I took a personal day today. I slept in, got up, showered, packed, and came to IHOP-KC. Right now I'm sitting in the Prayer Room enjoying myself. In the district where I teach we're allowed one day off from school that isn't planned or scheduled. Typically I take it in the fall for a conference weekend here at IHOP. But, that didn't happen. Last week I received word that we had to use our days by May 1 or they are rolled over into sick days for the following year. That wouldn't be a bad gig, more sick days, but I have to admit, I was in need of a break.
With all the snow days, this year has been weird. And, I have learned this year how much kids crave structure. One day off here, back in school there, with weather changes daily, this year has built my character. I'm glad we're down to 9 weeks. It will probably feel like a long nine weeks...so I took my day.
I also remembered that I had Reward Points saved up for free hotel nights. Thanks to my proud sponsorship of this hotel, I have saved enough points for 2 free nights. So, I am using them this weekend. Granted, it has taken me about 2.5 years to save up enough points, but I don't care. I need a retreat away from life.
So, here I sit. Yes, I was just here last Saturday, but it feels great to be back.
I can't wait to see what's going to happen this weekend.
It's going to be great.
I'm in denial of the fact my kids were probably a handful today and I'll probably have some kids to kick back into shape on Monday. hehehe
:-) Later!
