So this week was back to work. SAD!! It actually has not been that bad, except that I am exhausted when I get home in the evening. But have no fear I am a master nap taker. (This is no joke it is one of my hidden talents.) So I get home around 4 take a nap for an hour or two (at least 90 minutes so I go through the REM sleep cycle at least once so I can have all the benefits of sleeping) and then I still have many hours to play before I go to bed at 10 or 11.
Soon enough I will be feeling much like this poem:
| I’m Staying Home from School Today | |

I’m staying home from school today.
I’d rather be in bed,
pretending that I have a pain
that’s pounding in my head.
I’ll say I have a stomachache.
I’ll claim I’ve got the flu.
I’ll shiver like I’m cold
and hold my breath until I’m blue.
I’ll fake a cough. I’ll fake a sneeze.
I’ll say my throat is sore.
If necessary, I can throw
a tantrum on the floor.
I’m sure I’ll get away with it.
Of that, there’s little doubt.
But even so, I really hope
my students don’t find out.

Unfortunately I have a conscience or I would skip school once in a while and do something like this.

You ARE a master nap taker. I like that quality in you. :) I love naps too. I hope this week goes as well as possible! At least labor day is around the corner?!
do you have to have a master's degree to become a master napper? right now i have neither, but a nap sounds so good.
Welcome back to 9 months of WORK! with a pay raise that you very much earned and desearve. Hope I see you soon.
I would love to play basketball with you guys two nights a week. I just might have to move to Utah to do so.
