Nothing New or Exciting, but Here's Something Anyway

So I blogged before about wanting a new bookcase because my little one was overflowing. Mom suggested that I look on Craig's List (thanks Mom) and I found one instantly. It is the same style as my small one just 4x bigger. I put it in the same place as my smaller one. It fits perfectly. I've still got some room to grow, but it's getting full already. I brought a bunch of books home from my classroom library that I want to keep. I've got probably 300 books at school that are in decent shape that I will sort through one more time and then give the rest to another teacher. Books get pretty trashed after being read over and over through the years.

I have to say that I am very happy about my decision to quit teaching in August. I can hardly wait until my last day. Work has been stressful with our big state test coming up and the overkill on test prep we are required to do. Stress and several sick kids in my class has helped me acquire a nasty cough and what is most likely a sinus infection. I'm trying to beat it on my own, and hopefully now that it's Spring Break I can take it easy and get better. I was in desperate need of a break. Luckily I made it through the week in one piece. I am especially looking forward to my track break in May because I will be done with testing for the year, 2nd trimester report cards will be done and I can kick back and relax for almost a month.

This blog is mostly about me since I'm writing it, but that is quite self-centered of me since I am married. Eddie is taking a few weeks off of work due to a back injury. He has a stress fracture and compressed vertebrae (or something) that has been aggravating him for a month. He is going to the chiropractor several times a week and icing it daily. Wearing his belt and sitting in his car all day at work was making it worse so he's home, and I've been seeing a lot of him. He has been working on a little "project", which I will tell everyone more about it anything comes of it. Ha ha, nothing like a little teaser.
