Laugh!

I've mentioned that this school year has been particularly stressful, right?

Hopefully, you've deduced that given my lack of posting and tweeting and facebooking.  I have that I've fallen off the social media bandwagon; I love to blog and this is my attempt at dusting myself off and giving it another go.

Yes, we've both been stressed.  You see, my husband and I both teach in inner city schools where budgets have been slashed by people who have never seen the inside of a classroom (Perry, 2012).

Anyway, we both bring home work on a nightly basis and after Toph goes to bed, we sit on our couch and instead of having quality couple time, we halfway work, halfway watch TV and halfway stare into space.

Lately though, we've been doing this thing where we look at funny things and laugh together.  It focuses both our attention on the same thing and helps us scoot a little closer together while giggling our heads off.

It's very lovely.

I thought I would share with you some of the things that make us laugh.

I am not lying that when I say if given the opportunity, I would hand Toph to an Orc, just to see his reaction. (They're not real, guys. This isn't Middle Earth. As much as I wish it was sometimes.)

My math teaching husband and I got a real kick out of this one.

So funny.

This one takes the cake...we doubled over after looking at this one:

We also love this site, which is good for a laugh.  Autocorrect can come up with some crazy stuff!

In short, my recommendation if you're ever feeling down or anxious or stressed, make yourself laugh. And if you're lucky enough to have a handsome man sitting next to you, start laughing with him.
