I have felt a little heavy lately. Not weight wise. That has been pretty stable for a while, thankfully, but heavy in thought. I have been SO busy starting a new year at work, so mindful of making the changes and adaptation to be successful at a new grade level. Then there has been all the media lately about teaching, and my recent firing off about tenure. It may have come out on Sunday, but the thoughts have been rolling around in my head for a while.

Tonight, it was such fun just to have some mindless banter with some friends on Facebook...about life, school, our kids, pets, wine, and a new Pink song, "Raise Your Glass," of all titles!

Lines like...

"WHY SO SERIOUS?"
"What part of party don't you understand?"
"So raise your glass if you are wrong, in all the right ways!"
"Oh shit...my glass is empty. That SUCKS!"

and perhaps my favorite...
"So if you're too school for cool"

Yeah, somedays I get too school for cool...too wrapped up in school, work, life, to relax and be good to ME. So tonight, no more thinking, no more papers being graded, no more dishes to wash, and the kids can pack their own lunches. Couch, warm blanket, here I come! And I'd raise a glass too, Pink, but I'm so tired I am pretty sure I'd fall asleep instantly! Maybe tomorrow!
