Yawnnnnnnnnnn.....

Last night my big dilemma (other than, should I have a rum and cokezero or not) was what time I should wake up this morning.  The FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL (ba, ba, bum!).  I thought (briefly) about getting up around 5:30 and going for a (much needed) run.  I am pretty sure I even set the alarm for 5:30.  You know, five, THREE, zero. 

Too bad miss raven didn't get the memo.  She (and her bladder) decided that the appropriate time to wake me up would be 5:15.  Five, ONE, five.

Sigh.

So, while I didn't sleep in, I, um, didn't go for a run either.  Yes, the proper word to be thinking at this time would be L.A.Z.Y.  I'm not to proud to admit it.  I did, however, come home tonight and do an hour's worth of yardwork including mowing the lawn, using the weedwhacker, and trimming some branches from a couple of trees.  That should count for something.

The first day of school was pretty much what I thought it would be.  Busy, crazy, stressful, complicated, tiring exhausting...you know, all of those kinds of adjectives.  Not horrible, though.  I am pretty sure I was on my feet constantly from 7:30 to 11:45.  And then again from 2:30ish until 4:30.  Needless to say, my feeet are tired and sore.  Very, very sore.  They aren't used to be used quite so much!

I wish I could say that tomorrow won't be just as , but it will.  Actually, pretty much ALL of my week will be like that.  1 down, 179 to go.  Not that I am counting or anything.  LOL!!!  I said that to a student at the end of the day.  He said to me, "When you put it like that it sounds so depressing."  I had to laugh because he was right.  I told him to instead focus on the fact that we have nine more days of school until we get a day off (Labor Day).  That made him feel better and, you know what?  It made me feel better, too.

1 down, 9 to go....before Labor Day......
