Whew! I'm back!!


No, I wasn't in Florida again, however it would definitely top the weather we are having today! There is one really bad thing about rainy days....inside recess! That translates into "kids out of their minds because they can't go out to play" for all of you non-teaching friends and family.

So where have I been then....well, let's see.....Monday and Tuesday I decided that my PE classes needed a little jazzing up (the winter is getting long, and the walls in the gym are closing in), so me and my brilliant mind decided that maybe Tae Bo was what we needed. 3rd-5th graders love to kick and punch, right?! So why not put that to use. Needless to say that after 12 hours of Tae Bo in 2 days I was not able to do anything but crawl home, sit in the sauna at the college, and veg at night infront of the TV (doesn't mean I was taking a break from laundry though). Yesterday started the 2nd rotation of the week (I have the kids 2xs a week) so I thought why not do gymnastic stations.....only I forgot what hard work it was to get EVERY child up the rope (no matter how big or how strong, and I've got some really BIG and WEAK ones this year). I was exhausted last night and now I've added some really sore back muscles to boot! Today and tomorrow are more gymnastic stations and then I think I need to plan something "low key" for next week. Need to give this old body a break!!

So that's the long and the short of it....didn't go back to Florida...didn't run off to join the Circus....just way to pooped to pop!!

PS Thanks for checking on me Kevin! I love that you look forward to reading my blogs on your 10:15 break every morning. And NO your not pathetic....we all do the same thing every morning! Thanks for the phone call little brother.
