i hate first days and i hate supplies!

i'm BEAT!

between last week and today, i feel like i haven't stopped physically nor mentally. i.am.tired. boo.

today went semi-smoothly, even though i do not feel like i was on my game, nor was i 100% as prepared as i like to be. but we made it through the day! tomorrow will be more productive. i'm sure of it!

today i walked into the library and it was switched ALL around! i like it. also, prominently displayed is our principal, dr. hughes in a disd poster..i signed up for my library days-can't wait to see what they will hold.

.this must have been on dr. seuss' birthday.

 and i left at a decent hour today, and am very thankful for the new walmart neighborhood mart place near school. i had to grab some produce to get back on track!

the cashier was an older lady and she said, "have a great day! if you can't sleep tonight, come on back, we're open all night!" oh, marketing. nothing beats insomnia like going to walmart, i suppose.

yesterday it took forever for me to finish my lesson plans. the worst part was that i was doing a lot of procrastinating. while it was raining out, i dumped my cooler and got some bleach to clean out whatever had grown in it over the summer...then i cleaned off the table in the breakfast nook and moved it into my room...and i did some laundry...was about to bake some angel food cake when i realized i didn't have an angel food pan, nor did i have two loaf pans that were the right size...yep, i tried everything, but the responsible side of me made me do it. we even went as far as to practice different poses for a birthday picture for bmayes! so the boys were definitely part of the problem!

they've gotten pretty good at posing. (before we took these pics, they were holding signs: WILL POSE FOR TREATS

and all day at school today i was wishing for chocolate. in fact i was kicking myself for not getting any while i was at 7-11. then i forgot to get any while i was at walmart this afternoon...so finally i was digging in my bag for my usb cord, and there was a bag of peanut m&m's that i didn't eat at the training last week and had forgotten about! it was better than finding $5 in a coat pocket!

well, that's all i got. time to rest up so we can go again tomorrow!
