This week, even though it's my last week here, I offered to watch a family of 3 kids, while their parents are away on vacation. I'm not sure what I was thinking. I still am teaching lessons, right up until I leave. I'm also supposed to be packing up the house, to be able to move back home on time. For teachers with children, I don't know how you do it. I got all of the kids in bed, and was working on my lesson plans, and got myself in bed at a decent time. Granted, I don't teach the whole day anymore, so I had less to work on than earlier in the semester. The night seemed to be fairly flawless. I must say, I was proud of myself.
2:15 am...The dogs started barking, and would not be quieted. Of course the door to the kids' room was wide open, and the dogs were running all through the house. One dog was sanctioned to the kennel, and the other came into the room with me so I could keep closer tabs on her. After being so rudely interrupted, I climbed back into bed to make another attempt at sleep.
3:30 am...It was just one of those nights that I was so nervous I wouldn't wake up to my alarm I guess. I woke up and started getting ready for school. I felt like an idiot when I saw the actual time on the clock on my phone. I was also glad, because it meant that I could go back to bed for two more hours.
