Almost done

I feel like road kill. I’ve been sick and had too much going on – and thanks to my boy any free time I’ve had where I could have written SOMETHING, I’ve been playing Dragon Age II obsessively. I warned him, i don’t play games because of my attention span – I either lose interest really quickly, or I disappear into it for way too bloody long.

Today I actually have no extra commitments – for the first time in a long time I have a real Friday to myself. I have a little school work to edit/grade for the kids who asked for help, some planning to do which will be easy for me since I actually feel that I know what I am doing for a change.

But until school is out this will be the last ‘weekend’ for me.

Next weekend I have prom, which I am in charge of this year. I think the kids are surprised that working with one of the students who has great local connections that we’re going to be able to do a really fun prom on a show-strong budget. We’re doing a ‘Classic Hollywood’ theme, so aside from the dance we’re having a “red carpet party,” complete with casino-style games and Wii games that another teacher said we could use for the evening. Plus we’re having a desert ‘bar’ and the kids are excited because I told them that I would make home-made cheese cake for them, plus I found a recipe for a caramel-apple style cheese cake as well – I’m going to ‘cheat’ and make sugar-free things so they can enjoy them and not get sick while they dance.

After that I have an Honor Flight trip. I’m really looking forward to it because my best-est friend in the world, my “evil twin,” is going on it as a guardian with us! This is going to be amazing, and the best part to me is that I know that she is going to have a blast 🙂

The following weekend I have two different trainings, two days in a row at surprisingly the same place. Which will hopefully help, but I am freaked about leaving my students with a sub. They do not have a good track record of that 🙁

Then there are conferences.
Then there is my cousin’s college graduation.

THEN there is my school’s graduation, and my senior class asked me yesterday to be their guest speaker…They are convinced that I am the only adult who actually likes them. That makes me sad. I hope they’ll be able to see just how much they are loved when that air-plane hanger we call a gym fills up for them.

THEN school is out and I can sleep again.
