So today is the last work day before Christmas. With all this excitement looming, and people walk around in sugar comas at 9:30 am, WHY does it feel like this day is taking forever to end? Our students are in pajamas, unable to barely stand still for 10 seconds at a time, and I'm ready to pop in Happy Feet just to keep myself sane. Maybe its because of the anticipation of not having to see these people for at least the next week or so. I know that being a teacher, a female dominant area is not my cup of tea, and this estrogen-laden setting sometimes makes me want to pull my hair out. I plan on sleeping in (which probably wont happen because I'm used to getting up at 6 am) eating foods that have no nutritional value, and watching football and catching up on movies that I have missed. Sorry to you college football fans, but I could are less about Bowl games. Its weird- when I was in college, I loved the BCS and Rose Bowl and March Madness and all that- but when I got out of college, all of that fell to the waist side. Now its NBA or NFL all the way!!
I have finished all my shopping, and I'm pretty proud of myself for staying on budget this year. With the gift cards and presents from my Secret Santa that I won't use ( hello, I am a re-gifter and I'm not ashamed to say it!) I can give them out to people less fortunate who really need or want it. I'm at that point where giving truly is better to receive. I have been blessed and I really don't need anything (except a winning lottery ticket). So I have volunteered at a shelter, donated time and money, and am ready to accept whatever positive karma will be coming back to me- hello future husband out there, nice to meet you!
So on that note, I want to wish all of you a Safe and happy holiday season. Please remember to love each other, and keep Sandy Hook and Newtown, Conn. in your prayers. For us teachers, its just another reminder of how important we are, regardless of what others think.
With love,
