This is not simple; it is enormous, huge, gigantic! A week off of school is exactly what I need right now! And I know a lot of other teachers/students who would agree. One week away from the classroom; away from kids saying they didn't do their homework; away from hearing "Hey, Miss;" away from bells, fluorescent lights, and 25-minute lunch breaks; one week AWAY!
This Spring Break my dad and I are traveling to Surprise, Arizona to watch the Rangers' spring training. I'm excited about being somewhere that is warm and sunny! And about being up-close to the players, having lots of time to hang out, getting some reading done, and exploring Phoenix. My husband's jealous that he can't come with us, but that's the life of a baseball coach...you don't get Spring Break or Easter off. I hope all of you who are gearing up for your week of vacation enjoy a relaxing one, and those of you who don't get a week off, have you considered teaching as a profession? I might blog from the road if I find an internet cafe, or I'll write about it when we get back. I'm considering making a shirt that says "Mench's Mamas" and getting my picture taken with him.
