Back to the Grind

Well, tomorrow, I go back to school. I know it is hard to feel sorry for a person who has had 2 weeks off but there you have it.

Katherine and I have had fun with our vacation, and I think Frank enjoyed his very little time off as well.

Yesterday, Frank, Katherine, Cowboy and I went up to my classroom to prepare it for the spring semester.

This included but was not limited to:
putting the desks back in order,
watching Cowboy so he doesn't tinkle on the carpet,
reorganizing my cabinets and shelves,
keeping Katherine out of trouble,
moving my Social Studies text books,
getting Cowboy back into the room,
erasing the marker off the board from Katherine discovering EXPO markers,
Frank cleaning my new fridge
moving my desk to make room for my new fridge,
plugging in my new fridge,
moving my desk back because it didn't need to move in the first place
helping Katherine use the chalk,
teaching Katherine how to "clean" desks to occupy her,
discovering that we set off the alarm somehow,
turning off the school alarm,
finding out that I was locked out the school,
thanking God I had my cell phone to call Frank to say I was locked out of the school,
Frank getting Katherine, locking Cowboy in the room and rescueing me,
getting back to the room.
grabbing my purse,
turning out the light
and we were out.
Pretty normal day for us.

We went over to Gina and Jeff's house afterwards for appetizers and dinner. Then we drove to Dallas to stay at Grandma Kathy's house so that we could help get Christmas decorations put away. (1200 ornaments requires more than 1 person).

And now, when Katherine gets up from her nap we will go home.
