Time for MY 21st Century Breakdown

Well, the CDC has changed their minds and we're going back to school tomorrow. I got the call around 3pm and kind of almost had a panic attack. Why? you ask? Why should I be stressed out after having, essentially had, a four day weekend?

You would think that having had two extra days off from school would be relaxing, but I think I did more work in the last two days than I do in a normal day at school. I have been writing and responding to a gazillion emails from students. I have been creating assignments they can do at home without their textbooks (since many of them didn't bring their books home last Friday). I have been trying to come up with assignments my AP kids can do at home in preparation for the test. I have been trying to figure out what is going on with all the after school stuff like Prom which I was supposed to help chaperone this Friday. I have been trying to transcribe a taped interview so I can finally do the article. I have been trying to keep up with my training for my first ever 5k. It's been a rather mad two days. Sure, I got to sleep in beyond 5:30am, but I spent most of the day in front of my computer doing work. It's been a bit nuts.

Oh, and add to that, this was my last "real" weekend with Jon since he starts working second shift, Tuesday through Saturday nights now. That is going to take a lot of getting used to since now I'll see him once, maybe twice a week if I'm lucky. I'm leaving work when he'll be going in (and working till midnight, no less.)

So, last week it was my students needing to be talked down, today it's me. I'm hitting that panic mode to be honest. At least it's a three day week now, but still...crikey.

Well, time to go do more work and then, in honor of Cinco de Mayo, we're making Chili-lime pork and margaritas.

How long till summer break? :(
