Dragging Behind

I had the last two days off, with hopes of

1. getting a job
2. checking at least one thing off the "I Do" to do list

in 48 hours... obviously some big goals, but I was feeling brave.

So yesterday I went into work for a few hours to cover a scheduling mishap, go into overtime and earn some credit with the new manager since raises are coming up (maybe...). Then lunch with the future in-laws, took them to the venue (hope they like it), visited a hotel - not the hotel we're using so that was disappointing, Matt got a hair cut, but we didn't have time to take the save the date picks, then early dinner with the Matt's family, then late dinner with my grandparents, then bed...

Today I am seriously dragging behind. Feeling bad that I didn't get to check something off the list, though maybe a half check for hotel since we picked one by process of elimination, I just need to get everything arranged. Mowed the yard, and got a little sunburned, but I feel good about it. Then I did the worst thing I could possibly do: Take A Nap! This ruins my day, I don't know why I continue to do this to myself. The bed is so alluring, "I'll just sleep for 30 min... 45... 1 hour... 2 hours..." 3 hours later I feel like crap and want nothing more than to sleep until tomorrow morning. Why am I so grumpy after a nap?

I did manage to eventually salvage the rest of my day. I went to Target : ) and I finished my application for THE DISTRICT I really want to teach in. I'm feeling much more at ease knowing I don't have to pass my test because of my degree I can still teach Life Sciences 8-12... not really sure what qualifies as "life science" but still very exciting.

I haven't even thought about having time to run, maybe I can squeeze in a 5 (or 7) mile run on Sunday, but with the festivities planned for Saturday night I really doubt it. I think mowing the yard can count as I work out, its a pretty big yard.

Next on the lists:

• Arrange a block of rooms at the hotel (GOAL: have save the dates in the mail on July 12)
  
• Put together a portfolio, and start making the round to meet principles (GOAL: meet/drop off portfolios for all the HS principles in 3 districts by the end of June?)
