Slice of Life Day 25: Spring Break Hurry Up!!

Six days until Spring Break! I am so emotionally ready for this break. Being a district coach for a district with thirty-three elementary schools, is an amazing job. Still, it can be a bit overwhelming at times and these are the times! I am ready for the break, and yet I am not ready.

A week from today we are going to be flying out to Arizona. I am excited to see that land of the sun again. We have all kinds of things planned to do and see. We are staying in Tempe at a hotel where we have been before. We love this place because it is within walking distance of ASU. We walk the campus every day and hit the local stores. But we have other destinations in the area planned to visit also. So, in that way...I am ready.

The problem is: I am not ready physically.  Oh, I am ready for the walks.  I am ready to climb those mountains. I am ready to hike to the nearby stores. BUT, I am not ready as in packed, cleaned, or gotten Dave, our golden retriever, ready. I have so much to do, all with a week of teaching/coaching to do. Every night this week I have an appointment or assignment to do.

Dave does have his doggy-sitter ready to go. She is amazing and more than ready to spend the week with him. I do have new luggage to pack. I still have to figure out what I am going to wear, what to take to read, what exactly am I going to take with me? 

Still, I am VERY ready to get to that warm weather and relaxing atmosphere. Ok, Spring Break, let's hurry and get here!

    I am also 6 days from Break and I am more than ready, but yet not at all ready just as you described.

    33 schools?!?!? I traveled between 18 and was exhausted and energized all at the same time. I can't even imagine how great your job must be! As well as how ready for spring break you must be!! :) Good luck getting through these last days...

    Spring break is around the corner. You will make it! Just plan a little packing every night and before you know it, you'll be packed. Sounds like a great plan for a get away. I need one of those!

    I have a friend who does laundry when she gets to her destination. What ever works for you!--but 33 schools is crazy!
