Slowing sliding in

So last night I purposely stayed up late because I could. That sounded like a good enough excuse. I wasn't exhausted so why not read and watch some tube. Besides, Deja was staying the night with Gammy and Papo so I didn't have to be 'Mommy' for the night. I also told myself I could sleep in in the morning.

The morning quickly came and my body didn't cooperate with my original plans! What the honk! I was wide awake at 7:15 am! Can I just sleep until 9:00...please? No. My body had a different plan, from where I don't know. I would like to know so I can make sure they never arrive again. I tried to keep my eyes closed tightly in hopes that I would drift off to sleep but that never happened. Despite the change in plans I got to lay in bed for a while and watched reruns of the Golden Girls. Love that show.

I finally accepted the fact that sleeping in wasn't in the cards this morning and got my Mexican tail up and showered. After I was up and at 'em I made my way up to school. I was eager to get my things in place since changing rooms. I also wanted to get some sort of rhyme and reason to my boxes for my new roomie, Mel. Since I will be in Kinder classrooms more than at my desk, Mr. Perales put Mel and I together. I couldn't have asked for a better roommate.

In the short period of time I spent up there today I was able to get my boxes moved and hid, my desk and computer set up as well as get some housekeeping completed for a new teammate. As I sat at my new desk, in my new room (in timbuktu) and in my new position I quickly realized how different this year will be. I won't have my own class to greet on August 25. I won't have name tags and lunch tags to make or centers to set up for that first day. There are so many things I am going to miss about having my own class. Will it get easier?
