Back to Work, Back to Reality

Well it wasn't too bad. I am experienced enough now to realize that the dreaded OHHHHHH I have to go to wooooorrrrkkk feelings only last a few hours and then I start teaching and it's fine. I had a good day. I told the kids I didn't feel like writing and asked if they agreed. They did. (Surprise!) So I explained that we should make a list of excuses for why we can't write and give them to the principal. I made them write 10 Excuses for why they can't write today. Yeah, I am wicked like that. I had 2nd graders filling up two sheets of paper. And the 4th graders? They were all over it. It was wickedly evil and genius all in one. :)

Tonight we are ordering pizza and wings from Chuy's (the only place in Tucson for wings) and watching the Ohio Buckeyes play. The person who packed our wings, as you can see from the picture, seemed to be happy to be back to work too as they put a little message on our wing box.

Tomorrow Sweet Pea leaves for a vacation to Hawaii! I hope she and Mr. Sweet Pea have a great time together!

This post is rather random again. I think it's time to say goodnight, Gracie.
