Almost time

In 1 1/2 hours, the alarm will go off. It will be 4am. I have been awake for 20 hours straight. No naps. I fear missing the alarm or turning it off and going back to bed and so I stay awake.

It's been a long week work-wise and it's only Wednesday. The kids are there physically, but they checked out mentally some time last week. I left a whole bunch of activities for my classes to do for the next two days. I hope it was enough. It's hard to plan stuff for your class to complete when you don't know who's going to be in there with them. Since we don't ahve money for subs, they pull school aides into the classroom. There are three I trust to make sure my kids don't go ballistic; the others need watching themselves. BUT, I'm not going to worry about it. I got all my work done for the week.

I'm excited for our trip. I've never been to Arizona. Of course, the main reason behind this visit is to see Dominic graduate from college. The last of the grandchildren. The baby. All grown up. With a job in his back pocket. I only dread the long plane rides and the layovers. Wish I could afford a freakin' lear........
