The mornings that I awake earlier than usual, are the worst mornings. Not because I have lost sleep, no, no, no that's not it at all. But because I end up lolly-gagging around more than I usually do. Take, for example, this morning: I awoke a half hour earlier than my alarm had been programmed. I am amped by my early wake-up and the fact that today is my last day with the kids before two+ weeks of winter break so I take Whoopi for an extended walk. When I get back to the house I decide I will order my dad's last birthday/anniversary/Christmas gift. I log onto EBay (NEVER a good idea). I pay for the auction I won last night, and change my shipping address to D&D's and allow myself 10 minutes to browse. The 10 minutes of browsing turns into 30 minutes and I end up with a Minnesota state lottery loon and am in the running for some Pyrex dishes (I will lose because my bid is low).
After showering and getting my hair dry, I decide I had better blog about it. Mainly because I am out of deodorant and body wash-- which I found to be great timing as I am returning to east river tomorrow evening.
Now, rather than arriving to school extra early, I will arrive right on time, if not a few minutes late.
Ahh, the life of a first year teacher whose classroom is in her backyard!
Happy Thursday, ya'll!
