If I could have addressed my envelope that way, I would have. However, there is no way that I would do anything that could possibly alter the course of that small bubble-enveloped package. The box underneath is simply a return to Amazon, so don't focus on that. The envelope on top is what contains the good stuff- the stuff that I spent half of my life working on. That may be an exaggeration, but that's how I felt.
When handing it to the lady at the post office, it was difficult to determine if I wanted to throw it at her like a hot potato and run or have the grip of a snapping turtle when she went to take it from me. Regardless, I knew one thing had to happen. I had to document the event in photograph form:
When my husband saw this picture, he immediately began laughing. "Please tell me you didn't ask the post office desk worker to take your picture! I'm embarrassed for you right now."
Funny, I wasn't at all embarrassed. Maybe I should have been, but I was too excited. If I felt any embarrassment at all, I think it may have been when I giggled like a crazy person after this picture was taken. Even still, I'm not too terribly upset about it.
This event, which happened at precisely 3:25 PM Monday afternoon, genuinely set the tone for the rest of my week back at work. Strangely enough, the kids were seemed just as wild as the week before break, but I have not minded quite as much. The awesome part of this week is that I was able to spend even more of it in the library! I have assigned my 8th grade classes an art project that requires a computer per group. Ms. Allen offered for us to use the library's computers so we could also have print resources at our disposal. So far, the projects are off to a great start. Although I have done the project before, it has been much easier this time around because Ms. Allen is also there to guide the students. We are both excited to see some of their creations! Spending this time in the LMC also means that I am getting to spend an additional hour and 50 minutes in the library three times a week! Adding it to the time log as we speak...
