Making Erik's Life More Difficult
Today I got up at 5:40 A.M. so that I could get ready and drive myself to work a little earlier than usual to avoid the traffic. I usually carpool with Erik and don't concern myself with the traffic since he's driving but he has a late meeting today and I didn't want to wait around after school. Knowing that I am not fully alert early in the morning, I loaded up my car with my science experiment materials and the corn I cooked for their nutrition lesson last night. As I turned left into the parking lot, I felt so happy that I missed the heavy traffic until I realized that I forgot to bring my gate and room keys. It was in its usual spot, in the little nitch near the door handle on the passenger side of Erik's car. So there I was stuck in the parking lot and too early to go to the office and ask for another set of keys. I had to call Erik and have him come to my school to drop off my keys. I am such a dork. Things like this seem to happen to me too frequently to just simply dismiss it with "Oh, I accidentally forgot...." How did I keep myself alive all this time? I make my own life difficult. Now I'm making Erik's life more difficult too. So sad...
On a brighter note, the first testing week wasn't too bad although we all felt a little drained. I made sure to plan some fun activities this week and it worked. One student was absent all week and I heard some other kids say, "She missed all the fun stuff this week!" We made Native American tribe trioramas, wanted posters with pictures of them looking mean in their cowboy hats and face covered with a bandana, and today we'll be eating corn and doing a moon crater experiment. Yesterday at the Coach party, I ended buying a pretty gaudy looking purse. I've been in that kind of a mood lately. It's small with pink small C prints, white leather with gold trims, and gold buckles.
