I. Am. Exhausted.
Today was a great first day of school - most of the kids are sweet as can be, and two even told me, "Thank you," as they left class. No, seriously, they did.
There were very few hiccups, and even those were minor. I love my new job. What a blessing.
Will and I had a date at the local pizza place tonight. They were running a special for 09/09/09 - specialty pizzas and pitchers of micro brew for $9.99. We had a Greek pizza and a pitcher of Mac & Jacks. A perfect way to end this very long day.
I am so looking forward to day 2.

By way of a list...
-I was able to go down to Oklahoma for the weekend to hang out with my family. It was the first time all 4 kids were together since Christmas 2007. It had been way too long! The time absolutely flew by and before I knew it I was back home in Washington...but the visit was fabulous. If only the Dawgs could have pulled off a win (on my sister Cindy's birthday!)...then it would have been perfect.
-I feel rested up and ready to start school! Tomorrow is our first official day back - a work day that will start off with meetings and an instruction session on the new copier. Fun stuff! The kids start on Wednesday and I am SO excited to meet them. I have not been this excited for school to start since my first year (when I had NO IDEA what I was getting myself into)!
-The weather has started to change and we've resigned ourselves to the fact that fall is here. I love fall, and the decorating bug has started to bite! Once I get school underway, I will start pulling out the decorations (which shouldn't be too hard because most of them barely made it into boxes, let alone put up on the garage shelves). And fall means college football, which is a bit hit around here.
-I want to work on meal plans for each week. I want to keep things organized so that I can focus on school and National Boards this year, and having meals planned in advance (and maybe even prepared and frozen occasionally) will help. I have looked online for plans, but a lot of them call for mostly canned/frozen foods and lots of starchy and unhealthy foods...and a lot of them look like they are geared towards unadventurous eaters (or kids, which in a lot of cases are one and the same). Will and I need to sit down and think about what we'd like and what makes sense for us...any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
-Our house is (mostly) clean and it was so nice (albeit unusual) to come home and only have laundry from this weekend to take care of...I like not having to play catch up, and I want to keep it that way. I'm working room by room to deep clean, but I'm thinking about hiring someone to do it - I know a gal who cleans houses for a reasonable price, and I know she does a very thorough job.
-I love, love, love this jewelry.
