I have had many a busy day in my life, but today may take the cake. While the day was crazy and isn't yet over, it was a totally satisfying day. The only sad part is that I will not be home in time to see the midgets. I am currently at City College doing a make up swim class with MoJo. The day began with a ridiculous walk to BT. Nothing like pushing that mother load of a stroller in the middle of a snow storm. The plastic would not stay on, my hands we frozen... Well we made it and I even walked all the way to damn school because there were no buses available. I did not teach my first period class because most of the kids were in the gym watching the gym show. So I canceled class and went to see M rock it at her gym show ( think push ups as well as a dance to Gengham Style). I spent the rest of the morning working on curriculum and packing hundreds of books for a book drive that ended today. After teaching I had my first class with the fourth grade for our community service trimester. I love this group! They are so little and it is their first foray into service. I took them to the nursing home to do nail care. Yup, 9 and 10 year olds giving old women manicures. My favorite lady was there and she was in rare form, kissing all of the kids and being a ham. The kids were great and sweet and did not make any faces as a strange and confused woman continued to kiss and hug them. I was then called into a meeting with my headmistress where she proposed a super exciting and new task for me to develop with another colleague. I am flattered. I cabbed it home to drop off and pick up crap and ran to Street Squash. After an hour of college prep I walked (again no bus) with a big bag of swimming gear to school. Got MoJo. They whined the whole way about having to swim at night. That brings us to now. How lucky am I to be able to squeeze so many gratifying activities
into one day? I cannot wait to order some Asian food and watch some flick with F tonight. Life is good. Stay tuned for my new 30 day challenge, I realized as I struggled with the stroller this am that I am COMPLETELY out of shape and may want to consider adding some minimal exercise into my life! Happy weekend!
