Number one - it was only three days long (lucky!).
Number two - we got to meet all of our students (and middle school kids RULE!).
Number three - a kind person brought us cookies at the end of the first day as a "survival" gift (THOUGHTFUL times TEN!).
We are enjoying the new campus and all of it's lovely GREENERY and we are both beginning to feel more at "home" in our individual classrooms. The hallways are much livelier when the students are around and the smiles are certainly more frequent. Ah-hem, "Ummm.....Miss.....do you have a baby in there?!!!!" Haha.
In not so great news, the germs that accompany a return to school have also been lurking around the flat. Nory came down with a high fever on Wednesday night and has since experienced vomiting, a running nose, and two sleepless nights. Phil and I are pretty exhausted and I woke up this morning feeling like I was hit by a legitimate mac truck - totally lifeless and couch-bound for most of the day. This has put a big damper on Phillip's birthday celebrations (a cancelled breakfast and afternoon tea party) and I'm wondering whether this "coincidence" has anything to do with his birthday wish of NO CELEBRATION WHATSOEVER. If it is related, I'm hoping he could refine his wish in the future to be a little more kind to the people in his inner circle ;)
We've joked that age 31 has not been too great so far. A sick baby. A sick wife. Intermittent internet all day long. The first seven pharmacies on a Tylenol run being closed at 4:30 in the afternoon. And then a traffic-filled drive to a random bookstore to retrieve a three hole punch that has been nearly impossible to find in the entire country! I think he should take it all as a complement that at age 31, you're just mature enough to handle whatever curve ball gets thrown at you ;)
Here's to hoping the rest of the evening goes smoothly! Even if it doesn't, if Nory could just sleep a little better than she has been, that would be AWESOME!!!!!!
Happy Birthday, My Love! If a pity party is what you were looking for, you got it!!!!
XOXO
