INSUFFICIENT FUNDS = FALL BREAK

UEA used to mean something in Utah for students and teachers. It was a time when kids gleefully played outside for two days before the weather turned cold and teachers sat in conferences. Thank the good karma in the world that UEA no longer exists and we do a little thing called fall break. This is the only time that the lack of funding has improved my life. There is no money to put together teacher conferences so we just get the days off. Let me show you what teachers like myself do with time off:
  • breakfast at Kneaders with Allison
  • shopping
  • hang out with cute babies
  • lunch with family
  • stay up late
  • sleep in
  • Temple
  • watch TV and/or movies
  • learn to make cake pops
  • nap
  • make playlists on iTunes
  • stay in pajamas past noon
  • internet
  • dance you ace off to Michael Jackson
  • think about Grammy
  • think about Patrick Swayze
  • organize things
  • clean things
  • laundry
  • eat. a lot.
Thank you funding. I am glad you went away. I needed a "vacation from my problems."

Sounds divine. I'd like a vacation from my problems, too. Unfortunately, neither money nor the lack of it gives me a break from my loving children or hugely stressful calling!
