Boston was the much needed release..and now back to your regularly scheduled program

I can't even begin to tell you how much fun we had in Boston this weekend. It was insane! My stomach actually aches from all the laughing I did. I saw some old friends that I haven't seen in over two years, since Phish's last run actually! We did some serious hanging out amidst some walking around the city.

The Crew


Aren't we just the rockstars?

Then it started to rain, and we had to come home - five hours of driving in the rain..DRIVING RAIN at that! It wouldn't have been so bad, but the week had me mulling. why? Well..let's start with National Education Week..that means 3 days, where parents are in my classroom, for 2 hours, observing my teaching. Then, report cards were due yesterday. Did I mention that conferences start tomorrow afternoon? Oh, and my cats have fleas..and maybe that's why Denali is chewing his skin off!

I can't tell you how difficult it is to be on your game, for three days, while teaching new content. I mean really, what the heck do I know about the Mayans? I'm learning too!! Who knows what parents are walking into my classroom that just might know something, anything about those Mayans that I don't know..and then I've got to be on my game? With all this going on IN ONE WEEK? Now come on, it's a bit much if you ask me.

I go to bed early with the anticipation that my week will soon be over and before I know it, Thanksgiving will be here, and we'll once again get some much needed R and R. Until then, pray that I keep my sanity, ok?
