A Day Off



Maybe it's the weather. Maybe it's the LONG stretch from Christmas break to Spring break. Or maybe it's the pregnancy. Either way, I was ready to kill some kids yesterday. So I did something I've never done before (intentionally). I just decided I was going to take the morning off. I didn't think twice about it. I didn't ask permission (though that may come back to bite me in the butt). I just left my little darlings in the hands of a sub and didn't show up until after lunch.

It was SPLENDID! I slept in, did my hair, watched some MTV, cleaned my house, and Jon and I even had lunch together. Then when I went back to school, the kids cheered and ran to give me a hug. They were probably just glad to NOT see the evil swamp-witch that has been making their lives miserable for the last little while! It's amazing what a little makeup and a real hair-do will do for you!

Winter is long and dreary. I highly recommend a personal day to help you get through it!
