Feelin' Groovy

Right now, I'm feelin' pretty groovy. I'm at one of those rare crossroads in the life of a teacher where I'm all caught up with my grading and even (gasp!) planned ahead a couple of days...Even my photocopies are made! Rare, indeed! Of course, it's all going to hit the fan towards the end of the week, when I give tests in 4 of my 5 classes. So I guess I should enjoy it while I can!

At least it's supposed to rain next weekend! Perfect for grading tests at the McDonald's PlayPlace while Elijah plays!

I caught Elijah's cold toward the end of last week. So even though the weather was stunning for March in VT, I wasn't able to really enjoy it as much as I'd have liked to. This morning I awoke feeling much, much better (not 100%, but SO much better!).

Ed left school early today to attend Rollin Strong's funeral in Hinesburg. I will be picking up Elijah and then attempting to coerce him into a stroller ride so I can get out for some exercise. It's 42 degrees and sunny on March 9th, might as well be 75 degrees, it's so tempting to be outside!!!

We are planning on staying in Boston for 3 nights/4 days during April vacation (24th-27th). Hoping to be able to connect with a lot of friends and family while we are down there. We're really looking forward to our little family mini-vacation- enjoying the pool, the museums and the aquarium! Mark your calendars to come spend time with us and sit poolside while the children play!

Negotiations meeting tomorrow night (we are still working without a contract- going on 3 years now!), NEA meeting Thursday and then a Simplicity Parenting lecture/workshop with Beth and Liz on Friday night (after dinner and drinks of course!). BUSY week...!

So glad that things are going smoothly for you at school -- for now at least! Take each day as it comes, right? Good for you for being "ahead of the game"!
Also glad to hear that you're feeling better. Surprisingly both Jim & I have managed to remain healthy, despite the kids being sick all the time. Go figure!
Can't wait to see everyone in April!

Since you are all done grading and planning, can you do mine next? I had another lesson fail today... 2 in two days. I am revamping tonight but am soooo tired!

I am glad you are feeling better and hopeful that your negotiations go well!

Get over here and create my final exam for my seniors at the university! And while you're at it, do my Italian homework. Glad you're feeling better.
