the costume closet for The Creature of the Black Lagoon? Time to upload some '90's thrasher metal on the iPod and start kicking Earth's butt!

Keep scrolling until you see my example from the smart board. That is where you will find what you are looking for on your academic journey. The initial stuff is important teacher junk.
