I was up early and had plenty of time to take Balt for a nice long walk this morning before going to school. I didn't have kids all morning long, so I had plenty of time for last minute clean up and organizing. On my way to the office around 10am my fitbit bracelette buzzed. I hit 10,000 steps that early! Being at work, means I'm walking around a lot more, I guess.
I took a class photo of the freshmen right before lunch. The class is humungus! Of over 500, there were about 8 obnoxious kids, not bad. I'm dissappointed that the edge of my images are blurry with the wide angle lens I used. Funny though, it's blurry where the obnoxious kids were, so maybe it was them?
Throughout the day I got messages from all three girls-- texts, snapchats and facebook messages. Erika was shopping with her grandmother, so I got a bunch of images of shoes she wanted. Monika sent me pictures of her first day. I was able to grab this snap but missed a really good one of her eating breakfast. With snapchat, you have to be coordinated and fast to steal photos to keep.
I only had freshmen in the last 3 classes of my day. I didn't have any in back yard but didn't realize it until I got to my class realized there were no kids coming. Below I've embedded the freshmen JMM News episode that only the freshman backyards got to see. At the end of the news show is a video that was made for our school website. Monika's in there, since the editor used many of the same scenes from the senior video. Watching it, still brings me to tears. I'm not sure why there is so much emotion in there for me. (Monika is at 6:31 and there's a glimpse of me in the background at 8:08).
At the end of the day I was too tired to get much done. I sat around for a bit to watch Josh and Grace working diligently-- oh, to be young! I went home, grabbed Balt and went to the post office and to the dog park. I got home hungry and made stri fry for dinner, trying to make sure to only make half as much as I usually do for when I make dinner for Monika and I. I finished it all and was a bit too stuffed to do much after.
At 7pm, I sat wondering what to do with myself, home alone in a clean house. I should get back to art making, I could prep classes, or write but I decided to work on a t-shirt design for the newspaper/yearbook kids since I had made one for the juniors yesterday. I watched an episode of Downton Abby as well. I need to figure out a way to get a workout in late in the day before dinner without dying of hunger... bigger lunch maybe.
