Cah razy week

New job at school. I work with teachers. I work in the assessment/curriculum department at my school. I put in no less than 14 hours each day last week, with one day being from 6:30 am until 9:00 p.m. I was so ready for an ANDREW fix this weekend and that's exactly what we did!

I'll have to take an after of my office. I pictured it with beautiful curtains and plates, etc. Hahahahaha. Good thing I had Monday to move in! :-) I have papers EVERYWHERE but I stole borrowed a filing cabinet from an empty office and will try to get all the papers filed some time this week.

I bought a book this weekend, "How Full Is Your Bucket" and I am excited to read it. I am an empathetic person and that can backfire on me if not handled correctly. I tend to want the person who is talking to me to feel like I hear them and I understand. But if they are being negative, that mirroring in our conversation can either sound negative or feed into their negativity. I am hoping this book will make me more aware of that and pause before responding so that I can turn it into a positive while still empathizing with the person.

Here are my favorite Baby Roo photos from the weekend as well as a beautiful picture of our campus. Notice the beautiful clouds on the moutains. We've been enjoying the monsoon rains!
