2 days at home

I got sick again. I'm not getting enough sleep. I did the unthinkable (in my sleepy eyes). I took 2 days off work and let a sub deal with my spring-break-starved students. I slept, graded, watched movies, let Evan make soup for me, and just rested. It was nice. Two more days. Then I can break loose-- begin a cleaning frenzy, visit art museums, go to the zoo, arrange play dates for Annie, read books for me....and eventually start planning for next quarter.

Highlight of my week: Grete let me read her essay on Sister Sponsa. It was beautiful. It was so exciting reading an essay not riddled with errors or devoid of a main point. It was so nice to just let her words soak in.

I want to write an essay! Maybe I'll do that over spring break, too.
