Falling into place

Well...most things in my life are "falling into place" right now. All except my professional life. Everything at school is topsy-turvy...trying to teach my kids, while figuring out what to do with Mitchell's students while he is out is driving me CRAZY. I suppose that's being a little over-dramatic. I'm taking it all in stride because it is the only option I have. Well, "freak out" would be another option, but I'd rather not do that to my co-workers, so for the next few weeks I'll just have to deal with it. After talking to his students, I feel like they're pretty prepared for the test, so all I should have to do is give them a few AP tests for last minute practice and discuss essay writing? Sure. That sounds like a plan.

The parts of my life that ARE falling into place?
My workout routine.
ZUMBA! My day really doesn't feel complete unless I take at least one class at ABJ. I have never enjoyed exercising as much as I enjoy these classes. Once I was able to push past the hard work and focus on the fun of zumba-ing, I really fell in love these classes.

The house.
Our house is really feeling like a home now. It has that "lived in" feel, and I love it.

My daily routine.
...life with Chase and Leroy, that is. It's so comfortable. I wake up in the morning, feed our little guy, get ready and leave for work, spend the day teaching, zumba at 5:00, make and eat dinner (then reheat it for Chase when he calls to tell me he's on his way home from work), watch our daily shows that I DVR while he's at work so we can watch them together, and sleep. I know...it's not ideal, but it works for us right now. Thing will get better soon, but right now, we make the best of the little we get to see each other (and I'm enjoying the routine).

The wedding.
Dress? check. Wedding shoes (ahem...boots :P)? check. Maid of Honor said "yes"? check. All bridesmaids have accepted? check. Groomsmen are all lined up? check. Booked the church? check. ...and reception venue? check. "Save the Date" is designed? check. DVR full of SYTTD and MFWw/DT? check.
Seriously...every time my mom throws another "to do" at me, it seems like it's far too simple of a task. Isn't wedding planning supposed to be stressful? Why am I not freaking out? ...should I be? I guess we'll see.


Because of the overwhelming attitude-difference between my personal and professional lives...I've decided to leave all stress associated with school AT SCHOOL this weekend. I'd like to enjoy my Easter break, so I'm not taking it home with me this weekend. I'm going to let the after-work-Callie's positive-ness pour over into the 8-4-Callie's attitude...and LET LOOSE this weekend :)
