A nice weekend.

It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge.

Look at me, I've gone two days without blogging. Ugh! Friday I went out in Cleveland, Mississippi for the very first time. It was...interesting. We went to a place called On The Rocks. It was so hot in there. As in there was no air conditioning. Rough. Honestly, though, I just needed a few drinks. It was a long, hard week. I had kids wetting themselves left and right (4th grade!!!!!!) I had parents come to the school, I had crazy logistical crap to deal with, it was a mess. Tequila was my girl Friday night. 

Saturday I had had just about enough of this town, so I got in my car and drove to Memphis, Tennessee to see my man. As soon as I saw him I burst into tears. I had no idea how stressed I really was until I saw him and I just felt like I had a grasp on reality again. I cuddled with my kitty, we went to some of my favorite restaurants. It was a much needed night away. He even helped me with some school stuff! He bought me some new outfits, I raided the dollar section at Target for rewards for my kids. I'm so thankful I had that time away. I feel much more renewed. 

I couldn't believe how emotional I got when I saw him. We've been in an almost entirely long distance relationship for nearly three years and I have never been so thankful to see him, even if it was just for one day. I feel like I can make it through the week now. I'm really hoping to get some letters from some of you. I need all the motivation I can get! My address is in a previous post.

Alrighty, I'm off to bed. I hope tomorrow morning's bagel isn't moldy (true. story.)
