I had a really great week doing nothing. Ha... not really. I did a lot! I even went to work for a few hours on monday to get my desk cleaned up, file some papers, and get some paperwork done for my kidos so I can keep track of their progress in math tutoring. I got to visit my friend Hannah, tried to go snowboarding but it was too icy and hard, spent time with my mom and took the niece and nephew to The Science Zone for a while, saw my sister for a bit, and I got to have lunch with Nate everyday... but Friday. Instead I slept in and took the dog to the dog park to walk/jog while he played in the river and climbed his trees. I began a big project in our home office also. We got a file cabinet for cheap (legal size with 4 drawers) and I began going through our papers and pictures and began filing things so that we are more organized. I threw a couple of boxes... BIG boxes of paper and old junk mail away... i think that stuff has been around since we got married. I recycled old magazines and cleaned up our room of stuff that was just laying around doing nothing. The organization of the office may take a few more lazy days (whenever that will happen again) to really get done. I am contemplating having a garage sale in June, but... ya know. It may be easier to sell some stuff through the school district classifieds/email and then give all our junk to salvation army or some place like that.
Anyway... now it's Sunday night and I really need to write my "professional goal" and submit it to HR this week. Gotta love all the logistics of working for such a large employer. It's a good job though and I really do like what I get to do. I want to be at Bar Nunn again next year too and I am thinking about beginning my master degree in Ed. Tech. or Spec. Ed. and that may be easier if I am a tutor and not a classroom teacher. Someday I would like a classroom, and then a classroom in my house... with my own children. :) We'll see what God has in store for us!
And by the way... my best friend from high school had a baby a little while ago! He's a cutie!! Visit Colin, Stacy and Bennett's blog here.
OK... back to the spring break thing. It was a good week and I am thankful for the time I had to do whatever I wanted. It was much needed and I can't wait for June to roll around so I can experience this again. Nate is kind of jealous that my job gives me breaks like this. One of these breaks we'll for sure go somewhere and sit on a beach with some fruity drinks and do nothing for a week. That will be great and that will be a reason to post some pics... but who wants to see me in my sweatpants on the couch with a pile of papers and file folders watching The Office? See why I don't post pics. :)
