Another great day.

What would you do if you had nothing to do?

As you know, I am a third grade teacher. I get up every day at the same time and go to school for 8+ hours, teaching 25 eight and nine year-olds. It has been a tough year. It has been more physically, emotionally, and intellectually demanding than just about anything I've ever done, especially for an extended period of time. And I love it more than I can express. But I've never been more ready for Spring Break.

Yes, Spring Break. One of the joys of working the public school system. It's already been great. Over the weekend, I had a ridiculously super amount of sleep, went out for ice cream, celebrated Passover BYU-style, had a delicious Easter Dinner, and learned (?) how to play Smash Brothers.

Today was my official no-work day. It ended up being the perfect lazy vacation day, and exactly what I needed.

My Day (originally I had times posted, but they were rather embarrassing):

Wake up

Get out of bed half an hour later

Make buttermilk syrup and french toast with my roommates

Shower, get ready for the day

Go grocery shopping for the ingredients for all the magical things I hope to make as Spring Break continues

On the drive home, play the "Whatever song comes on next is yours, and describes some aspect of your life" game

Visit our new friend Annie

Visit Kevin

Look at photography blogs

Make a big plate of garlic-y pasta with red peppers

Finish reading Anna Karenina (very, very, very good) and then fall asleep on the couch

Unintentionally sleep through Family Home Evening

Go see "The Morning Benders" at Velour

Finally do a weekend's worth of dishes

Guys, this is shaping up to be a beautiful week.

The Morning Bender's Excuses (the video is being funky and driving me mad. I'm not going to fix it, sorry).
