LONG Day

I've been up a long time today. The alarm was set for 3 this morning but I didn't make it up until 3:30ish. Grades were due and our new system quite honestly sucks. I can't do them from home, occasionally can't access them at all and some of the changes don't save. It just feels unprofessional.One of the guys across the street taped The Simpsons and that's on in the background as I type tonight. It's telling bible stories a little less than biblically, but it's fun.Play consturction is underway and the set is almost ready to be assembled. It's going to take a million coats of paint to cover the aquamarine green used last fall. Sigh. But I am enjoying it.Tomorrow is the first meeting for the Germany mission trip this summer. Should be interesting. We've been promised homemade pasta. Past that, it should be a quiet week since MEAPs (statewide standardized tests) are over and many kids are headed out on spring break already (It officially starts Friday). My big plans for the break are to dig up my passport, get new tires on my car and actaully sleep.

Current Mood: zombie-esque

So here we are.

I really thought I'd never blog. It just seems like in a culture with so few things left private, my thoughts shouldn't be hanging out in cyberspace. Truth told, I kinda feel like I've got a button undone on my shirt and can't manage to keep it closed. I guess I've also got this irrational irritation with my descent from hand written letters and notes to small cards to emails to ecards to mass emails to not really much communication at all but text messages and managing to return phone calls. Sigh. It's my own fault, but perhaps I'll be better at this. I've got to do something!On a happier note, the first crocus is up in my front yard. It's truly tiny and a delicate buttery yellow just beside the driveway. I finally feel like spring may be here. :)
