SOL Day 14 - Today's Word Is Balance

Today is smack in the middle of my spring break. Four days behind me, and four days ahead. 

 I gave in to the pushy voice that's been telling me I have too much work to do to really enjoy the week and went into the office for a few hours today. I was able to strike a few things off the To Do list, and let's be honest, who doesn't love that? 

 I'm a little irritated at myself, though, for listening to that pushy voice. I work too hard already, and if Pushy Voice had her way, that's all I would ever do. I have turned her off for the evening and am enjoying a documentary about Princess Diana. 

 Tomorrow I will spend part of the day with some girlfriends being pampered with pedicures. Nothing rejuvenates like a massage with hot rocks. Oh, I can feel it already!

 I still have some work I'd like to finish before I head back to school next week. But I'm not going to let it take over my break. 

 Stability, equilibrium, footing...today's word is balance.

    That massage sounds heavenly, as does the pedicure. I hope you find lots of R&R the next four days before returning to school and those difficult last days of the year.

SOL Day 15 - Today's Word Is Random

Today's the first day that I have sat down to write without an idea already brewing. So here are some random thoughts... Seems to me if we want students to believe that we consider them the future of our country, then maybe we should listen to what would make them feel safe at school.  I get the whole right to bear arms - just not sure I can connect that to the right to bear automatic weapons.  I love to watch mindless television shows like Survivor. I know they have no redeeming value, but I like them because I don't have to think. My favorite hobby is reading. When I'm really into a book, I'm torn between wanting to see how it turns out and not wanting the book to end. As soon as I finish a book, I usually buy a new one. I am enjoying writing in this blog more than I ever thought I would.  Without definite aim, reason, or pattern...today's word is random.

SOL Day 8 - Today's Word Is Thankful

The two curriculum directors I spend the most time with are both highly talented educators. I love the way we begin with one idea, and each add a different perspective. The final product is always better than any of us could have done alone. I love having a part in the teamwork. Our curriculum team presented our review materials to assistant principals today. Just like yesterday, they clapped as we unveiled the resources. Both times I had to hold myself back from taking a bow! Ha! Tomorrow is the beginning of a much needed break. I don't have specific plans for the days off, but that alone is a fabulous feeling! No schedule, no plans. Grateful, appreciative...today I am thankful.

SOL Day 19- Today's Word Is Tired

The first day back after break. Whew! It was nice to get back at it, but I wasn't quite ready for the day. I let myself fall into my preferred sleeping pattern over the break - up until 1:00 in the morning and sleeping until 8:00 or so each morning. While away from work, this was fabulous! Unfortunately, I slept until 9:00 Sunday morning, instead of getting back on a regular work week schedule. So it was no surprise that I couldn't get to sleep last night. I think it was around midnight before I finally fell asleep. That would have been fine if I hadn't planned to go in early this morning. I was rethinking that decision when the alarm went off at 4:45. Tonight I'm heading to bed at 8:30. My pajamas are already calling me!! Worn out, weary, zonked...today's word is tired.
