by the way

i cannot believe the school year is already over. it seems like we just started. my students came so far this year...but there is still so much i would have loved to have taught them. i can't wait to see their prom pictures and their smiles on their graduation days.

i will have many more classes to come, but this class will always hold a special place in my heart.

last night, i slept 16 hours straight. i think i was past exhaustion and woke up at 4pm today wondering where the hell i was. i went to waffle house for breakfast (late bird's special?) and spent the rest of the day "nesting". every once in a while, i get this urge to clean things. erica and i call it "nesting" before our boys come home.

here is what i have done since my late start:

• changed tea lights in the candles
• vacuumed all 730 square feet of the apartment
• loaded/unloaded dishwasher
• handwashed about 15 dishes
• cleaned kitchen floor (on my hands and knees)
• changed lilah's litter/eating area
• washed sheets
• washed towels/robes
• went through closet and got rid of a TON of stuff
• taken out the trash 5 times
• went through fridge, cabinets, and freezer (YUCK). i have a habit of forgetting about food.
• unpacked from last day of school
• sorted mail
• washed trashcans
• de-cluttered nightstand
• endorsed checks
• cleaned out 4 purses
• swept front porch
• cleaned out vacuum
• dusted
• watched most of the reds game
• made new itunes playlist
• made icea tea
• went to cvs for prescription, asst other things
• declogged garbage sink thing
• put away last of the holiday stuff.
• hung some pictures
• talked to erica, mom, dad, chris
• played with lilah
• sorted cleaning products
• showered, shaved

would YOU be this productive in 7 hours?

On another note, chris is on his way home right NOW! i am so excited. i haven't seen him since early april and it's about time. we are going to disney with my family on thursday and will be back next wednesday. hooray!!!!
