The first day of the rest of my life...


Yes, today is my last day of summer school. With 15 minutes left until the bell rings I am waiting in anticipation until it's over. Don't get me wrong, I had a wonderful class, but I am in need of a break. We moved into the new homestead on Saturday and are getting settled. It went smoothly but I must say I don't want to move again for a very very long time. I hate not knowing where anything is. In addition, I love that we have a cute old house, but I don't love all that cute old houses entail. Broken plugs, extremely large black widows, wrong outlets, short cabinets etc. Thank God that grandpa is handy and lives around the corner. It should be an exciting summer.

My first official day off.


Although school is still in session, I decided to take one of my confidential days off. It seems like a good time. Kids are watching a video, we're starting to pack up three years worth of crap and memories in our tiny 500 square foot apartment and I feel like I'm finally getting out of my first year teacher funk. Today was the first day that I ran in about 2 months. Last summer, before school started, I was running everyday and feeling great. But once school started, the exhaustion set in and I needed lots and lots of sleep. Today I ran a little over a mile. It was great! I can't wait to do it tomorrow! Today is also CSA day, I wonder what our little box will give us today. I hope that today is a preview as to what is to come for the next 2 months.
