When I typed that title up there, I chuckled a little. Well, I don’t know if I’d really call it a chuckle. Maybe it was a giggle. It wasn’t a huge guffaw or anything, but it was a little laugh of sorts that brought a twinkle to my eye.
Weird. Weird because I don’t usually type titles first, and weird because I usually hate my titles. Not weird because it’s a stupid title because I don’t usually write great titles. And not weird because I think it’s funny I usually find humor in things most people don’t. :P
Anyway. Yes, I’m behind again. Well, actually, I’ve never really caught up since, oh, about September. There are still quite a few boxes to be unpacked, and our bedroom and the library are in pretty sad states. But then we just moved December 7th, and there was Christmas and all…
So I’m behind at home. And I’m behind at school. And I’m behind on my website work. What’s new?
Well, the amount of website work is new — and really exciting, too! I got eight emails requesting materials today from teachers all across the US and Canada, for example. There were that many over the weekend, too, and I haven’t been able to respond to them yet.
A quick look at this site’s Google Analytics report shows 1,327 visits and 3,373 pageviews in the last 30 days! Very cool! And what’s even cooler is that those 1,327 visits were from people in 57 countries:
1. United States (1,089)
2. Canada (82)
3. United Kingdom (35)
4. Germany (14)
5. India (8)
6. Philippines (8)
7. Australia (8)
8. South Korea (5)
9. China (4)
10. Spain (4)
Wow!
I am so thankful for the opportunity to communicate with many of the teachers who visit my site. I love to get to know these people and find out what they’re doing in their classrooms. Many of the teachers who have emailed me or sent me messages through this site are new teachers, and I’m glad to be able to help them out a tiny bit because I remember being there!
So, please, let me know if you need something, but, please, don’t take offense if it takes me a while to respond. I’m only me. And at least it’s free. :P
