Vacation Reflection

Well....another February break has come and gone (almost) and I always sit on the Sunday before going back to school and marvel at the LACK ofthings that I got accomplished. We had the added pleasure of sickness in our house this break so it made me feel as though I did nothing for my 9 days off. I decided that to make myself feel better, I would make a list of all of the accomplishments that I had over the past week. Here we go (in no particular order)

• Had a great February Cookout with the Fiorentino's and Lopez's.
• Hosted Bunco.
• Made a sewing machine cover (without a pattern)
• Hosted my in-laws for 2 days and watched Dave and his Dad repair our dining room floor and get it ready for the next stage of refinishing.
• Babysat Jenny's Cricut cutter and finished "the hallway project"
• Went to the dentist.
• Went to the orthodontist.
• Made a pair of flannel pants.
• Went to dinner and to see Rascal Flatts (thanks Colleen!)
• re-covered our metal folding chairs with new vinyl.
• Cleaned up my classroom........a little bit.
• Helped Natalie with a bunch of craft projects.
• Read the book for bookclub next week.
• Started (and am almost finished with) a book that is on my "to read" list.
• Did a little shopping.
• Went out to lunch with a friend.
• Kids went to Chuckee Cheese (Thanks Chris!)
• Took care of sick kids (and sick me)
• Watched some movies (Grownups, The Sorcerer's Apprentice, The Pacifier, Bolt)
• Watched an RIT Tigers hockey game
• Folded a lot of laundry
• Went to Wegmans a billion times
• Purchased a couple of Dr. Seuss units from Teachers Pay Teachers and did some planning for next week. (FYI- Dr. Seuss' birthday is Wednesday)
• Made good use of my unlimited texting.
• Will watch the Oscars tonight (even though it is a school night and I should go to bed early!)

Wow! Maybe this break wasn't as unproductive as I thought it was!
