Sorry for the lack of blogging this weekend... it was relatively crappy on a weekend scale. Saturday I woke up too early and couldn't go back to sleep, so I tried to get some productive things done around the house, which pretty much just led to getting overwhelmed with the disaster area that is my apartment at the moment. So then I took my pupperdog for a walk, which was nice, although I felt bad because it was too short for either of us, but as I had to get to the library to do some research I figured a little was better than none at all. So I was at the library for a couple hours before meeting my group to do finish up our Unit Plan. That went relatively well, and we went straight from there to Marci's house for a dinner-thing. The dinner thing was really nice, good food, good conversation, and a 16 month old to entertain us all. That was probably the best part of my weekend, although it sucked to be thinking about all the other things I could have been using that time for to get things done. But I still enjoyed it. Then I came home, finished my part of the Unit stuff, and organized my notes for my individual lesson that I had to teach.
Sunday morning I got up, put some ribs and bbq sauce in the crockpot, and spent pretty much the entire day working on my lesson/school stuff with the exception of some errands in the morning (posterboard, markers, and dog food) and a nap in the afternoon. I took a break at dinner time for some tasty ribs, and watched some video of my two nephews, and then it was back to work. At about 9:00 I very suddenly got both a splitting headache and very very nauseous, followed shortly thereafter by a second showing of my dinner. Not fun. So then I got a Sprite and some tylenol and went back to work again, hitting the pillow around midnight.
Needless to say that I didn't get much sleep and was feeling crappy this morning, on top of which it was just a Monday in every way, shape, and form. Specifically the kids were just off the walls today which did NOT make for a great practice session. Luckily I was just "the audience" which involved sitting in the top row of the practice theatre and shouting at them when I couldn't hear them. Not so much fun for the headache, but it could have been worse. Unfortunately the kids were not that great today during rehearsal, so there was quite a bit of negative feedback, which of course frustrated them, etc. etc. We tried to end the day on a high note with a compliment session, but it was pretty half-hearted on all sides.
All of this, as you might be able to imagine at this point, leads to not the best mood to be in to teach my lesson. However lunch seemed to sit ok in the tummy, I bummed some Ibuprofen off Jess, and I made it through. I actually think it went pretty well (it being the condensed-3rd-grade-version of the geographical history of the Pikes Peak Region) and I am very glad that we are done and have nothing else super big to worry about this week.
After I got home I spent an hour out in the park with Sherlock (I sat on the bench while we played, but we were both ok with that). Tonight I still have to work on the program for the play, get in touch with the theatre tech guy (who is cute, so that isn't really on the list of complaints, I just need to remember to do it), read the five million chapters that I neglected reading over the past several days, and the other four things that I have forgotten at this point.
So in conclusion, that is why I am glad Monday is over. Although I have to say, that this link (sent to me by my Mommy) was the best part of my day :)
