The Chronicles Of Nay

Happy Monday! I have been working on this blog for days! I finally decided I was going to take some time today and just finish it! Last week was long and rough I hate Valentines day as a teacher. I am always so fascinated with the amount of gifts and craziness that my students end up with. Like giant balloons, teddy bears, different baskets FULL of candy. I did get a rose from one of my biggest struggle students! It looked a little rough and I got it on the day after but I put it in some water and it was all good! It made me so happy! Really reminds me why I do what I do. Aww, Don’t make me cry!

So last week has been kinda rough I have been saying that I am 1 minor inconvenience away from a melt down. I haven’t been sleeping well which only makes everything worse. Thursday morning I woke up at 2:30, like I have been lately, and tossed and turned for over an hour. Then I decided since I wasn’t sleeping I might as well get up and work on some homework. I thought ok I will get up shower and get ready and go to I hop. I will grab some breakfast, work for a couple hours then head to work. I was already awake why not? So I get to I hop about 5. I sit down, I get a menu, and the waitress takes my order. There I am reading and writing and the waitress comes over and says I have to leave by 5:30 and their won’t be a waitress here so I will bring you food and your check and if you could just cash out with me. I was super confused but sure whatever! So I got my food I paid the woman and I sat down to continue reading and writing. The other waitress came on to the floor a little later but basically ignored me. I ran out of coffee I still had my plates in the way. I am pretty sure she was irritated that I was still there. I ended up leaving earlier than I wanted to. I went back home and took a nap. Yes! I took a nap before work! haha It was a very strange way to start out the day! haha

I know that I am not sleeping well because have a lot on my mind mostly about friendships. It has come to that time again where I find myself having to take a step back and reevaluating friendships. Friendship and what that means is something that I would say is important to me. I tend to jump straight in. When I am friends with someone we are friends and I would walk to the ends of the earth for you… That is until you show me that you mean more to me than I mean to you! I just slowly start to back out. You know like that gif of homer sliding into the bushes! There is a lot changing in my life right now and if you know me you know I am not very good with change. I am having a hard time finding and keeping my village so struggling with the changes and not having people to lean on has been tough. I know all of the things you know the “people are in your life for a reason or a season” blah blah blah but it does’t make it any easier to be struggling to find your village.

We have a flex day today. The district requires that we get 30 hours of professional development. It has to be 18 hours of specifically district content and then 12 hours of whatever. The problem is that I don’t always want to do district stuff. They are getting better but sometimes it is just stuff we have heard before with a new name or a new presenter. It is kind of frustrating that they don’t let us use the hours and stuff from conferences and stuff we do. I was told during the summer that they only offered 6 hours during the summer to force us to come during the school year. That was frustrating. I digressed, I finished my hours and I am off this afternoon. I was going to go and do some homework and that kind of stuff but you know what? I think I am going to go do some geocaching! I found a couple geocaches this weekend. One of them was a puzzle and some of the pieces were missing. So I didn’t get in to the actual box, but it was a pretty cool. the goal was 50 geocaches for the year and I have found 9. I don’t know if I should say I already have 9 or I only have 9 haha!

Speaking of an update I am super behind on my sunrises’sunsets. The goal was 24 I have done 1! I have read 1 book and I am working on one right now. I am reading the wind up girl. I am liking it but I cleaned out the garage this weekend and I found some more books I haven’t read so my TBR list grew! My blogs are progressing well and my photo a day challenge is on par!

It looks so nice outside so I think I will go hunt some geocaches, maybe sit and read a book and completely ignore my responsibilities! haha I hope that everyone has a good week!
