Just call me Peggy Sue

You know that poem that starts "Dance like no one is watching"? Forget the rest of it, and just do that part, a lot.

The Amazing School Break:
Go home, eat good food, sleep lots, relax tons, have a good time, see fun people, do no work, return refreshed and revitalized, ease back into life with a new rested attitude
Paula's School Break:
Drive frantically to multiple destinations at least 100 miles apart, sleep a little, eat pretty much nothing, have a good time, see fun people, do no work, return slightly refreshed and slightly exhausted, dive straight back into the hardest parts of life within 20 minutes of arriving back at school with expectations of more stresses to come

I had a really nice break. I enjoyed myself, it was wonderful weather, I saw my amazing cute nephew and my awesome sister and brother in law, I hung out with my beautiful boyfriend and his hilarious friends. But I get back, go to work, and my class full of girls is so badly behaved I'm about ready to rip someone's head off by the end of class. I had to tell the whole class to be quiet at least 3 times, and I got individuals endlessly inbetween. I even pulled out the angry music on the drive home - it's been awhile since the angry music was necessary. These girls are so great, and I love them so much, but when they are so middle school that I don't want to be in the room, it's hardly worth my time. And I was so mad that it ruined how good my break was.
My schedule for the next three weeks looks kinda like one of those nightmare weeks that people get all stressed about. I'm running from class to rehearsal to test to rehearsal to class to teaching to rehearsal to.... I won't have a real weekend until Spring Break.
Just breathe...
