The title should give away my mental status. Monday and Tuesday were so awesome. I think what I like best about the All Write!!! Conference is the intimate setting coupled with the big names that bring the big knowledge. It was just what the doctor ordered. I'm re inspired and so torqued for not just my own writing, but working with students. I put all my Reading and Writing Journals into one basket. I want to be able to model for the students and teachers my own use of them so as to help anyone who needs to see it, the PURPOSE for it all. :) I am looking forward to debriefing with colleagues on Monday...just a way to keep it going. Momentum, momentum, momentum...
Wednesday was a blur, but I didn't feel that good anyway, so the near-write-off of the day doesn't count against me, does it? Don't answer that!
As soon as my peds hit the ground Thursday it was non-stop. There may have been a few minutes that weren't spent getting goals met, but it wasn't many... Between Orkin, and Shoda's I had two adjacent lawns dug up. I was doing anything I was able to do to make their jobs easier (and less expensive). The bonus? All the debris from both houses was removed and out of my life forever! Ahhhhhhh. I also got the quad listed with Christine Shafer at REMAX. There was much running around, but, again, it all related to my goals. I actually feel like the loose ends are tying up. Each step I make just gets the whole process closer. It's not like I get one or two things done, and then can cross them off my list. Much of my doings are processes that keep creeping closer to doneness, and one day it will just be like, "hey, I can check all 10 of these things off." Am extremely pleased with my progress, though it could be more, I also understand that some of the "off" time has been chill time or be with people I care about time.
Take tonight for example...Bill and I took mom and dad to the Boathouse in Winona Lake. It was a nice dinner to celebrate their 49th wedding anniversary and dad's birthday. They liked our present with was a veritable "Price's Right" showcase showdown with little things they might need for their vacation. When I say "Price's Right"I don't mean high dollar as much as I mean, each item came with a silly narrative like they do on the show. Either way, they were entertained, as were we while watching them unwrap each item.
Though my rambling is pointless tonight, I felt it my duty to check in, especially since this really only constitutes entry number two for this week. That's o.k., like Sarah says, "there's always tomorrow." Thanks, Sarah!!

I can honestly say I have enjoyed reading about your goals and expectations for this summer. It motivates me to make sure I get all of my things on my list completed...Good luck with crossing things off of your list. I will be reading to see how things go for you! ALECIA :-)
