Yesterday and Tomorrow

Yesterday, my kids, Julia, her kids, and I went to the Ludwigsburg Palace (Yes people it's a palace not a castle) and had a genuinely good time. The children were VERY well behaved and the tour guide even complimented them on their behavior after everything was said and done. They were beaming from the kudos. Those of you know Maddy, know this to be true :) When I went many years ago, we were too late for the Enlish tour and were too new to understand even basic German. It was VERY interesting to me this time.

Today, I did a whole lot of nothing. Really that's not true because I cleaned, did laundry and took care of Maddy who wasn't feeling all that hot. She is feeling a bit better now though. Truthfully, I think she was just a bit worn out from yesterday.

Tomorrow, Back To School--Teacher's first day back is tomorrow! I am excited to help Melissa set up the classroom and begin lesson planning. I am excited to see the light at the end of my NEVER ENDING educational saga. I am so excited and not at all nervous! That is probably due to the fact that I have been a substitute at RB Elementary for two years and a parent to students there for over five. I think it may also be the fact that I really like Mrs. Taylor and I hope to learn something from her having been a teacher in California. Here's to a good first day.
