This week has been such a blessing! Having a week off to relax and spend time with the family, shop, blog, watch TV, visit friends and reconnect is wonderful! I read somewhere that a teacher has to make over half a million decisions a day. I believe that is true! With all that to think about we have to be tired! TGIF!
Juan had off all this week, except today, and David and Joy have been off since Wednesday so we have been able to spend some time just hanging out. Now, I must admit, togetherness can be too together at times, if you know what I mean...ha! But, I enjoy having the family all in the living room or at the dinner table at one time.
Confession...I did not clean my house or finish the laundry. I did not bathe the dog or clean out my closet. I did not get down the Christmas decorations or start my Christmas shopping. "So, what did you do?" you might ask. Nothing! Nothing that I did not want to do! I sat in my chair with my laptop and surfed. I laid on the love seat with my blanket and my dog. I drank my Guinness. I ate whatever I wanted. I stayed up late. I watched trash TV. Glorious times, I'm telling you!!!
But, Sunday night will come quickly and I will have to prepare myself for reality (not reality TV!). The next three weeks will be full of trying to get "it" all crammed in before Christmas Break. We will be super stressed at school just trying to get the kids to learn instead of wish for Santa. We will have class parties, school parties, lunches, lots of parents, testing...you know...all the usual stuff that comes between the Thanksgiving Break and the Christmas Break. And, on top of all that I have to keep the teachers from doing the same thing as the kids...wishing the three weeks would just hurry by! It is so hard to do, though. But, three weeks is a long time and we have to get so much done even though no one really wants to. This is hard to explain to anyone who is not in education. These are three tough weeks coming up!
I am going to leave now and go get ready for my nice relaxing sushi lunch! YUM-O!! I love sushi and I rarely get to eat it because very few of my friends will eat it. So, Joy and I are going to lunch with Debbie, my cousin's wife, and we going to relish in our California, Mexican and Birthday rolls, our Lemon martinis and good company!
Wishing you all a great weekend and a wonderful upcoming Christmas season!

you sound like me-not doing all the productive things I'd planned and hoped to do! But that is ok, b/c relaxation is a hard thing to come by and that's why I'm SO thankful that this week was filled with it!=)
