TGIF

I am very happy it is Friday. It has been a long week. The kids were acting like it was the week BEFORE spring break, not the week after. Just crazy. Today I gave the entire class yellow cards for repeatedly chanting, something stupid, but they wouldn't stop. They were floored that I made the entire class change their cards. Made 3 kids cry. One said her mom told her that if she got a yellow card, she would hit her. I don't believe it. I ended up giving some kids their green cards back after Math, to the ones who were working and not screwing around. Made another kid cry. Whatever. Deal with it - you are 5 years old!! :(

My knee is a little better. Got a ton of advice today, unsolicited and begged for. Decided to take today and tomorrow off from the gym. Rest, ice, etc. Then back with a vengeance on Sunday. Can't wait. I know I need to take breaks, and rest. It's this obsession with exercise that has me already looking forward to Sunday, and not even thinking about what I am going to do and enjoy tomorrow.

I am also getting way too addicted to Facebook. Can't help it - it's too much fun to be chatting back and forth with friends that I normally wouldn't communicate with so regularly. That can't be bad, right? And having instant access on my blackberry......too much fun.

Had a nice afternoon at Milagro's with Laurie, Sue, Erin, Carol and Catie. Celebrating Laurie's 40th like a month later. Kindergarten teachers at my school are notorious for not going out to socialize, most of us have young children and frankly, Fridays are a gym day for me and that has been taking priority. But since I have been basically forced to rest today, (I was not going to the gym anyway because of the get-together) I went guilt free to enjoy some Mexican (food!) and good company. I have to say, it has been ages since I really did a girl's thing (other than on Spring Break) and it was definitely nice. Have to do it again.

Now Cassie and I are home alone, soccer widows to both Daddy and big brother. Time to go to bed. Since I don't have to get up early to go to the gym, I can sleep in. Haven't done that in ages either. Hope two days off doesn't get me off track.
