Day 1 of Spring Break

There are many reasons I love being a teacher, one of them is getting some time off at the same time Jenna has time off. During the school year, Jenna sees my family more than she sees me. Thankfully, I have an awesome family who takes care of her.

Today is the official first day of our Spring Break and I feel that I actually accomplished some things! I slept in 1 1/2 hrs (but thanks to me running out of some meds, I didn't get to sleep until almost 4am). Jenna had spent the night at Charlotte's house so I had a little time to myself. This is a good thing, as Jason describes it, Jenna and I do not get along in the morning. Neither of us are morning people and when we have to interact, it doesn't turn out well. I'll have to write more about our morning routine another time.

Anyway, my driver's license had expired on my birthday, but I hadn't had time to get in to get it renewed, so that was first on my list of things to do. Thankfully, I had an appointment so I didn't have to wait forever in line. My appointment was at 10:15 and I was out of there by 10:40!

My family had planned to go to Fat Cats, a cool arcade and bowling alley today. I didn't think I would make it, but I am so glad I was able to. I didn't bowl, but I loved to watch Jenna try to bowl. She is definitely my child when it comes to strength. Here's an example of her awesome bowling skills.




At Fat Cats, they started playing Miley Cyrus and we were all jamming out and dancing to the music. It was funny, even Tai, my 10 month old nephew, was getting into it and was kicking his legs. Of course, Landon was trying to be cool and stay out of it. Did I mention how lucky I am to have an awesome family? We help each other out and we really do have fun together. Both of my sisters, my sister-in-law, brother-in-law and 2 nephews and niece were all there and it was just so much fun.

I didn't really want to leave, but I had an appointment for physical therapy at the best place ever! I love that everyone there is so laid back and are fun to joke with. Sure, I'm in pain and I push myself to keep getting my arm better, but I still look forward to going. If you ever need physical therapy and live by me, support the only PT place in the city - you will not be disappointed. They're talking about starting a women's exercise class and I know it'd be a ton of fun.


When I was done with therapy, I came back home and actually did what I said I was going to do! Proud moment for me there. I did the dishes and then I worked on my homework. My goal is to have all my homework done for my ESL endorsement by Weds so that I can have Thursday and Friday with Jenna. I have 5 sections to do and I am now completely done with 2 of them and only have about 7 more assignments left (the portfolio folder is a 3" 3-ring binder - so yeah, it's been a long process). 


Goal for tomorrow: finish dishes (we had 2 loads to do), complete at least 2 more sections of homework, laundry, and get Jenna to clean her room. I would also like to work on my next article, which means I'd need to scrapbook too - darn it :)
