1. This week feels all out of whack; it's May and it's cold and stormy, I'm out of my classroom twice to proctor AP exams, and I last night I woke up at 2 am because some spammer from Morocco was calling me (my phone is connected to my Fitbit, so it vibrates). For awhile I thought tomorrow was Friday, alas here we are.
2. This week is Teacher Appreciation Week and Mother's Day- plenty of time to remind me how much how little the work I do is recognized [shrugs shoulders, rolls eyes, moves on].
3. I just started reading Dave Eggers' Heroes of the Frontier and I just have this feeling that it's not the right book for my current headspace. Does that ever happen to you? It's a good enough book but where you are psychologically isn't a good match? I will power on, but having this thought in the back of my mind isn't making me anywhere near obsessed with reading it.
4. Just in case anyone was wondering, cutting up string cheese doesn't work the same as using shredded mozzarella [shrugs shoulders, rolls eyes, moves on].
5. The current diplomacy issues our country is having is disturbing.
6. Also disturbing- listen to The Daily's last two podcasts on surveillance in China. Daaaaang.
7. I think my five-year-old is attempting to be sarcastic at times- I'm not sure if I'm proud or worried.
8. I think the stars might align and I might get a few hours to myself, at home, on Saturday. This basically never happens, and while I love my family and all that, I CANNOT WAIT.
I hope you get some alone time on Saturday! You probably won't know what to do with all of that free time... haha.
ReplyDeleteI think it's kind of cute that your son is attempting sarcasm. But I'm a generally sarcastic person, so maybe it's only me.
