I am truly blessed. I am blessed for many, many reasons. I have a great job, I have a lovely house, I live in an awesome community, I have amazing friends and a loving family. Lucky and grateful I am. But I am also truly blessed because I had a 4-DAY WORK FREE WEEKEND!! That's right people. Not only did I get Good Friday off but I also got today,
Monday off as well!!! A 4 day unadulterated weekend reserved solely for sleeping, cleaning and eating a delicious Easter dinner! I accomplished all three like a boss.
Thursday night, after a successful Easter classroom party AND Spirit Committee-organized Pirate Day, I was treated to an incredible steak dinner cooked by a fellow teacher in honor of my mother's last day of teaching grade 2 next door. It was a night full of good conversation, good company and good eats. Lots of fun! On Friday night I went to another teacher's house for a great night after a few hours in the classroom prepping for the week we come back from Goose Break (keener). Saturday... I can't remember much but I feel like I slept in and had a couple of naps? Oh wait! I went to Carmen's house and enjoyed yet another night of homemade sushi! We are becoming REALLY good at making homemade sushi (I refer to them as sushi burritos because honestly I just throw all the stuff in there and roll it up hoping it stays together). Sunday was a day of cleaning house and watching my mother cook a delicious turkey dinner for a handful of friends! It was a great night with excellent company and a nom-tacular meal. Today I woke up, ate leftovers, went right back to bed with a renewed turkey coma, woke up again, went to the gym in a sad attempt to work off said left overs and then puttered around aimlessly while thoroughly enjoying doing nothing at all - my favorite thing to do!!
Tomorrow is the start of a fresh 4 day week which is jam packed as I try and get as much covered before we all take off for my beloved GOOSE BREAK. Carmen and Monika in one car and my mother, Bobo and I in mine will be taking off on Friday afternoon AT THE BELL and driving straight through to my third home Amos, staying the night in Casa Del Amosphere and then on to Oakville the next morning. I'm super excited to not see snow and feel the warm breeze on my skin and hear the rustle of leaves - SPRING people. I wanna experience some spring!! We come back to a bunch of (you guessed it) standardized testing for grade 2 and I want to experience for myself, a few weeks of calm before the storm! Anyways, Goose Break, I love you and cherish you.
