4 More Things Done....

The countdown began a few weeks ago and today is "2 days before school begins"...

Eeeekkkkkk!!!!!!!

Yes, I am panicking.

I woke up early again this morning, but like I told my friend, Molly, "early is good". It means I am adjusting to getting up and getting to work... ON TIME. (And that's good, too.) This summer I would get up early but I could never get anywhere before 10:30 at the earliest. That's just crazy! I did have five boys to feed and clean up after so maybe it was reasonable (?), I don't know. I DO know that I am loving getting to school early and getting things done. But today I awoke ready to get some things done around the house. Trust me... it needed to be done!

I also had things I wanted to get done at school. But I had a birthday party for my nephew, too. (I bet you can see where this post is going already. Authors call it "foreshadowing".) So I finished up more housework than I thought I would actually be happy to do and started to clean the aquarium.

HOLY CATFISH, Batman! That aquarium was D.I.R.T.Y! So, it took awhile for me to clean it up and then take it to school. Yay! The aquarium is set up! That's always a biggie for me and while I was at school--- Yes, I know it's Sunday but what are ya gonna do? This stuff has to get done!-- I labeled the book boxes and put a few books in each box. That's when I looked up at the clock and realized that I had two minutes to get to my nephew's party. (NOT gonna happen.) That's also when I realized that it does not say "Word Wall" above my word wall... SERIOUSLY? How could I have forgotten that? I am SO not going to be ready for Tuesday morning....

At my parent's house, (late, but no one was surprised) I put together my parent communication binder so THAT is ready to go on Tuesday and I wrote my "Welcome to First Grade" letter thanking the parents that attended our Meet The Teacher Night last Thursday. Yes, that was just a few short days ago when I actually thought I would be ready for Tuesday... How does this happen? Or not happen, as the case may be? {sigh}

Now, I have to decide if I want to make my cute door decoration or if I should curl up, forget that I am a teacher for a few hours, and read Janet Evanovich.... Who knows what Stephanie Plum is up to in Twelve Sharp!


DON'T TELL ME!
