Busy days make me tired

I have been lazy in posting, mostly because I have collapsed into bed each night and not remembered till the next morning that I did not post. And at that time, I am usually driving and can't do anything about it! So although my goal was not to do this, I am gonna combine a few days into one post.

Sunday: during the day, I helped Corey finish his ice shanty. We endeded up having more work to do than we thought. In a way, I am thankful for the island life. When we weren't sure about our finish time, I was able to text message the airplane pilots wife and see about a later flight. Only on PIB are plane flights that easy to schedule!! She was able to bump us back 30 min and we had just enough time to pack and relax before heading home! 

Monday: made it through a school day pretty uneventfully. I feel like in order to point out a happy/thankful moment I need to explain that I really dislike lunch duty first. Now, this is not about the complaint, I recognize it's something I can't change, but I hate the loudness, the unstructured environment. On the plus side, I deal with 6-8th graders so ours is maybe a little more controlled than others, but I feel we rule with iron fists in order to keep our sanity. So.... My thankful thought is yet again about my students. To be specific, my band students. Often times when lunch duty ends I am in an awful mood, but lately, 15 min later when my class strolls on, I an able to push away the bad mood! My students help me keep my sanity after I feel like I am losing my mind after the loud lunch duty. So thank you students for helping me!
