Blogger seems to be running at the same speed I am today -- slow. After staying up late to watch fireworks last night, and being duly impressed by the neighbors who had to have hired a Hollywood pyrotechnician to conduct their display, and drinking many beers, and eating way too much food (especially can't get enough of the rhubarb cake!), I was slow to rise this morning. The dog was also tired this morning (he did far more running in an afternoon yesterday than I do in a week, but it's not that often that he gets to run wild in someone's backyard with six other dogs), and he didn't even get up when I left for work.
The husband got to sleep in a little longer today since he didn't have a classroom full of students waiting for him at work. Bastard.
My students had just about as much enthusiasm as I did this morning, and it certainly reaffirmed my belief that the day after the fourth should be the national holiday -- that's when we really need it! (Then, and on November 1st -- I need the day after Halloween off.) But since I took yesterday off of running, that means today is the day to hit the pavement and get back on track; it's not a holiday any longer.
I'll hold off on the run until this evening when the sun sets, and until then, I might need a little nappy nap.

It truly was a display of pure American wastefulness but I won't bawk at it-bring it on, blow up some more $! I will say ooohhhh, ahhhh, yeah...to each beautiful burst.
You are better than I at the back to workout thing. I decided tomorrow is the day to start at it again. Maybe I will have that one last piece of rhubarb cake in your honor!
I had to go to school on the day BEFORE and AFTER the 4th. It was hard to get up this AM to do anything. I feel sorry for the teachers who have to work the next day.
Hope your run is good.
From a teacher's standpoint, I do agree with holidays the day after Halloween and the 4th...maybe Valentine's Day as well? Too much candy there...especially at the elementary level!
