Let the Festivities Begin!

I am now officially on Thanksgiving Break. This is indeed one of the things I am thankful for right now. I do love my job and am very thankful that I have it because I know there are a lot of Americans don't have jobs right now. I also do have a pretty awesome job. I get to be around the future everyday. I get to have, even if a small part, an opportunity to make a difference in kid's lives. That is pretty awesome. I do not touch every kid, but I do touch some and that is amazing still! I love my students and even if it is hard sometimes because of how broken their lives are, it is so worth it. I think I need to tape what I just wrote up on a wall in my house and look at it every day before I go to work. Seriously, it is hard to have a positive attitude at work sometimes and I am not always who I should be there but each day is a learning experience for me.

So, wanna know how I will spend the first day of break? I knew you would. I got to sleep in which was magnificent and needed. My eye flared again yesterday so I am again on antibiotic drops. It worries me a little. Sleeping helped a bit. I am going to head to the grocery store and buy potatoes for Thanksgiving. I then will go to the laundromat which is one of my favorite places on the planet (feel the sarcasm!). Then I plan on watching some DVRed shows and just chilling.

I have gotten to see Ben the past few days and it has been fun. Last night we went to dinner at my favorite Indian restaurant. It was fun. We also watched tons of The Office because he is trying to catch up. Yeah, it is really a sacrifice for me to watch The Office as you all know. I did sleep through most of the ones we watched last night but I had good reason. We may watch more tonight. Good times!
