I Need Some Flowers

I haven't been in the best of moods today.  I think others have noticed they just don't do much about it other than asking me if I'm tired or if I'm ok...I'll give you a hint, you're asking the wrong questions.  I'll answer your questions quite truthfully and unless I'm about to die or have any broken bones, I always know that I'm ok so that's what I'll tell you.  But really, overall, I'm ok, just in a not so good mood.

I was just reading my cousin's blog about her staying inside because of the weather.  I agree with her, I'm done with all of the ice, snow and COLD.  Once I get home from work, I generally stay home so all errands must be done before I reach my house because I'm not going back outside.  My cousin also mentioned finding her own sunshine with bouquets of flowers and baking.  I've got the baking down, now I just need some flowers and someone to feed because baking produces a lot of food.

The good news is that I will be with a group of friends the next couple of days at a teacher workshop/retreat/thingy.  I've left my student teacher to fend for herself (she can do it, she's pretty good) and I'm shirking all/most responsibilities for a little bit.  I'll have some good conversations, both education-based and not so education-based.  I've found that I've enjoyed my getaways lately, it's like a little reset button.
