A Sneak Peek at my Bleak Week

Being a teacher means Christmas break. Okay, it means other things, but that is one of the main perks us teachers focus on and count down to starting in August. We get two weeks off in December around Christmas. By this point in the school year it might be considered a mental, physical, and emotional necessity to have this break because we need a break from the kids, and the kids need a break from us. Anyway, last week was jam-packed with all kinds of stuff. There was something going on almost every waking minute and then Christmas came and went and now I am BORED out of my mind. My sister and nieces are still in Texas, my friends that don't teach have gone back to work, there are no goodies to bake, no shopping to be done, nothing... So, out of sheer boredom, I have done the following so far this week:

1. Slept... alot
2. Googled random things
3. Watched youtube videos
4. Watched Lifetime movies
5. Updated my blog to talk about how bored I am
6. Checked my email 5,183 times
7. Checked facebook 5,184 times
8. Checked weather.com to see what was going on outside
9. Made a list of all the things I want to do before I turn 30 in August
10. Researched the things on my list
11. Played Solitaire online
12. Played Scrabble online because I got tired of Solitaire
13. Read some
14. Watched some sermons online
15. Drank coffee until I realized I was starting to get a little twitchy, so I switched to Diet Coke
16. Read people's blogs
17. Downloaded pictures onto facebook
18. Checked a gazillion times to see if anyone had left comments on the above mentioned pictures
19. Texted people to tell them how bored I was
20. Shopped (everywhere) for something to wear on New Year's Eve
21. Cut my cat's claws
22. Baked banana nut bread
23. Made a list of all the things I should be doing with my time, such as getting my oil changed, cleaning my house, taking down Christmas decorations, etc.
24. Came up with excuses why I haven't checked a single thing off my to-do list
25. Updated my Amazon wishlist

Well, now I am off to bed... again. Gotta rest up for my busy day of absolutely nothing.
