Spring Break!

Hello Spring Break(capitalization necessary as it is a holiday!)!

I am so excited to be able to relax this week. I have a very small list of things to do. They are as follows:
1. sleep in. Or at least take naps, to fully enjoy the laziness that Spring Break offers. I often feel guilty for sleeping in and taking naps, but on Spring Break, I need to just give myself some slack.

2. practice the uke daily. I printed out some songs to learn and I want to work on strumming. It's hard to play, strum, and sing! I can strum, but when I start to sing, I forget how! But I have to remind myself, I am retraining my brain. It takes time :)

3. finish my lesson plans for the rest of the YEAR! My wonderful team got together to plan it out and its looking great.
It looks like this-Think Link next week, 2 more weeks of the basal reader, 1 week of teacher rotations for reading (we are all picking our favorite book to teach...hmmm what shall I choose?), 1 week of fairy tale teacher rotations (Peter Pan!!), 2 weeks of Wizard of Oz, and 2 end of first grade days. WHOOOO!

4. see my sweet youngest sister (in-law) kick booty at her gymnastic state meet! Go for the Gold!

5. embrace the experience of a RUSH concert with my sweet husband. He loves RUSH. They finally came to Nashville to we are going to see them, of course! Darling husband doubts I will be able to "handle the noise". I am putting up a strong front (but secretly, he is probably right...).

That is all I have planned. 5 simple little things. The rest will be up to my whims and fancies. Hurrah!
If the weather fancies to turn itself around and allow the sun to bake me, I would happily add that to the list. Currently, it looks like a week of rain. Hmph.

Anyway- I leave you with a cute book one of my children wrote...
Title: There was on Old Lady Who Swallowed a Cupcake
Page 1: There was an old lady who swallowed a cupcake. I don't know why she swallowed a cupcake.
Page 2: It was Mrs. Person.

Apparently I am now and old lady :) At least they understand my obsession with cupcakes...
