I just spent the better part of the day with several classes worth of second graders on a field trip to a children's museum. It began with chaos, it continued with slightly more controlled chaos, lunch came and went, and then we ended the trip with an IMAX film (which was amazing, although the 3D glasses are still having negative long term effects, despite the fact that I took them off about ninety minutes ago).
Now I have a moment to think about all of the things that I would love to be doing or tasks I could be completing only to realize that work is an hour away. I do love my students quite a bit, but what wouldn't I give for a prolonged period of rest?! I'll tell you what, I would give two of my molars for three weeks of JUST WHAT I WANT time. Maybe my thyroid is still messed up (no, I have not heard a thing about those blood test results yet), maybe it's the time of year, or maybe I have just lost the ability to process emotion while getting through life simultaneously. Daily menutia can be more troubling than one anticipates. It's like seeing pretty leaves floating through the air in autumn. I LOVE autumn, and each leaf is a work of art, but months later you see a pile of leaves in an alley way or between the sidewalk and some wall. The pile has been rained on several times and the leaves have lost their ability to fly, now riddled with holes from decay and darkened with time. Well, I wax poetic, but you get the picture. A pile of leaves isn't nearly as pretty as singular leaves flying effortlessly through the air.
A toast to completing daily tasks and feeling good about it!
I am going to go attempt to recover my eyes from the IMAX experience. A pleasant evening to all! Go do something decadent for yourself. As soon as I get to do something awesome for myself, I will write ALL about it.
