50 fourth graders happened.
Anywhoodle, my day's have been jam packed with teaching. I've gotten home each night and proceeded to take a 30-60 minute nap. There is no tired like beginning of the school year teacher tired. Seriously. The beauty of teaching means you get a refresh button every August. These sweet kiddo's are pretty awesome so far. There are a few turkey's, but nothing we can't handle. The first few weeks are always an adjustment as we get back into the swing of things. It just takes a while to get to the good stuff and get past the pre-testing fun.
I feel like Kyle and I are getting back into a semblance of a routine. Get home, eat dinner, work out, lounge on the couch until bedtime. It works for us.
There's not much new to report except...
WE ARE GOING TO ITALY ON MONDAY!
Kyle's company is sending him to a GE Compressor Test (no idea what this is!) for one day and have graciously allowed me to tag along for free. They are also letting us stay for 9 days. Crazy! I'm so excited about this I could burst. Post to come detailing our planned itinerary. We will be splitting time between Florence and Rome.
Random Confessions and Updates:
1. Our upstairs AC broke. We camped out on a mattress in the living room for a few nights. It was kinda fun actually. My mom saved the day and drove up to be here for the installation of the new unit since Kyle and I couldn't miss any work. She ironed about eleven million things for us, did all of our laundry, folded said laundry, and made us the BEST dinner. I confess, I still need my mommy.
2. I have managed to wear a dress to work all but 2 days since school started. I haven't even begun to touch the amount of dresses I own. I also confess that I somehow manage NOT to zip them all the way. Several days I have come home only to discover that my dress is not zipped. Embarrassing.
3. My hair has ended up in a ponytail by 1pm nearly every day since school started.
4. Kyle spent the entire weekend power-washing the back deck. Literally hours and hours and hours. I was bored to say the least. We did have a super fun night Friday night with Kyle's High School friend, Carl, and his girlfriend, Delaney. We hit up Coal Vines and attempted to see Lost Wax (My fav band!), but it didn't work out. Sunday night we had dinner with Zach and Jessica and their sweet baby girl, Emma. I love catching up with friends!
5. I was sick all last week. A lot of my teacher friends had the same thing and got an official diagnosis and meds from the doctor. I never go to the doctor. I'm not sure if I'm just tough or lazy?
6. I stopped at Zona Rosa to FINALLY use a gift card and was able to buy two pairs of super cute wedges for $20 a piece!
7. I have baby fever. Kyle says no.
That's where I'll leave you. See, random!
