Is it really only September?

For those of you who are teachers, you know what I'm talking about! I can't believe we have only been in school for five weeks. It feels like it should at LEAST be March or April!!!! I haven't posted in a while because I have honestly been too tired to think of something remotely interesting to say. Last week my air conditioning in my classroom went out and it was miserable. At one point one of my little boys asked, "Mrs. Maz, may I stick my head out the window to cool off?" Finally, (after several parents made phone calls to the right people) we got our air fixed on Friday. Needless to say, it was a very trying week at work. We ended the week by having our friends, Batina and Chris, come over for dinner. As usual, Batina and I were left to entertain ourselves as our husbands played the new Tiger Woods game on the PS3. How sad is that? Mark is 30 and Chris is 25!!! On Saturday I decided to skip out on the game. Mark left around noon and I literally stayed in my pajamas ALL DAY!!!! I watched Lifetime and AMC like it was my job!!! And loved it!!! This week has been much better at school. However, I sent progress reports home today, so that previous statement may change. In my Beth Moore bible study, she talks about how we as women try too hard to be Domestic Goddesses AND Employee of the Week. There comes a point when it is just too overwhelming. You have to stop and DECIDE to choose joy. So I'm going to try to start each day with that mentality. I'm going to CHOOSE JOY!!! I may not feel it but God has appropriated it, so I'm going to choose it! I hope this might help someone like myself, get through the rest of the week. I hope y'all have a great one!! Oh, I've been wondering something. I've become a horrible blog stalker. At first, I would only look at the blogs of people I know, then I got bored and clicked on some random's blog. Ok, here's the question, should I leave a comment on their blog, or forever remain a silent blog stalker? I really don't know the "blog etiquette." Just wondering. :) Oh, and did anyone see Britney Spears' performance on the VMAs? No, I don't watch MTV, but I definitely watch YouTube and I also love some PerezHilton. Thoughts anyone? SaraBeth? Whitney?
