A Week In The Life - Tuesday, February 14

6:00am/ wake up. scott is awake as well and wishes me a happy valentine's day. i smile.
6:20/ i get dressed in my valentine's day finest which includes a black sweater, a pink top, and red pants. i don't usually dress for holidays (i don't EVER dress for holidays!) but i decided to this year. and? it matches my new coach jacket, my gift from scott. :)
7:45/ arrive at school. find a gift bag sitting on my computer keyboard. smile.
8:00/ spend the day going over a test review. i'm convinced the kids will do well on their test tomorrow! (this year has been a struggle. i've done about 95% of the work and beg the kids to meet me the other 5%. it's getting old.)
10:30/ send over a valentine's day card to jen. receive a joke back that makes me laugh out loud.
12:10pm/ eat lunch with the other science teachers. eh. i haven't been spending much time in our lunch room and i'm not really sure why.
1:55/ 6th period starts and we begin a 3 day bacterial growth lab. i thoroughly gross them out by informing them of all the bacteria that is on them, around them, and floating in the air. by the end of class my germ-x is half gone.
3:00/ leave school as quickly as possible. i have a hot date with my man! these are waiting for me when i get home.

3:30/ head off to santa barbara. scott and i are going to pascucci, my very favorite restaurant! it's a far trek but totally worth it. and it shows he cares. :)
4:00/ make a quick stop at the camarillo outlets so scott can exchange some shirts. i guess it's fair since he's driving 45 mins for dinner for me.
4:45/ i'm amazed at how gorgeous the weather is on our way out. the water is calm and the sun is shining!

5:15/ we get to santa barbara and it's super windy and cold. that means there sure won't be any walking around for us. that's ok. we get to the restaurant and have a seat at the bar. we order drinks and start chatting and laughing.

6:15/ we sit down for dinner. i make sure i order some delish bacon wrapped prawns. they are AMAZING! scott orders his risotto, of course. i pick out something new. it's yummy...but i'm already pretty full from the appetizer. oops!

8:00/ we're back in the car and heading home. i tell scott i'm so tired. scott is too. this worries me. so i find total eclipse of the heart on the radio and turn it up! scott and i sing a duet ;)
9:00/ home and straight to bed. we had the best night!

A Week In The Life - Monday, February 13

I have LOVED the idea of doing a week in the life but simply haven't found the time to actually do it. Of course, the week I finally chose was last week - the one where I was SO busy I didn't have ANY time to actually write it up! So although this is a week late...and there aren't nearly enough photos...here's a glimpse into the craziness!

6:00am/ wake up. well, lets be honest, i really just got up because i had already been awake for at least an hour. i've noticed lately that i have anxiety every sunday night and just can't stay asleep. this night proves to be no different and i only end up sleeping for about 2 hrs. boo.
7:40/ arrive at school. teach some science. we're finishing up a unit on evolution so i spend the class periods tying up some loose ends before their test on wed.
11:15/ prep. jen and i run some errands in preparation for our people's choice awards on thursday. we both commiserate about being exhausted already even though the week just started.
12:15pm/ lunch. a couple of former students come in with a bouquet of red roses and present me with them. what?! i'm shocked and overwhelmed. i don't believe they are for me but they convince me otherwise. they say that they want to thank me for all i do. i tear up but hide it well.

2:50/ the bell rings. school is done but i am not. i thought for sure i'd be able to get home early and take a nap but unfortunately that's not going to happen. i meet with some other teachers about planning and finally leave school at 430.
5:00/ i get home and am so tired but also know it's too late for me now. i start looking at blogs online and end up drifting off...
6:03/ scott calls and wakes me up. he asks if we're having dinner tonight. sure and thank you for waking me from a nap that couldn't have ruined my night's sleep!!
7:00/ scott goes back to work. i sit and watch tv to try to keep myself awake. so far so good.
9:00/ scott gets home and i'm headed to bed. good night!!
