Planning ahead happened somewhat this week. I never officially made it to the store to get food for the whole week, so that was not so good. But, I did my work outs, which was good. Goals for this week- stick to meal plans and go to the store.
It was the last full week of classes this past week. I cannot believe the school year is almost over. I swear, it was just September. And while my kids are all so excited and claim it felt like forever, I know I blinked and it's ending. We had graduation for the seniors yesterday. It was sweet and very odd. It made me think a lot about all my graduations- high school, college, and graduate school. While I was always glad to be done, I was always uneasy with figuring out what came next. These seniors are embarking on a great adventure. I'm excited to see what comes next for them.
Now, we just have to finish up the school year for everyone else. We have two class days left and then three days of exams. All I keep hoping is that my kids learned something real, something important, something they will keep with them as they grow and mature. I just keep hoping I've made a difference. And I keep hoping that I will continue to make a difference.
I did take some time for myself this week. I took Friday off from work since I had the vacation time still (our time doesn't roll over and we don't get paid for it. If we don't use it, we lose it). I got to sleep in, take an extra-long walk, run a few errands I've been forgetting about lately, have lunch with my mom, and go get a manicure with a friend. It was a very relaxing day, I was glad I got to enjoy it :) And I owe all my subs big time since I heard my students acted a bit crazy.
It was also BBQ Fest this weekend- always a fun time in Memphis. I went down Friday night and had a good time at my friend's family's booth. Lots of good food and fun people, and most importantly, good people watching.
The end of the year business and all got to me yesterday and I ended up taking a 2.5 hour nap, but I know I needed it. I had a nice dinner catching up with a few friends. Then, I spent some time with Memaw finishing assembling her patio furniture. She's pretty much settled in which is awesome :) We're all so glad she's loving her new apartment.

Now, it's time to relax a few hours more before this crazy week of finals and end of the year items occurs. Wish me luck!
