Does anyone else find that this week is moving painfully slowly? At least it’s hump day! Which means, bullet points because I am too exhausted to think clearly.
- Today was so stressful and exhausting, I thought I would collapse halfway through. Luckily, I have the best class EVER and one of the parents came in to teach the kids about Hanukkah traditions and she surprised me and the teacher with coffee! I almost hugged her! She’s so sweet and such a lifesaver.
- I abandoned the idea of going to my school holiday party tonight. First of all, it was $35! Aren’t these things supposed to be free so that you can get wasted on the company’s tab? Oh right, I work at public school and I can’t drink. Plus the bar was very far downtown and lazy. Seeing a bunch of drunk teachers might have been worth it though. At least tomorrow I will get to see a bunch of hungover teachers!
- Instead of boozing it up with a bunch of teachers, I had dinner with one of my best friends from college who I haven’t seen in forever. And she also happens to be a teacher, so it was kind of the same. Sort of. It was so nice to catch up and vent and laugh. I’m really starting to feel like myself again.
- I want to bake some holiday cookies for the family I babysit for. I love to bake but I want to try something new. Any suggestions? I’m open to pretty much anything (but it has to be nut-free! The kid is allergic!).
