Kitty Induced Insomnia

Well, after about a 4 month hiatus, I think it's time to write a few words...

Lucy woke me up sometime between 2 and 3 this morning, wanting to play and making lots of noise.  Then she would come and nuzzle my face to get me to wake up.  Mission accomplished!  I realized I was wide awake, and figured it must be about 4:30 or 5... nope.  3am!!  I decided to get up anyway and have been cleaning the house, drinking tea, doing my lesson plans for next week... it's been a really nice morning!  Almost time to go get ready, but figured I could squeeze a quick blog post into my super productive morning. 

Oh, and my soundtrack to my insomnia morning?

I love it!!!!

 So... let's see what's been going on in my world...

• Tim has abandoned me.  He's been in San Francisco since Sunday and won't be home til Saturday.  Let's just say it's been a LONG week!
• Had Thanksgiving at our house with Tim's family this year - loved it!
• Tim has convinced me to get him an iPad for his birthday/Christmas (pooling our money and all his other birthday & Christmas money together)
• Saw HP, liked it... didn't love it... can't WAIT for the final movie though, I think it will be amazing
• Bought Eclipse - it was the highlight of last weekend.  :)
• Got the superintendent's "Super Teacher" award for "Integrating 21st Century Learning" in my classroom - woo hoo!
• Am headed to Oklahoma next weekend to see my bestie, and I can't waaaait!!
• Christmas in Tulsa/Tahlequah this year; I'm so excited to go home and see my family - I haven't been home since my birthday, which is just insane.
• 15 days til Christmas and I've only bought & wrapped ONE Christmas present.  I rock.
• Finally bought pretty pillows for our couch... and while this may not seem exciting, it was a HUGE deal.  The pillow search was getting a little out of hand

So... I think that's most of it!  I'm really looking forward to a relaxing Christmas break, and going home to see family and friends.  I could really use a break right now... I'm just feeling a little beat down lately.  I need to be refreshed.

Well, my alarm (you know, to wake me up?  because I should be sleeping right now??) just went off, so I'm off to go get ready.  First time all week I will have actually started getting ready when my alarm went off... instead of pressing snooze for 30 or 40 minutes!  (Bad habit I am blaming Tim for!)

Happy Friday!!
