Well my morning started with this….
Yep, that’s my mouth guard… I am one of those up-tight OCD type-A personalities and it seeps through my subconscious so that during the night I clench and grind my teeth. It’s lovely… and, if I don’t wear it at night, I have awful headaches the next day and my whole face hurts. It’s great! I have no idea how to make it go away haha… but this morning I wash rinsing it and it just snapped! Right in my hand!! I guess I don’t know my own strength. So now I have something else on my list to fix…. and these things are not cheap!!
To make my day even better, I went back to my classroom today to start getting things unpacked and organized. I drove all the way to school before I realized I had left my classroom keys and id badge to get in the door at home, so I had to go all the way back home and come back again. I just love these kind of days haha. I actually let out a verbal groan as I walked up the sidewalk to the door. But once I got in, it’s always ok, despite the fact that they already have the tables set up for inservice next week… that made me cringe as well. I like my classroom though, and I am just praying that my year goes better than last year. I’ll take a repeat of year one or two, but I just don’t think I can handle a repeat of year three. It really did me in last year. Anyway, I just thought I’d share what things looked like when I got there this morning. It’s always a surprise, you never know what to expect.

| My room, everything crammed inside… |
 |
| Behind my room, our storage area… yeah that’s more of my junk… |
 |
| I did know to expect this haha, I had to pack up some things that needed to be locked up at the end of the year. |
So my first order of business was to plug in my new scentsy warmer for my classroom. It is a cute little cupcake and makes things smell so much better!!!
 |
| And it smells like birthday cake!! |
Of course my whole wall of plugs weren’t working though, sometimes that happens because our school’s electrical system is so old. I emailed about it though and it was fixed before I left this evening, so that was nice.
So after about 2 hours of work this morning and then another 2 1/2 this afternoon got me to this point… moving this stuff around and cleaning takes a lot longer than you would think! I usually being my school year in rows, or a more formal set up and then move my desks into groups or different designs.
And last but not least, my desk! Doesn’t this look like it could be my desk?? I think so. ;0)
I got that little pink lamp for 6 dollars at staples today! I was so excited haha!! Anyway, I’ll probably post more pictures of the actual finished product. Luckily I have the week to finish things up and sift through all of the nice “donations” from my department head who is now in Singapore! I actually started tearing up when I walked by her old classroom today and peaked inside. None of her things were there and it was just so sad. :0( I guess it’s time for me to stand on my own, it’s just been nice to have such a dear friend and “mom” down the hall from me. Her son and husband actually made the monitor stand in the picture above.
Hope y’all have a super fabulous week! I’m enjoying my last few days of freedom!!! ;0)
