Spring Break

I didn't fully realize how stressed out and unhappy I was until tonight. It's a Sunday night, which normally fills me with dread. 

Tonight is different...I feel relaxed and hopeful and excited for this next week! I have the next week off, and I could not be more thrilled. 

In a couple days, I will be taking a trip up to Washington to visit some family and get some well-deserved isolation from everything. 

(So, if you need me, that's too damn bad, cause my phone and computer will be off for a while.)

Just a Little Anecdote

On a fairly regular basis, my best friend and I get together for a date night. This week was shopping and dinner. I forget exactly how the conversation went, but we ended up talking about work and getting stuff on our clothes. Then this came out of my mouth: "I end up coming home from work with chalk handprints on my ass." Kelsey chuckled, and then we both look up to see our waiter with his jaw practically on the floor. 

Anyone who knows that I work with kids wouldn't have given it a second thought, but this poor guy just overheard a part of our conversation knowing nothing about me. The look on his face was priceless.

In order to restore any respect in his eyes, I then had to explain that I work in a preschool and there are a few handsy boys in my class. I'm not quite sure he believed me...

When the meal was done and paid for, we started out the door, waving goodbye to our waiter. As I turned around to walk out, I could tell that he was checking to see if there was, in fact, chalk handprints anywhere to be found.
