I haven't been blogging much because the reality of it is the life of a teacher isn't all that interesting during the summer, but I really hate when bloggers go on and on about how they have nothing interesting to blog about. Life isn't always interesting, this blog is about my life. Enough said. So I figured I would give you a small peek into my everyday reality...
So I generally don't wake up until 9...or 10...or 11. I find it crazy when people tell me they just wake up at 7 everyday no matter if there is work or not. I generally don't trust people who don't enjoy sleeping...
I start my morning routine: warm lemon water, spark and then my morning smoothie, while I spend an hour or so checking facebook, instagram and a few dozen blogs. Priorities people.
I then make my to do list for the day:
And it generally looks about as blank as the image above.
I then check my bank account, you know to see if I can possible go shopping or have happy hour...or just leave the house. But reality is...
I then check my work email to see if we, teachers, have a set salary for this school year. You know to really get a feel of if I should start staking out corners or not this fall...
I have been dabbling in a little graphic design for fun so to put off thoughts of heels and corners I generally play around on picmonkey for the next hour or so. I generally try to put on the shittiest of reality television just to make sure I have something to talk to the mister about later. Because he cares...
I then spend an hour or so working out in my little tv room, I love hooking up my computer to the tv and running through two or three different workout routines from youtube.
Then I spend an hour or so hanging out at the pool. I of course take a few of standard pool selfies just to prove my summer is better than yours.
I generally lose the three or four hours between the pool and when I cuddle up on the couch with the mister and start drinking boozy drinks, I really don't know exactly what I do besides cook, eat and repeat.
We basically watch television, drink boozy drinks and catch up on our days. So I basically feel him in on reality tv, the coming and goings of the pool and perhaps how many ounces of water I drank today. Riveting stuff guys.
And then basically I repeat the whole routine the next day.
Don't get me wrong I feel very privileged to get to be able to take six weeks off from work but the reality is I am not jetting across the country - insert broke - hanging out at the pool with girlfriends - insert they work - or doing anything educational. Unless you count analyzing the life's of reality TV 'stars'...
And there you have it, the life of a teacher during summer.
