I've been awake since just about 3:30 because Jim couldn't stop moving. UGH! Around 4:15 I said, "What's the problem!?" He just apologized and tried to stop, I guess, but he didn't really manage. Until, of course, right before my alarm was set to go off and what do I hear? Him snoring. Awesome! He and I will have a little talk today when I get home. If he needs to flip and flop all around while I'm trying to sleep before I have to WORK! He can go in the guest bedroom! Right!?
All in all, I rate this spring break as a 6. And all those points go to the success of Jim's surgery and how well he's going. The lack of 4 points (for a perfect 10) is due to the fact that I didn't go anywhere, didn't get to see Eva over my break, and was, in fact, at the beck and call of my husband. Not to say that he was in any way a pain in the ass (with one tiny exception...more to come). He was actually a great patient: Not very demanding, only asking me to do things he absolutely couldn't do himself, and always grateful. I don't dread his next hip replacement as a result. I am, however, glad this week is over but NOT that I'm headed back to work.
Oh, and the tiny exception of Jim being a pain in the ass: Last night he came to bed and climbed in while I was reading. I noticed after a couple of minutes that he was bouncing around and making a lot of fuss. So I asked him what was up and he said he was just trying to get his socks off. This is a tough job in and of itself but it's compounded by the fact that he has to wear compression socks and they are near impossible for him to remove on his own. So I said, "Give me a minute and I'll help you out." Of course he couldn't wait and proceeded to continue bouncing around in bed and disrupting me trying to finish a simple paragraph. So I hopped up and took off his damn socks! None to happy, I might add that he couldn't give me a freaking minute when I was ready! I guess since he was ready I needed to HOP TO! He apologized and all was well.
Opening Day!!! Of course I'm not going to the game but it is Dress Down day at school so I have my Reds gear on including my cute baseball earrings, courtesy Becky!
It's going to be a tough couple of weeks at school. Tomorrow starts two weeks of testing...I HATE TESTING! It effs the schedule all up and confuses the kids (and adults). Additionally, Thursday is our final late night at school - Senior Community Service Night. And, of course I have 3 seniors who I know haven't done their project nor their 1 page essay that is required. Guess what I'll be cramming to get done over the next three days!? Woke up thinking about that this morning. One more reason I hate having seniors on my caseload.
Okay - better get a move on. Happy Monday. Here's to 8 weeks until Summer Vacation! Oh, great - it just started pouring rain. K - later!
