First day of break...... rain all day thus far, and cold in the high 50s.
Not that I am complaining, as we need the rain.
Makes me concentrate on other things to do, besides yard work.
Lists, lists and more lists.
Class tonight.
Worried about last paper, tonight's presentation, and also a bit bored with the class.
Issues with financial aid not resolved.
Reading to do before class.
I just hope the class does not drag.
Can you believe that I mapped out next year already (last night).
Want to get a good jump-start in planning before the end of summer.
Ideas working.
Lots to do around here, particularly before Dad comes.
Way too much. I wish David would help out a bit more, but it is what it is.
I'll get it done.

Memorial Day
Yard work yesterday....
98 degrees out. Cleaned up front and mowed. Crazy.
A brief storm expected at noon, but otherwise clear and not as hot.
Debating whether to work outside again (a bit sunburn) or indoors (projects abound).
Two more days of school and then done.
Just want it done.

Final Stretch
Two more days.
Tuesday- students.
Wednesday- teachers.
Skipped promotion and dance last night.
Rooms already started.
One box left at CSMS, and a handful of things to do at FMS.
Will be out by Tuesday.
List of TTDs for summer, mainly getting ready for Dad's visit (getting house ready).
Rooms to finish; painting.
Lots of gardening.
Grad class, two so far.
Somewhat boring.... the professor gets way off-track, although his stories (former RSD principal) are relevant.
My work group is a mix.... one is really on the ball, one is somewhat like me (participates; has things to say), and the other seems way-off (special ed., does not have the experiences to relate).
I'm concerned about the paper I turned in. After seeing some of the others, I believe mine was lacking. Maybe he'll let me rewrite it.
Started interviews for next paper.
Group project for next week is finished.
I hope to get more focused when school is out.
Class ends end of June, with a month off.
Otherwise OK.

Heat
80s and 90s past couple of days.
Supposed to get a storm later today.
Everything planted (asparagus, rhubarb), but iris project a no-go due to heat.
I am hoping to finished with errands by the time the rain hits- probably not.
Coupons-shower-errands-nap.
And then things to do after that.

10 days
10 days left- next week, and then the following through the 30th (Wednesday).
Started moving stuff back home a while ago, but yesterday started the big move.
Two rooms- a lot of stuff, but less than the norm.
Last bit of grading to do.
Fiesta on Monday- videos.
Tuesday- ?
Wednesday & Thursday- ? (field trips/ activities abound).
Friday- 8th grade pool party, promotion and dance. (Skipping this year).
Lots of things to do around here.
A little bit of gardening on the agenda, then cleaning the house.
S&R Dance recital tonight.
Watching Sam.
Bit of an argument w/ David yesterday (over things that need to be done).
Thinking that it was the beginning of an eruption- like a mini-flow before the big event.
We shall see.

Monday- Personal Day
Just a bit guilty taking today off, and debated on Friday if I should cancel it.
5th grade is working on their study guides and 8th grade has the last unit exam.
Don't really need to be there, as these activities pretty much run themselves.
My argument was that I needed the day off- attempting to stifle this "burn out" before the char.
Besides, I really need a three-day weekend every once in awhile to get things done.
Long list of things to do:
Contractor coming today to get the trim done and fix the ceiling- around 8.
I need to clean and organize, not to mention I am behind on painting. Ceiling fans still not installed. Old sectional still here. IKEA table still in boxes.
Yard work- irises, weeds, clean up beds.
Things for work.
Calls to make.
Dad coming in two months and SO MUCH TO DO.
Veggie garden started.
Rototiller was a good thing, although now I have to clean it.
I think Sara is being a bit overzealous this year with her "square foot" gardening philosophy, but we'll see. Her plans look a bit over-crowded.
Grad school began last Thursday.
Not 100% sold, but will do it (as long as I can get the financial aid).
Does not seem very organized and not a fan of the "workshop"/ group-project things.

Mother's Day
Mom in Montreal.
Which is just fine, as yesterday I accomplished NOTHING- sucked into the FB vortex, tv naps, putzing around with little purpose.
Gotta get things done today.

Sunday
Worked in garden all day yesterday...... weeding, planting, trimming, iris groupings, emptied compost, etc.
First time looked at clock, I thought it was 2'ish, but was already after 4.
Almost dark when finished.
Still so much to do out there.
Today, gonna be a bit of a mad-rush to get things done.
Errands and need to clean the house.
Lessons still to do.
Painting projects abound unattended.
Class starts this week- every Thursday for two years.
Last week of lessons, then week of exams, then a week of "whatever" and then done.
Gotta get through it.

Cinco de mayo
When I take a step back, I see that thinks are pretty much OK; whereas, when I feel that I am in the thick of it, I feel overwhelmed.
Which is the reality?
Oh, what webs we weave.
