Last real day off

Since Wednesday here's what's gone down:

Thursday-Sat through a survivable "Write from the Beginning" training and an excruciating Science one. Found Cheez-It dust in my book bag. Real cute mom.

Friday-Tried to work on a science lesson as a grade level. It took all my will power not to throttle a team member. Not being grade level lead makes it much easier to reign in the impulse. Worked on the room the remainder of the day, boned out at 3:50 and headed to the land of palms and sea breezes. Met up with Aimee (back from the honeymoon) and Georgette at the Onion and scrapped the night away. Good times that.

Saturday-Went to the school to continue with crap I didn't finish Friday. Spent about 4 hours taking out my teacher's editions, hanging up construction backing on the boards, engineering the calendar to work on the back wall. Realized the sink was disgusting. Made plans to return Sunday.

Sunday-Staples, Office Max, Starbucks, school to scrub sink and make nameplates for the desks. Only stayed two hours and came home. It's as good as it's going to get.

Today-Planning on doing some scrappage after I check out the situation in New Orleans on Good Morning America, CNN and MSNBC. I hope things go better this go round than they did during Katrina. Gustav better play a bit nicer. It seems most are a bit more prepared. Other plans: Maybe hit a movie this afternoon? Maybe nap all day? Honestly, I'll be lucky if I shower before 3pm :) Plus I've got to get clothes ironed for tomorrow (the first day is the only day this happens) and a lunch packed.
