My Morning:
Wake up
Get ready for work (after checking for school closures out of recently developed habit)
Take a FREEZING walk with Layla
Drive to work
Frantically start typing paperwork that needs to be completed in 20 minutes and am interrupted by student who needs a test read
Read about three questions and am interrupted by parent who has shown up 15 minutes early for the meeting that requires previously mentioned paperwork completion
Simultaneously read test, interject polite "uh huh"s and "oh yeah?"s in one-sided parent conversation, and dominate keyboard as I enter student information
Wipe sweat from brow and literally run upstairs so as not to be tardy to my own class
Midrun, am intercepted by department head who informs me that Roger's mom will be shadowing him in all of his classes today...Delightful. I love when people come to observe. Unexpectedly. On the day after Snow Day when all of the kids are focused and all of the teachers are prepared. I especially love parents...with easygoing personalities and oh-so-realistic expectations.
My Afternoon:
Eat embarrassing amount of junk food (Thank you, dieting coworker for bringing all of your toxic snacks to the office)
My Evening:
Drive reluctantly to boot camp
Secretly get giddy when the parking lot is empty and the building is locked
Experience feelings of regret and guilt on the drive back home (An entire tin of chocolate-covered popcorn, Leslie? Really?!)
Bypass my building's lot and drive straight to gym
Break all time constraints on the treadmill until the blue cheese bacon dip and chocolate almond bark are nothing but memories
Blog
Read over blog and question sanity
