Tuesday Treat

Good morning, Amanda.

Kids have no school today and the teacher workshops don't start until 8...so I get a little extra time this morning. What a treat to sleep a little later and have a few minutes to write! Reminds me that I am a firm believer that changing the start time would go a long way--for teachers and students....

Snoring: ugh. That's what I'll be dealing with this weekend. With or without a cold, I'm afraid, I don't get much sleep when W is here. Oh well, a relatively small price to pay, and it's not every day, so I won't complain. Or did I already?

Sounds like a good Halloween weekend for you. Doesn't surprise me that JJ ended up going out...My niece A did too with a bunch of friends. Why not, right? Middle-schoolers are kids, too.  I had a good weekend as well, although it really had no Halloween components. Rather, it just felt like a nice, fall weekend. And I was in a good mood.

Last night I was thinking that I didn't realize I was in a funk until...well...I guess I got out of the funk. I'm not sure what did the trick, if it was cleaning mid-week and having friends over which gave me a weekend without a thousand things to do so that when I sat around it was not in squalor or denial of everything I needed to do, or just getting to November 1 and finishing the two month transition from summer to the holidays, or feeling a little more recuperated financially after getting blindsided by the district and not getting paid until September 10 when we expected to paid at the end of August, or if it was something else or a combination, but something did the trick. I feel better. And I didn't realize I felt bad.

I hope you have a good week at work. Maybe I'll hear from you again before the weekend?...

Take care, Love you,
Barb
