First Day of Vacation

My first day of vacation started today.
Last week the temperature was in the mid to high 90's. With a room full of 8th graders it was very hot in our classrooms; we have no AC on our part of the wing. We managed to make it through; no choice in this matter.

Teachers had to work until yesterday, and today I started my VACATION!!!!

I woke up at 6:00--why? I think our bodies become adjusted to our routine and no matter how we say we are going to sleep in; we can't. At 7:15, I decided to give up and just get up. I did enjoy my coffee and reading the newspaper without being rushed.

After relaxing for a few hours, I decided to do some exercising with my WII-Fit. I mentally prepared myself and was all pumped up. Oh No, the board wasn't working. I kept trying to see what was wrong--Ding!! the batteries had gone bad. Searching through every nook and corner trying to find batteries; I finally gave up and asked husband if we had any batteries. We had batteries but not the right size. Go figure-this is what usually happens, right? I could have easily gone to the store, but didn't want to go without a shower and make-up, and if I take a shower and put on make-up why exercise. A stroll around the block would be nice. Oh No--husband is mowing and I don't know what is going on but my allergies are killing me. I have never had allergies; I can't even get my contacts in!!!! So forget walking.

Um....what next. Read--yeah, I need to finish my book. I love to read so no problem here. Then the phone rings--and you know some people you just can't get off the phone with. When I finally got off the phone, husband is through cutting the grass and has already showered, and he says we need to go somewhere.

Finally, I get back home. I grab my reader and head to the front porch to read. OMG-the temperature is dropping and it is raining!!! I get cold, yep cold. What happened it is 67 degrees!!!!! So I come in and fix me another cup of coffee and begin to read. Only this time my husband is on the computer searching for a vehicle. Look at this one, look at this one, look here, what do you think of this one. :( I put my reader away.
