Where does the time go??

Hmm ok..this week..where did it go?? Granted it is only Tuesday night..but honestly..I feel like it is Friday (or maybe I wish it was).  I have been  attempting to get to work an hour early and plan too all this week as well as next week.  I have some time to make up and seeing how I work a 2nd job..staying later isn’t an option for me.  My goal is to get to work by 7am every morning..so far..I’m 1 out of 2.  Not bad…On Monday..got there at 7:15..was going to stay until 4:15 to make it a full hour..but couldn’t hack it…HAd to get out of there…it was NUTS!  Hmm today…was up at 4:30am…and out of the house by 6 and in Walmart parking lot by 6:30am!!   The movie “Pursuit of Happyness” came out today so had to buy it. We are planning in showing it to our boys next week.  Plus I loved the movie..so was happy to pick it up! $13 at Walmart..Cheap right??   Even though getting to work an hour early has it’s challenges…I am finding that I’m getting so much done! With no one there to bother me..I’m the only one in the Education hallway..it’s awesome and so quiet..I love it!   I’m caught up on all my paperwork on the kids..caught up on my journal assigments..and my 2 rooms are spotless!! Today I finally took down my St. Patty’s Day decorations and put up Easter Decorations..I have been wanting to do this for a week now…FInally it’s done!

 I have also put up a new bulletin board..why?? Just because I had time too…I love doing them..but I do have a problem…I’m anal about them…they have to be perfect..it takes me forever to do just one…it’s so funny..I always enlist the help of some of my better behaved boys to put them up.  Usually its the same kids just because well…at this time …they are the only ones behaving.  They laugh at me…I have taken on the new challenge of making my own borders.  I can’t find any I like in the stores..plus teacher stores around here are lacking especially in materials for the old kids…so I make my own.  So the other day…one of the kids that always helps me..was assisting one of the other teachers.  They were discussing what border to use…and the kid says…”well if you don’t like them…just have Ms. (insert my name here) to make them for you.”  He then proceeds to say, “I have never seen any teacher make their own borders before!”    Pretty funny! 

 Also this week, I have been trying something different.  What is that you ask…umm it’s called going to bed EARLIER!  By having to get up at 4:30AM, I’m finding that going to bed at midnight..just isn’t cutting it.  Especially the nights I work my second job.  By Friday, I’m completely exhausted.  So I have been attempting to go to bed by 10:30 at the absolute latest.  It isn’t too much earlier..but I find..that I am not getting as much done as I usually do at home.  Granted I do feel TONS better in the AM…so am thinking it is worth it. 

I’m excited..tomorrow the BF and I are going to go to the movies to see that movie “Wild HOgs”.  Everyone I’ve talked to that has seen it says it is hilarious!  So am definitely looking forward to it.  I will let you know how it is.  If you’ve seen it..what do you think???  Like it??
