So tired...and ready for the end of the week

So I am sitting here at my home computer working on stuff from work because as much as I am trying to get done, I am not getting far at work what with classes and students...Who knew?

Anyway, I am sitting here and in the middle of my second report of the night, but have had a long day. I got up at my regular 5:00 time but ended up heading to work early and putting in a 9.5 hour day. Then I came home to do more. So as I am sitting here, my eyes drift closed and I snap them open thinking I am at work and will get in trouble if my eyes close. That's how tired I am, I think I am at work, when I am not.

I need this week to be over and for me to put a huge dent in all that I need to get done before coming home tomorrow.

Won't make much sense if you aren't in Education

So tonight, Sonny took the boys to swimming lessons and left me home to work on my CEUs. That was awesome because I stayed home and was able to complete .6 CEUs. That was great because now I am sitting at 2.3 CEUs, whereas earlier I was sitting at 1.7 CEUs. If I have another night like that, I should be almost to my required 3.0 CEUs. That would be fantastic. Now that I think about it, I would probably be there if I hadn't missed out on the classes I had registered for before the computer crashed. Oh well. I am almost done and that is great!

In other news, the last couple and the next couple weeks at school have been and will continue to be hectic. We have had 2 program evals plus their IEPs, 2 program IEPs, 4 speech assessments and IEPs, 1 speech IEP, and 1 LD IEP. It's been crazy. I could have worked on some of that paperwork tonight, but I feel good having gotten some CEUs done. All I know is that I should have all of it done by Thanksgiving and I will certainly earn my Thanksgiving break. And as of now, I have no documents due in December. I can't wait!

A long weekend...well it felt long.

Sometimes, the weekend just doesn't seem long enough. And sometimes, you can't wait for it to be over. This was one of the latter weekends. That is, with the exception of needing more sleep. But I had a 4-year-old who thought he should stay up til past midnight last night, and who got up before 8 am this am. That lead to some tired eyes today and some crankiness and an inability to sit still for fear of falling asleep. Here's hoping everyone has a good night sleep and tomorrow is a better day, with all of us fully rested.

Alaska was great!

So, last weekend we went to Alaska to watch some college hockey. It was a lot of fun. I had never been to Alaska before and I really enjoyed it. It was beautiful up there and the fall colors and the mountains all around made for very picturesque scenery. I can't wait to go back. You know how you imagine what you will do if you ever win the lottery? We decided that we would take our families on a trip to Alaska because they would all like to go and with everyone there, it would be so much fun!

(almost) all my bags are packed...

I'm ready to go.

Tomorrow after work, Sonny is taking me out of town for my birthday. It should be fun. Where we are going will be a surprise. Yay!

Burday me

So last night for my birthday, we went to Osaka. It was yum-yum-yum-yum-delicioso. My husband and I shared sushi and then we each had some hibatchi. Yum! Then all 9 of us came back to our house for cake. It was yummy too!

Almost older

I get to wake up tomorrow one age and go to bed another. Forgive me for not really feeling particularly excited for my birthday this year. I know I am not that old, but I sure feel like I am.

I told my husband that I wanted to buy a pair of heels. Impractical ones. I told him that in my head that would make me feel less old. I don't know why I think that. But I think that people who wears heels have to be young because I don't know that they would just wear them if they weren't. How many old people wear heels just because? My point exactly.
