You know what I'm talking about... the dreams that all teachers start having about 3 weeks before school starts. Summer is running in the opposite direction and the to-do list comes crashing into our brains- while we are trying to sleep!
Our contractor (we are having some work done on our house) came in and asked why I was home.
What?
Where else would I be, besides ready a mindless book on my Kindle?
Lady, today is the first day of school. Your kids' bus just went by.
Nooooooooooooo!
(exit dream sequence, enter me waking in a cold sweat)
Seriously, my stomach is still upset an hour later. The 3 cups of coffee (so far) are probably not helping, either. I'm in a holding pattern (still!) as far as getting into my classroom, but I'm doing okay on the planning end.
As I said, we are having work done on our home, so that is keeping us pretty busy and somewhat distracted. However, I think teachers have an internal clock that tell us that we are supposed to be doing something.... something that will help us sleep better at night!
Since we know I'm a planner (and LOVE all things organizational and in an office supply store!), I thought I'd share my new favorite toy.
This is how it arrived (so precious!):
There a bunch of other cool goodies, but I had to stop taking pictures so I could start marking up that bad boy with big plans!
