Spring Break officially comes to an end today. I'm devastated. Back to the doldrums of the daily work schedule, made even more grueling thanks to the addition of soccer practices and games. Having a break is fantabulous—no lie—it’s truly one of the best parts of teaching… I don’t even pretend that I’m one of those “I’m gonna change the world” people!!! My bestest friend, Jessimon, offered great insight on the detrimental aspect of the b-r-e-a-k. You see what life’s like on the other side—the side where you don’t have to get up and do things that you really don’t want to do. Breaks make going back to reality REALLY hard…especially this year.
Jesse took the first part of the week off from work, but I was more than ready for Thursday. It’s okay though. He knows my opinion on this and I think if you forced him to share his opinion, he would agree! Being around someone 24/7 has NEVER worked for me! Maybe that has something to do with the fact that I’m a “brat.”
Being home all week allowed me to spend lots of quality time with my precious puppies! I love those little guys. At 9 months, Toby is finally learning to shake. He isn’t the quickest learner, and truth be told, he’s probably a non-reader.
One of the fun things about living in Ozark (other than the fact that Sonic is directly across the street from the Jr. High school… mmm… dream job!) is all of the fabulous antique stores. Even better, Jesse doesn’t mind going with me, or he's a REALLY good actor! I loooooove looking at old things—particularly the furniture—I have two pieces picked out that I REALLY want…soon! While browsing, we happened upon a John Deere riding tractor… like the kind I rode around on when I was a kid (such the tomboy!) if it hadn’t been $329.75, I might have taken it home to cruise around the neighborhood.
It made me think of my Papaw Bennie and spending time with him. To put it bluntly, it sucks that my family all lives so far away! I guess the Mississippi River is pretty wide... well, anyway, today is my papaw's birthday.
Happy Birthday Papaw Bennie!
