An Online Break
Do you ever take 100% online breaks? I took an unexpected one this week. It wasn’t meant to happen, but somehow it did, and I think it might have been just what the doctor ordered. I’ll pay now as I’ve made no progress on my to do list for Spring Break, but I really feel so much more energized and focused.
I left Sunday for Austin for the CX State Debate Meet with my students. We ate at Red Lobster, and I was happy to get lobster. I’d been craving it. And better yet I paid for it with a gift card I received from MyPoints. We also spent a couple hours at the mall and it was fun to just unwind and relax with a fellow teacher for adult time. :) I checked in online briefly Sunday night, but I knew we had a long day ahead so I turned in early.
Monday the debate tournament at UT took from 8 that morning until 9 that night. We were exhausted! We finished the night off at Chili’s where I had the worst Chili’s experience I’ve ever had (one of my top awful restaurant experiences ever). When we got back to the hotel, the kids piled up in our room, and we played Uno. By the time we quit and sent them to their rooms, I couldn’t hold my eyes open – so no online time.
Tuesday we slept in a little and then went and played tourist. I took the kids to the capital and such, and then they wanted to hit another mall. This was Spring Break so we headed across Austin (thank you Garmin) and hit another mall. It was much better than the one Sunday night so we spent more time there than we should. It was after 4 when we left so I hit rush hour. Ugh!
I finally got home at 10 last night. After visiting with Cameron a little because I missed her SOOOOO much, I went to bed again without checking in online.
This morning we met a new friend of mine and her mom at Ihop for breakfast. It was nice. Then Becka and I both had eye appointments. It’s been a busy few days, and I’ve missed my online world, but I feel so much better than I have in weeks. Hoping now to get lots of new content out and get some other blogs officially going.
