i think i might actually be doing really well. i wish everything wasn't so cyclical. i wish i could keep up the good---but at least i know the bad is only temporary (thank you for the reminder Avenue Q)

i need a few stay sane goals though, now that i am returning to work. i think these will suffice

1) I gotta sleep from 10-6:30. My sleep schedule gets too crazy and then i lose it.
2) I gotta leave work by 4:30 pm. An extra hour at work is enough. I will stay later on fridays to do grades and boards and whatever.....but i will try to get out by 4:30 every other day.
3) I will only lesson plan on sunday afternoons for 3 hours--the rest of the weekend is MINE.
4) I will stop thinking about my future and live in the present. seems funny to say, but i am spending too much time thinking about what i want to be doing. i think i might finally just have to bloom where i have been planted.

go me! let us hope the good feeling lasts---it should last through today at least. right now, i am going to try out my new weed whacker....then i am going to shower and go have lunch at my parents' house with mini, suhail and navi. after that, i am going to think about lessons for the week at ellwood's ...I am going to end my night by watching a movie and ironing my clothes for the week. oooh! i need to pack a lunch also. which means i should go buy fruit at the grocery store. alright. gettting on it right now....
