Before You Even Ask...

No. I AM NOT ready to go back to school.

Being sick this week, I don't feel as though I had much of a break. I didn't catch up on my grading, I didn't get ahead on my lesson planning. I didn't get the house cleaned. I didn't spend time with friends and family.

Looks like I need an attitude adjustment, huh? Well, let's consider what I AM grateful for this week:
  • My husband! He cooks, he cleans... he hands me tissues
  • Snow! One last hurrah for winter before summer heat approaches
  • Rest! I think I slept more this week than I have since infancy
  • Friends! Thank you for risking germs to love on John and me
  • Kitties! They were faithful companions, and footwarmers
  • Cough drops and antibiotics! 'Nough said.
See? Not all bad. What are you grateful for this week?

  1. I love your blog design. This could be a keeper! And so sorry your break was a sick one. I hope the kids take it easy on you today. Perhaps a movie tomorrow?? Well, maybe not, but seniors in the spring really stink.

    Keep up with your great posting! Always good to hear what's going on with you guys.

  2. Marie, thanks for your encouragement! I like this scheme, too.

    We plowed ahead in class, in spite of the groaning and weeping (the kids complained a lot, too), but I let us get sidetracked by a discussion of the health care bill. I love making government class relevant!

    And John... :* (kisses)

  3. The ability to get things done at the last minute.

    And friends who are willing to wear masks and run around town.
