So while it is true that I prefer sitting in my living room to sitting in an airport... I do NOT prefer it when it means that my flight has been canceled and I wasted an entire day sitting in an airport AND didn't get anywhere. United SUCKS.
I was suppose to get to Vermont tonight to spend a week with my nephews, and instead I am home and grumpy. At least I got stuck here and not in Chicago... but I am still grumpy. Apparently some sensor on some door wouldn't go off and so they couldn't fly the plane... didn't really sound like a flight-canceling dilemma to me, but what do I know. I am on a flight tomorrow morning, with an additional stop in Denver and about 4 more hours of airport/flying time... but hopefully I will GET there. At least United rescheduled my return trip another day so that I am not losing out on nephew-time. Oh well.
Since I am blogging... I should catch you up on the non-sucky pieces of life! :)
SCHOOL IS OVER!!! Or at least the teaching part is. The trip to the zoo was awesome... although I would have rather skipped the "tour" and just taken the kiddos all by myself... but since most teachers don't have my background in biology, I am sure for the other groups it was worth it. I definitely need to go back there myself. My favorite part was feeding the giraffes (they have prehensile tongues ya know!) The day after that we had field day - a pointless day of playing games outside all day -- but it was still fun.
That weekend I got steamrolled by a bad cold which lasted the entire week. The kids were awful... not as awful as they could have been because they are great kids... but still awful... so it was a looooong last week. The last day was good though! I finished reading them "The Phantom Tollbooth" (my all time favorite book) and then I read them "The Rainbow Goblins" which they all loved. I got lots of hugs :) I will never forget those kiddos!
The last day with the kids was Thursday, so Friday was clean-up-the-room day. It was also a day to hang out with the teacher-friends and say goodbye. I got some beautiful presents (might get around to taking pictures of those at some point) and a lot of teacher-supplies!! Most of all I got a lot of heartfelt "good luck" and "we'll miss you" and hugs. As much as I would not want to work for that district... the staff at my school was a bunch of wonderful people and I will miss them.
So... as much as I will miss my kids and the staff... I'M OFFICIALLY DONE! At least with the teaching part :) The next time I teach it will be in MY OWN classroom in my school in Estes Park!! I do have 5 weeks of summer classes which start in another week and a half....and I don't really know where I will find the motivation to get through them... but I'm sure I will somehow. I'm looking forward to spending the time with my friends :) Then I will get to start hunting for a place to live in Estes Park. Yay!
In the meantime I have been enjoying my vacation time. I have slept, slept, slept, slept, went shopping with my Marci (we found this wonderful shirt... I will have to take a picture of it later too), slept, slept, slept, had ice cream and saw a movie with my Jessica, slept, slept, slept... and when I got tired of sleeping I took a nap! Speaking of which... I might just need another nap soon :)
Anyway, I need to go figure out what I need to do to re-arrange the rest of my traveling plans. I should be updating the blog from Vermont soon... hopefully United won't be sucking tomorrow!!!!
