SOL Day 16 - Today's Word Is Accomplished

Today felt like a Saturday. My husband Kenneth took the day off, and we spent the majority of it doing the little errands and tasks we usually do on Saturdays. We accomplished a lot and got a jump on our real Saturday.

 We spent the morning removing the leaves from the front yard. We have two live oak trees in our yard, so we get to bag leaves from our neighbor's trees in the fall and our trees in the spring. We're just lucky like that!

 This afternoon I met a girlfriend for a much needed pedicure. I had to hold in my sighs and moans through the hot rock massage. I didn't think anything could ever feel better than that, until she began to massage my feet. Sometimes if feels like the pedicurist is trying to rub a hole in my foot, but today's massage was Goldilocks-like - not too hard, not too soft. I was in the chair for over an hour and left feeling so relaxed.

 Now I'm watching one of my favorite old shows - Divine Design. I love seeing what Candice Olson will do to a space. When the show was first running, the designs were perfect for the time and some of them still are. But since it first aired in 2003, occasionally there will be a show with design ideas that are completely out of date. Even so, I love the thinking she shares as she decides how to redesign a room.

 Successful, complete...today I'm feeling accomplished.

    Except for the leaf raking, your day sounds wonderful. I miss seeing Candice Olson on HGTV. I'll have to revisit some of those old episodes.

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.
