a few crackers, a banana, two oatmeal banana cookies (delish!) and 1 pickle. It's 4:40pm. Weekends are weird.
Wait...
...add another pickle. :)
January and February have happily flown by. I owe this mainly to my purposefully planned mini(big) vacations. Previous years, I have always hated January/February, mainly due to freezing temperatures, the lack of sunshine and the absence of breaks/vacation time after a long Christmas break. My life revolves around a public school schedule. So this year a trip to NYC with Chey at the end of January and a little weekend break in the middle of February for a conference in Seattle and a visit with Natalie really made my winter not so awful.
Now for spring - PUH-LEEZE! The winter blues have not completely escaped me. It's March and March should equate to sunshine and flowers. But it doesn't. Instead, I get rain and wind. Thankfully I have coaching track to keep me busy until the sunshine arrives.
Not sure why I'm talking about the weather...but I guess it's because I've got A LOT of crazy stuff on my mind and talking about the weather is easy.
Things on my mind:
- UGH - lesson planning. I really love lesson planning (KEYWORD: planning). Actually getting all my materials together is really annoying. Why can't their be two of me?
- Grading. Seriously - worst thing ever.
- House improvement/decorating crafts - i've taken a sharp decline in this department, after a rapid acceleration (hey...ignore my vocabulary...i'm teaching about motion and forces right now...)
- my procrastination with advising the prom committee. i have tons of ordering to do.
- spring break plans with friends - Canada??
- why does Lily (the pup) still insist on submissively peeing? Gr!
- Dan is amazing (he's had some impressive offers (=$$$) for a piece that he got into a juried show at school).
- my sunday school lesson (yes, i teach 6 days a week)
- my NYC trip (can I go back?...right now?)
- planning my life + dan +children (constantly on my mind)
- my school district budget cuts for next year. (seriously America? can we please value education a little bit more. I'm disgusted.)
- my teensy tiny track team. (the kids we have are extremely dedicated, but it's a rebuilding year for sure. one or two girl hurdlers & not even one boy hurdler. hrmph!)
- summer vacation plans.
- The Bachelor - was Reality Steve really wrong all this time. GRRR?! (Stupid, I know!)
- i should really go make something to eat for myself...before I waste away and die of starvation...
So that's that.
PS - check out my new label.
