I've been meaning to get on and put a note up to say hello... And finally, I'm just stopping everything and doing it now (since I got a facebook message about my where-abouts and the current state of my un-updated blog).I can't believe it's been a week since I've posted! I never go this long between posts :) but it's been a busy week for me. We spent the weekend hanging out with friends (... except Sunday, we were in bed recovering from Saturday's roof-top party...) And this week, I've been working, planning, thinking, typing, copying, reading, and using my brain to overload! Back to commuting 2 hours a day, back to getting up early, back to feeling tired (something I did Not miss at all in July)... but only for this week, and then another couple weeks off. I'm getting ready for September. I want this fall to go better than the last. Somehow, I spent July really loading up on motivational juices, and this week, I've been focused Only on work. I haven't even opened google reader (and I'm not even sure I want to at this point... I'm sure I have 100s of posts to catch up on).
It's nice though, having this motivation, excitement. I really lost touch of it last year... And I think being so exhausted may have had something to do with it. I must keep up on sleep starting in September!
Hope all of you have had a wonderful week. I'm working for the rest of the week... watching episodes of Weeds (season 4) and Six Feet Under (season 1)... going camping this weekend at the Delaware Water Gap... praying that my eye doctor's appointment doesn't result in another round of the dye injection and intense photos of my eyeballs (but pretty sure it will because I still have that spot in my vision for the beginning of the summer)... trying to find the motivation to go out in the yucky New York summer humidity to get my books that are on hold at the library...

I hope your eye appt. goes well! That has to be a worry. You sound like you are doing what every teacher should each summer--recharging!! I go back next Aug. 13 & 14 for inservice, then kids arrive on the 17th. I'm starting to work on my room now. (And yes, L does have a smart board. I'm jealous, too!)
Oh good, I'm so glad you checked in because the worry-wort in me was beginning to wring her hands ;) and I've been missing the photos!
I just read the eye doctor post and I hope your appointment goes ok. I had a scary visit with the eye doctor last summer, and am too worried to go back. Which is absolutely ridiculous and stupid but the sad truth.
hope your eye appointment goes well and make sure you take some time to relax in all of that
you've been missed...
but enjoy your busy time and we'll be here waiting for your regular return :)
and ohhh, a dye injection and eye all in the same sentence....I hope not !
heehee - an update! i'm a wee bit addicted ;)
good luck at the doc - lemme know if we can help at all! i'll fix dinner that night if you want!
i've been sparse lately, too. :)
{is that the right word?}
anyway, if my internet issues get resolved soon, i'll be able to post more and visit more. your photo looks a lot like my drive-by shot from yesterday. we seem to be on the same page a lot. :)
see you soon. hope you are well.
Sometimes you just have to step away from the cyber world and live life. I'm being such a bad blogger this summer....
Hope your eye appt. goes/went well and have fun with all your travels!
Glad to have you back. Hope your eye Dr appointment goes well. Your photo reflects the hecticness in your life right now. Have a great night.
