AISD rocks! Not really...

I'm resisting blogging today, and yesterday. Feeling a bit down what with having to go to this New Teacher training and all this week - ugh. Got up at 6:30 and took my coffee outside with Sam and Lucas to water the lawn. It's still crispy, but my plants are looking better! I hate St. Augustine grass. "Rich man's grass", I call it. I wish I could afford to have it all removed and have this japanese type grass that's all the rage right now because it's so drought tolerant put down. 

Yesterday I was going to do the two-hours-in-the-studio thing but it was so damn hot in the garage. I went out there to clean off my bench and got 1. overwhelmed with all the little scraps of silver that I could send off to have melted into a sheet, 2. overwhelmed  because I hadn't the slightest idea of what to make, 3. ended up dripping in sweat. So, to run away and torture myself even more, I went on line to all my jewelry sites I've saved in my bookmarks and looked at OTHER people's work, wishing I already had a website up and 15 designs to be allowed onto EtsyMetal. Then, later that evening, I went into this panic about getting old and how am I going to live if I quite my job as a teacher and not have a steady income so when I retire I'll be ok. Now here I am needing to get ready to be out the door in half an hour to go to a training to hear all about "The Principles of Teaching". Oh, what FUN!!!
