I recently read a teacher's blog post about what teacher's blog when school is not in session (I wish I could remember which blog so that I could give a quick shout out-sorry). This blogger was lamenting about how her blog was turning into the more personal musings...makes sense. Today, I find myself in much the same place. I had the urge to post today, but was a bit wary as I don't want to bore any of you. Decided to risk it, though.
Summer is 'da bomb'! Woke up at 6:30 a.m. and did not have to panic about making it out of bed and on the road on time. Bliss! Sat up in bed (6:45 a.m.) and reached over to my nightstand to grab my iPad. Effortless. Lounged around (still in bed) and read several articles, answered a few emails (only the ones I wanted to answer), and Tweeted. Luxury! About 7:15 a.m. I meandered out to the kitchen for a cup of coffee. Ahhhhh! It's now 8:51 a.m. And though I did make it out of bed, do the dishes, water the garden, feed the dogs, and start a load of laundry...I'm still in my pj's! Sinful!
I'm hovering in that place where I feel a bit lazy and guilty over being in my pj's at 8:51 a.m. on a Monday morning. My husband tells me to get over it. Enjoy my downtime. He says I deserve it. I don't know about 'deserving' anything, but I am striving to take him up on his advice (he is a pretty smart guy, after all). Relax. Enjoy. Rejuvenate.
When I decide to do something...I go big! So, to kick off the rejuvenation process, we will be spending three weeks in Central America. So excited! We will be exploring all that Nicaragua has to offer~ soaking in the colonial history of Granada and Leon, checking out the canopy tops (complete with Howler monkeys), volcanoes (Mombacho), Lake Nicaragua (the 10th largest lake in the world), and the ocean(s). I am so excited I can barely stand it!
My hope is to blog as often as we have Internet service (which can be spotty) so that I can share this experience with those who are interested. I hope you pop in once in awhile to check out my posts and pics. Until then...relax, enjoy, and rejuvenate.

I used to drink Yellow Tail wine...which I liken to Easter Egg dye! It was not until I was in my 7th year of teaching, and after a trip to wine county to appease my husband, that I acquired a taste for the finer things in life. I still teach, but now I drink wine...not Easter Egg dye. This blog is designed to share my daily experiences as a teacher, with an occasional wine note thrown in!
