Let Down

So today is day two of a being back to the grind after Phoenix. Phoenix......ahhhhhhh Phoenix. It was magical.
I am still having fun remembering the great friends that I made and the great fun that we had. It's just as hard to leave them as it is to leave family after an extended visit. You know....you walk around dazed and in a fog wondering why they had to go and hating the empty feeling having let them go. But then again you know that you'll see them again andall will be well and happy.
School has been stressful these last two days. I kind of had a feeling it would be after taking Friday off and then coming in on a Monday tired and jet lagged. The kids were wound up and eager to hear all about my vacation. I was happy to tell them about it and then used it as an opener to ask about their weekend. We all agreed mine was better. One of my students however; had a weekend that ran a close second.....JAIL! thats right, this kiddo decided to run from the police who had suspicion that he might be selling drugs and that landed his booty right in the local Juvenile Justice Center! Now for as much fun as I had....I can't compare to that experience. Crazy kid.
Tonight the jet lag has hit and I am extremely tired. I think its time for a nice warm bath, warm jammies and a warm bed. If I can catch up on some rest...the weekend that is approaching will be another busy one filled with non other than WIDOWS! Look out Philly.....we're about to descend on the Outback!!
