Wednesday nights are sacred in our house. That is the night that The Big Bang Theory and Mike & Molly are on t.v. here. We LOVE Big Bang and Mike & Molly. Usually we are laughing so hard I have to worry about wetting my pants. There is just something special about Wednesday nights that I look forward to. I try my hardest not to bring work home with me and to keep Simon far, far away from the computer and iPhone. I just love cuddling on the couch laughing together. I seriously wish we could have more Wednesday nights. But this Wednesday THEY WEREN'T ON!! Channel 9 completely messed up my Wednesday mojo! All I can say is it better be on next Wednesday.
Thursday I made a huge effort to pull myself out of this funk. Generally, the teacher in me is never far from the surface of my mind and I give up A LOT of my "free" time creating lessons or learning centers etc.. I usually spend the whole breaks focusing on the up coming term, so when I have only spent a tiny amount of time these past two weeks I start to lose my tiny mind. I can't let go of anything. So I lie in bed thinking of the 3,000 things on my to do list and start to panic. But I have had no energy to do anything about it.
So in an effort to save what little sanity I might still be clinging to, I went into school to get some work done. My close friend and work colleague Shazz was there too. Apparently she has had no energy for school things either this break and isn't organized for the up coming term. And because I am a horrible person, all I can say is thank god! I don't know how she does it. Her house is spotless, she is leader of our team, she is AMAZINGLY organized a week in advanced, and to top it all off she is a fantastic mother to two kiddos. I only hope to aspire to her level of awesomeness. So I didn't get it all done but at least it looks like I have done something. But I haven't done anything else...so panic is starting to creep back in.
The weirdest thing about Australia has to be Good Friday hands down! The whole of the friggin country shuts down for a religious holiday. The weird part is very little of Australia is actually religious compared to America. There is nothing on t.v. and everyone eats fish. Well, I don't eat fish and I get extremely bored on Good Friday. Well, this Good Friday I painted an accent wall in my family room. YEAAAA. I really like how it all turned out and it definitely gives the room a new feel. The horrible part is I have made more work for myself because the painters did just a crap job I need to repaint the crown molding and other walls where the tape took off the paint. GRRRRRR!!!
In between all those activities I have been trying to not focus on babies and pregnancy. I would love to say it has worked but it hasn't completely. It doesn't help that I have started to get some crampy feelings in the land down under and I am still nausea from time to time. Walking down the pregnancy test aisle took a lot of control. Now I am off to watch the Rachel Zoe Marathon and dream about owning Marc Jacobs.
