Sistah Pat

I always get a bit of a shock on Friday mornings when the alarm goes off and I roll over and find DH in bed.   He’s been working four day work weeks for a couple of years and it still throws me.  “Whoa!  What are you doing here?  Shouldn’t you be at work?”

“It’s Friday.”  ”

“Oh, yeah…you don’t have to drag your butt out of bed like the rest of us.”  (sigh)

Yesterday was busy.  Sistah Pam came out to the school to work with our teachers all day.  She got into it with Pitiful, Arrogant, Upchuck Lowlife.  He got so mad he had to walk away.  She says the “L” should be for lazy.  I’ll go along with that.  At any rate, I was pretty busy all day and didn’t get to spend much time with her.  She brought some oatmeal raspberry bars, brownies and some peanut butter goodies that involved whole grain cherrios and the goodies went over really well.  After school, she hosted a PD for teachers around the district on working with the grade/attendance program our district uses.  This time, I actually got to participate and learned a lot.  Folks were still hitting me up for help with little things but it didn’t take very long to help them and I got a lot done.  Today, I’ve got to finish transferring all my students’ grades to the program we learned about in the PD and then I can use it all the time.  It’s one of those “use it or lose it” deals and I’m finally in a position to use it everyday and get familiar with it.

Today should be a fairly easy day.  I have my classes and I have to work on laptops but nothing else is hanging over my head.  I’ve got to stay an extra hour and a half to do ESS after school and then I’m off for the weekend.  Maybe I can actually get to snuggle my hubby instead of jumping up to the alarm and saying, “What are you doing here?”

6:10 a.m. - Ya gotta love Fridays.  It’s only 6:10 and I’m ready for work.  Jeans, plain white tee, denim jacket and pink tennis shoes.  Don’t know who decided Fridays should be laid back but I’m all about that!
