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.
