Say No to Stress Linky Party

I have less than one month of summer vacay left...  I thought about that as I reached for my cup of coffee this morning after waking up at 9:45...  Then I got really sad.  As I look at all the changes I'm facing this school year, I wondered how other teachers de-stress and unwind throughout the school year.  Besides venting on my blog, I enjoy coffee in my favorite coffee cup..

Isn't that the coolest coffee cup ever??  Especially with a fresh cup of coffee with that new York Peppermint Patty creamer....oh yummo!  When I'm feeling especially ODD (not odd, but Oppositional Defiant...) I grab my coffee cup and go to my happy place :)

So, what do you do to unwind during the school year?  Coffee gets me through the day, but on really stressful days, I shop online when I get home.  Coach purses, expensive shoes, stuff that a teacher would never afford in a million years and browse... pinterest has helped with the browsing, so has Polyvore.  

Hot bubble bath doesn't hurt either :)  or a trip to the local Mexican restaurant for an adult beverage :)

So, help out some fellow teachers.  We all need new ways to try to unwind and destress throughout the school year.  Let us know how you do it!!  Add the linky button to your blog post and spread the word!!
