I think the chart below pretty well sums up my first week back in the classroom:

Day of the Week Wardrobe Sleep Pattern
Monday Navy blue pants Suit and navy pumps 5:00 AM – Alarm goes off and I  enthusiastically get out of bed to start my day.

3:30 PM – I’m home and spend the next few hours in an incredulous fugue state . . . I may drift off here and there.

8:30 PM- in bed and out like a light.

Tuesday Black dress pants slacks, a nice blouse, and black pumps. 5:00 AM – Alarm goes off.

4:00 PM – Afternoon nap

9:15  PM- Asleep on couch

Wednesday Black slacks, oxford shirt and black booties. However, I taught the last two classes in my stocking feet. 5:00 AM – Alarm goes off.

5:09 AM – Alarm goes off.

5:18 AM – Alarm goes off and I get out of bed.

4:00 PM – 45-minute nap

9:30 PM- bedtime!

Thursday Khakis, a sweater, and flats. 5:00 AM – Alarm goes off.

No afternoon nap!

Asleep on the couch at 8:45 PM

Friday Khakis, polo shirt, and sneakers. 5:00 AM – Alarm goes off.Although I want to hit snooze, I need to get to school as soon as I can to finish prepping for the day . . . including getting to the copier before it breaks down.

8:00 PM – tried to watch a movie, but out like a light.

Saturday PJs 6:00 AM  – alarm, hit snooze.

6:09 AM  – I drag my happy butt out of bed to go to a Weight Watchers meeting.

6:45 AM  – Weigh in at WW . . . how did I gain 2 pounds? I did nothing but work and sleep. I had four meals all week!

8:00 PM  – return home . . . spent the rest of the day on the couch, in and out of consciousness. Watched the same episode of Gilmore Girls 6 times.

Next up? I have not only encountered the water bottle flip challenge, but I have perfected it.
