Wait, that's not my alarm... that's Karen's alarm, I don't have to get up yet... wait... IT'S KAREN'S ALARM? IT'S LIGHT OUT?! WHAT TIME IS IT?!!?!?!?
7:08 AM.
Not only was I supposed to be teaching at 7:30 this morning, but I had "morning duty" at 6:45... which meant that I was supposed to be at school to unlock the doors and let the students in.
Luckily, I had packed my school and gym bags upon my return from the Superbowl party we went to, and had picked out today's clothes, which were hanging on the back of the door. I was dressed, out of the bathroom, and in the car by 7:17, and made it to school by 7:32. Not too shabby. I of course frantically called the front desk from the car to let school know that I would be late, and while I waltzed into my classroom at 7:33, my students still loved giving me a hard time about it.
A lot happened before 7:35.
I woke up to an upset tummy, which I didn't really register until I was halfway to school, and my voice is going in and out. I also inexplicably have the hiccups, and had to surprise sub a class third period. In other words, I have come down with a bad case of the Mondays.
Is it Mardi Gras yet?
In case you haven't seen this video, I thought I'd share it. It's my inspiration to get through the rest of my day as cheerfully as I can (along with a lovely gift I found in my mailbox at school- a whole package of different notecards that I can use from Kate, an FJV who is too good to me). Happy Monday!
