Update...

One week to go.Goodness knows I NEED a break. Between writing reports, battling a sickness for at least 3 weeks now, and last night the Christmas Concert...I am POOPED! I could hardly wake up this morning. Dale says, "Honey- you look exhausted!" I could hardly open my eyes. I took the kids on a field trip this afternoon too- Gymnastics center and then the Boys and Girls Club right beside for some fun games. GEEZ- I sure wasn't thinking. They were quite well behaved, but I just need a break. Except for the boy who couldn't find his boots, and knew he was supposed to carry his inside shoes onto the bus with him for the trip...but arrived on the bus only wearing his socks (after treching through the snow!) I asked him where his shoes where (you can only imagine my tone of voice) and he said he couldn't find them. SO then I proceeded to tell him that the next logical thing was to WEAR HIS OTHER SHOES THEN! AHHHHHHHHHH! Grade 5!!

Thank goodness its the weekend and there is only one more week of school till holidays!

Gone are the days of partying, working the next day on a few hours sleep.I feel old. Life simply gets a little less exciting...and the thougth of coming HOME to kids right now...YIKES! Not quite ready for that! I can't beleive I ever was able to exist on not much sleep. Sleep is now my best friend. Without sleep- Heather fades...withers...becomes depressed and grumpy. Its like sleep is your soulmate....without it you would be lost- unable to survive....

P.S. very disapointed that NOT ONE person came up with a 100 point word?! My class is now up to thirty something...
