Full Moon Monday
I'm convinced a fight is going to break out today. It's a harvest moon...and that always corresponds with irrational behavior at school and pretty much everywhere. I'm anticipating trying to hold down the fort today especially but all week, too. We're getting close to the end of the nine weeks. Kids are going to be wired.
I'm ready for change. I'm ready for this change I'm going to make soon. I'm anticipating that things are going to go smoothly and the trip is going to be a lot of fun to Vegas, in the meantime. Even though it's falling at a time when I should be concerned with really making a push to have almost everything in a box, ready to cart up here, I'm not going to sweat it. I'm looking forward to it...and I know we're going to have a wonderful time. I need to check the weather out there so I know how to pack. It's going to be nice to get out from under the cold weather, if only for a couple of days. Hey, it's a free trip! And, I did discover that the red eye that I'm taking isn't a big deal because I don't have to teach on Monday. It's a teacher work day. If worse comes to worse, I'll call off on Monday. But I don't think I'll have to do that. I'll lock my classroom door and sleep the day away! That's exactly what I plan to do.
I'm ready for the 2nd quarter and I hope it goes quickly. Some of the kids I have are drainers and I'm ready for a couple of the classes to switch over. I'm ready to get over the halfway hump. For real. There's a lot to look forward to, actually. I'm meeting another painter on Thursday but this guy is also a contractor. And I think that while I'm at the change up at Arlington Drive, I'll just get everything done all at once. I'm sure that Gianna will let me live with her if I have to, and she even said something about making the drive together when she comes up this way...in any case, I'm going to figure out the moves and get things together. I can feel good about this.
So the day is off like a rocket. One thing I can say about top-full busy days is that they are moving forward really fast! It's helping me to adjust to Matthew being gone. I'm not saying that I don't feel sad about it, nostalgic for him sometimes, too. But I know that in time, those things will ease and I'll be okay. I'm grateful, actually, to have this much on my plate at this time. It's helping me to move up and to move forward. But it is going to take me some time to get used to not texting and emailing him during the day. Tidbits about what's happening with me...I feel the compulsion to share that with him. And I think that he's trying to feel differently so it's only fair to let him be. I have to give him space. And I can do that. Today is hard but tomorrow will feel a bit easier. Every day will get easier in that regard.
Okay. It's movie time for the goofballs. I have to sign off and get it set up right now.
Until we meet again...
