ten things tuesday...

Random things on my mind:

1) I'm excited for my book group to discuss the Gurnsey Literary & Potato Peel Pie Society--it should make for some very lively and thoughtful discussion. I'm enjoying the book.

2) Gloomy weather is a downer. Woke up to snow & slush yesterday and today it's just dreary. Winter begone!

3) Creatively, I've felt a bit blocked lately. I had a great idea for a student project but couldn't find the resources I needed and it frustrated me. I KNOW it's out there, I just don't know how to find it.

4) I really hate having to cook all my own meals. And eating cereal isn't an option for every meal. I wish someone else would take care of routine things for a while.

5) Tomorrow is April Fools Day. I hope no one pranks me. I have no pranks planned.

6) Vacation is still three weeks away. T-h-r-e-e.

7) In those three weeks is a week of NWEA testing. I don't even remember what NWEA stands for but luckily, I don't have to administer the tests.

8) My lesson plans are complete until vacation. And my photocopying and organizing is also done.

9) Maybe I'm spending too much time by myself.

10) There are moments of the day that are pure joy. I felt it Sunday, yesterday and today--despite the gloomy weather.

I don't know what NWEA stands for, either. Huh.

I'm trying to get the family to eat at home more often, and am having a hard time being creative with meal planning. Maybe I should start a book club-like dinner club?
