This time next week, I hope I'm still sleeping. But even if I'm not, even if I get up early, even if those sweet puppies pounce on me for their breakfast, who cares? I can always take a nap later. I'm so excited to have a solid 2 weeks off. I know last year I was off for the month of December due to Jim's surgery but  thinking back to the year before, I can't remember being this burnt out midway through the year. And it isn't just me. Everyone I talk to at school is beyond ready for this break. But first I need to get through the week and that shouldn't be hard. 

So yeah, today is a normal day. I'll review with the kids in ELA and do some last minute stuff in history. All of my exams are ready and scheduled to post on Classroom. There really isn't much for me to do this week except to complete the IEPs for January and put in my grades. 

The weekend was good. Relaxing and we didn't do much. I went to Aldi while Jim helped distribute the luminaries. He got roped in because my next door neighbor, Katie, had to bow out. Her father, who has ALS, was put in hospice and they don't expect him to live through the week. So sad. I haven't heard anything since Friday but the family has been gathered around him. 

We went to lunch on Saturday but came home after and just chilled out. Sunday we had a big breakfast and I tried to walk Scout but it was raining. We went to At Home where I found a bunch of candles for a really good price and then Michael's but they didn't have anything I was hoping to get. It was kind of a shit show there. I'll try Hobby Lobby some time soon. After that we went to Shooters for a couple beers and an app. I made chicken rice soup which was yummy and Jim and I just watched football and hung out. 

Dinner tonight will be easy ranch pork chops, mashers and broccoli. Easy and delicious. 

And with that, I'll sign off. I'm feeling in a bit of a funk today. I don't know why. Maybe just he Monday blues. I'm sure it will pass. K - later!
