I got up today at 4:20am. This was after about an hour of tossing and turning because I just couldn't get comfortable. Ultimately, I knew I was just anxious about getting back to school after more than a week off. So, I got up, came out to the living room, had some computer time, and cuddled with Bowie. Finally, I heard my alarm go off and Craig came stumbling out. He was checking stuff on his computer and said, "Aurora is closed today." The way he said it sounded so fake. He does that stuff to be a lot so I wasn't about to believe him. He kept insisting, and even said Marshfield was close. Then I knew he was kidding because they had school yesterday! Craig finally showed me on his computer and sure enough it said we were close. Still didn't believe him. I had to get my own computer and check for myself. I can't believe it. We have been out of school for more than a week. We'll go back for 4.5 more days and then we have 2 weeks.
To all those who aren't teachers, it may been seen as something awesome. However, teachers know that it's not. Especially at the end of a semester. There are so many things I didn't get to cover, and things I have to cram in within 4 days. One thing is for sure. We will NOT be skipping out on cleaning the art room. Oh no.
So, I guess I will get our Christmas cards finished, probably start on some knitting, and get to work on planning the next semester. I don't want it to be as stressful and chaotic as this last one.
