I do some other dorky things when I'm homesick too...like make a countdown to the end of school where I can mark off each day as we get closer. School hasn't even started for the year and I'm already counting down. That's probably not a good thing. But, as of today there are only 304 days until the summer vacation of 2012. ONLY... On my little countdown I even mark when all of the vacation days are happening. It's a nice visualization. I made a similar countdown last year and used it for like the first week and then got back to a hectic schedule and forgot about it, so I sure hope it works out like that again this year. It makes me feel a little better for the moment anyway.
Another dorky thing I did was made a little "vacation bank" so Landon and I can start saving our money for our first actual summer vacation. I figure that I will more likely actually stick to my savings plan if I don't see the money sitting in my checking account all of the time. I'm not a saver of anything by nature, so this is a new thing for me! :) That little activity gave me something different to focus on for awhile as well.
This morning I met with a friend to talk about things that I missed at the Association yearly planning retreat this summer and then Landon and I went back to my classroom. Landon was a little less helpful today, but I was still able to get things set up pretty much where I want them to be, and I finished organizing/going through the closet. Landon took an hour nap in the middle of our work session. I haven't moved my beanbags or anything comfortable into my classroom yet, so he took a super comfortable nap on a piece of butcher paper laid out on the floor. HA HA. This kid can sleep ANYWHERE!
Afterwards, we ran to Safeway for some milk and fruit. I had to buy some chocolate milk because Landon ran out, and grandma got him hooked this summer. :) We decided to eat pizza for dinner, and we are currently in a middle of a marathon of Dora, Max & Ruby, Little Bill, and Blue's Clues. (The same five episodes over & over & over. He only has these cartoons on one dvd, and I guess he really missed watching it during the last two months!) It's going to be a long night...
