Its taking a little while to adjust to the teacher schedule. For the last few days I have had the slightest nagging feeling that I should be at work, or at least have a good reason not to be there. Just not quite used to having days off for fun. But dont you worry about me, I am sure I will adjust.
Before we move on, let me tell you about my new favorite lip product. Sure, its pricey, and yes, I needed to charge my phone but focus-this stuff is worth the money. Highly recommend. The people who gave it 4 stars dont know what they are talking about.
On our first day off, we went to the aquarium. Lovely time in the new frog exhibit. We learned the difference between toads and frogs and oohed and aaaahed at the specimens.
We steered a shrimp boat, rode a slide, touched some marine invertebrates.
In general we had a really good time. The aquarium was not crowded, thankfully, so we could walk and see and explore without masses of people blocking our way. With a little more freedom to move I noticed a very endearing thing my boys did instictively. It seems Mrs Marisela at their school has done a nice job teaching them to line up and walk with hands behind their backs because they automatically did it when we lined up on the moving sidewalk through the aquarium tunnel. Order, people, we need order!
We rounded out the evening with my college roommate and her family visiting for dinner. I had help with my appetizer making. The tomatoes for the goat cheese and crackers were seasoned perfectly!
We've also hit the library, where the books are almost of as much interest as the kiddie computer kiosks.
And this book almost made it home with me, until I remembered I gained 10 lbs since broken ankle and bread was not going to help me take it off. Damn you, ankle!
And last thing for today, our tree this year. The glow makes me so happy.
