Not Ready for the Coldness...


As if Sunday's are not dreary enough for me. Being that I have to make sure that all of my lessons are done for the week, rooms are cleaned, laundry is done, and I have enough energy to get through the week. It just so happens that this Sunday is rainy, and extremely cold. I have been sitting in the office for about an hour now just typing up papers, and watching the rain fall outside of my window. Well over that span of an hour, the rain has turned into sleet/snow. I really thought to myself how I am so not ready for the cold weather. Where did our fall go? It seems like we just were entering into the nice fall days, where a hoodie and jeans were all you needed to wear on those clear blue-skied days. Phil and I have been talking about our plans for the day, when I decided that I just wanted to hibernate back into the office and just get my things done for the week. But thanks to Phil, he is dragging me out to do some shopping. He says I need to give myself a mental break. I then started to realize that this is what I needed. To help save my sanity, it was good to get out, even if it was on a dreary Sunday. I am so glad Phil is here to help me understand that there is more to life sometimes than work, lesson plans, and grading papers.
