Mon/Wed: 5:30 wake up, leave house by 6:30, work at SHS 7am-3:30pm, go to soccer practice at BHS, home for dinner at 6pm, shower, work for a few more hours, then pass out around midnight.
Tues/Thurs (Gamedays): 5:30 wake up, leave house by 6:30, work at SHS 7am-5pm, meet Joe for dinner somewhere, arrive at soccer field by 6:15, game from 7:30-9:30, home by 10pm, shower, put in an hour or two of work, then pass out around midnight...
Fri: 5:30 wake up, leave house by 6:30, work at SHS 7am-3:30pm, go to soccer practice at BHS, home for dinner at 6pm, have a BEER or glass of wine w/ the hub, shower, and try to muster up enough energy for a little after dinner walk and stay awake through a movie rental.
Sat: "sleep in" (wake up around 7:30), grade papers, errands (grocery shopping, laundry, etc.), exercise, watch Beaver football game, more grading papers, and then attempt to have a social life at night
Sun: sleep in again, big breakfast, exercise, watch Seahawks game while trying to read ahead/plan lessons for the following week, and a little QT with Jonas and Jack because the next day it starts all over again...
Other examples of organized chaos:
-My 3rd and 6th period classes: they have a seating chart, a routine, and a lesson plan to follow, yet it still feels more like chaos and less like organized. I blame them. (haha, just joking, but seriously... )
-My soccer team: we may be 4-3, but sometimes when I look out there it looks like absolute madness
-My brain: not even gonna attempt to describe what's going on there...
-Our lives in general: just come take a look at our apartment and you'll know what I'm talking about
ANYWAY. There has been some breaks here and there. For example, we got to go to a Pearl Jam concert last week with some of our friends from the team (shout out to John and Dani!) That was super fun. We also have plans with our favorite fellow "Oregonians turned Washingtonians", John and Missi this Sunday for dinner. Looking forward to catching up and trying Tutta Bella :)
Well, should probably get going. Writing this post really set me off schedule for the rest of the day... I should be grading right now, not blogging. Here are a few pics (of course) and I'll be back to write more when the chaos subsides a little...
This is what I do on Saturday mornings: grade papers and drink coffee.
A little break from it all: Pearl Jam concert with some of our favorite Seattlites!
The Space Needle is super awesome looking at night... too bad I only had my crappy little point-and-shoot with me.
All week I look forward to our "after-dinner" walk on Friday night, which we did all summer long. The sunsets where we live are amazing. If you look closely you can see Seattle on the left and Bellevue on the right.
Same walk, different angle. These are the Olympics mountains, so pretty... I don't want summer/fall to ever end!
