The Longest Day EVER

UGH. What a day. Classroom is finally ready, not really for me to teach because I don't have to until Tuesday but just so I can have 2 parent orientations on Monday. I will get to meet the students, talk to their parents, have them fill out paperwork and send them home - twice. Had to split up the orientations, because there is no bloody way to fit 31 kids and 1 or 2 parents each in my room. So I have to miss Cassie's first entrance into Kindergarten so that I can rush to my school and deal with my own students.

The plan is to get all four of us to her school by 7:40am, kiss her and take a picture, then Franklin will stay with her on the playground  until school starts at 8:05 and I will be rushing Alexander off to high school before he starts at 8am, and them hopefully get myself to school no later than 8:05 because on the first day of school, parents always park in the lot, get there early and I need to get a parking space. I'm so sad to miss seeing her into her class, but Myra and I took her this morning, she got to peek inside her room and see her playground, and I showed Myra how to get there so when she begins taking her to school, she will know where to go.

The good news is I told my principal I would be picking her up on the first day since I don't get to take her, so I am leaving for an hour to do that, and it's okay if I am late for a staff meeting. Yay. I can't believe my baby is going to kindergarten. I am certain I will sob all the way to school and look like an insane crazy teacher to all my incoming students and their parents. Oh well, maybe some of them will leave and I won't have the 31 on my list :) Way to reduce my class size!!

Last night I didn't go on my run; Steph couldn't make it and I was dealing with Cassie and a major tantrum, so instead I went to the gym and did a Bosu ball strength workout with Diana. She has gotten better since the last time I took her class, and this one was a killer. Made me realize that I must get in at least a day of strength training once a week, because it was HARD. I am sore today, even with my anti-soreness supplements.

Sunday we are running 6 miles at Sawyer. I've only gone 5-1/2 and with only 6 weeks to go,  I wonder if I should try to push and do 6-1/2 or 7.

Crap, I hear my washing machine making funny noises. A load is halfway done, full of water before the spin cycle. This can't be happening right now when I have a ton of laundry to do, plus no more days off to have a service call. AAAAHHHHH. Now I will have to wring out each item and somehow get them washed. I hate laundromats.

I'm taking a hot bath. I've had it today. Thank goodness Cassie is being an angel.
