Blah blah blah
Blah blah blah. I have only a certain amount of days off before the madness of teaching summer school begins. I had so many ideas for those days! The first few I enjoyed with my boys. They arrived on Friday and left early Monday morning. Since then I have done nothing. Nothing! A whole lot of couch sitting, TV watching, and internet surfing; but really...nothing. Maybe it's the let down after the storm of the last few weeks of school. Maybe it's the utter shock between the constant go go go of work and the overwhelming nothingness of days off. Maybe it's the drowning silence. I don't know what it is, but I'm blah blah blah; life is blah blah blah. Energy is low, motivation is lower. Blah.
But in an hour or so a friend will be here and we'll swim and eat and chat and chill out. And tomorrow I'll be in training all day. And Friday I have a half a day of work preparing for summer school. And Monday I'll be working. I'm sure that all that activity will chase away the blah. At least I hope so. I guess I'm just not one of those people who does well with hours and days on end with no structure. All this free time is too overwhelming!

Hola mi amiga! Well, today was MY first day of kiddos in summer school...I set up my room yesterday and I am drag-ING!!! I've always likened this part of the year as this....the last 4 weeks of school you are in a car going 140 mph down the highway without a speed-bump, curve or pothole in the road...you are speeding down - with life passing you by at break-neck speed out the window. Then suddenly, you SLAM into a 10 ft. thick brick wall....WHAMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!! That wall being the last day of school/work. No more students. No more folders to fill out. No more grades, papers, meetings, plans, nothing....it's all done.
And...
you crash.
Where you were going so fast and furious, now you are a crumpled heap of nothingness....
It always takes me several days at least to recover from the end of school. My mind tells me I don't have to go to work, yet my body is still in its 'school' mode. Summer school takes a bit of the extreme away, but it still takes some major adjusment. Ride with the flow and take these days to readjust your body and mind.... it's so important to do that! Enjoy your lazy days and good luck next week! : )
