The countdown is on! In less than 10 minutes, I will be headed out of town for my relaxing and rejuvenating weekend with my spouse, and yes, it will be childless. After two weeks of assessing 17 kindergarten students' knowledge of the abc's and 123's, and after a 13 hour day yesterday filled with students anticipating a 3 day weekend and 15 parent/teacher conferences, I can officially say I'm ready for some down time. My agenda for this weekend includes:
-sleeping in
-sleeping in a bed with no small arms, legs, heads, or other interesting body parts touching any of my body parts (unless you include Al, and I might actually welcome that this weekend:)
-eating out and getting to enjoy my entire meal without taking anyone to the bathroom, sharing my food or drink, or becoming a personal entertainer to help distract impatient kids as they wait for their food
-sitting at the winery, sipping a glass of my favorite Montelle wine, Himmelswien, and watching the leaves change from green to vibrant reds, yellows, and oranges
-talking with my husband about something other than dance class, work, fundraisers, etc.
-putting some energy into my marriage, because it often seems that is the area that gets the least amount of attention (thank God for Al's patience - I am extremely obsessed with all that I do and am involved with, and he often gets put on the back burner)
So, thank you Neenaw and Papa for keeping the kids this weekend. I do miss them dearly, but I need this.
Mrs. Metzger? No. Mom? Not today. Just Jill... and I can't wait!
