Today... first day back to work after a wonderful, lazy vacation. Made tea instead of coffee to save some time. Spilled the tea on my carpet before leaving the house. Checked with google to figure out how to clean the carpet before the stain set in. Tried all of the suggestions with no luck. Left for work (late) and found out there was a 5-car accident, which meant major traffic. Amazingly got to work on time after taking the back way. Realized I did not have my school keys.
Had a vision of changing my classroom around after watching a video by "The Creative Curriculum" this weekend. Ended up moving most everything around, which meant emptying out a huge metal cabinet with 5 shelves of toys, puzzles, paper goods, etc. and emptying out my entire file cabinet. Tripped over a lego container and fell hard right on my butt with my back hitting the table when trying to move a shelf (I am now sitting on an ice pack and need to fill out a 4 page accident report). Cut my finger (very deep paper cut) when grabbing files to put back in my file cabinet. Tore the skin off the side of my big toe when stepping on the end of a hanging file. Stayed at work til 6 pm, but finished the room!
Stopped in the bank and waited in a very long line after leaving work. Went to Best Buy and Circuit City to check out camera bags. Stopped at the health food store to grab dinner. Just got home a few minutes ago. Stain on my carpet was dark and ugly. Sprayed a spot remover on my carpet and am letting it soak. Ate my salad and then started this post.
I think I should have just stayed in bed!
As my friend said, just think, tomorrow could not be any worse. Now I need to go find my keys.

Today is also the end of two straight months of blogging. Jill wrote an excellent piece on this. I am stealing her words because I am too tired to think up my own:
For two months in a row, I blogged every day. I'm not really sure how I managed to accomplish that, but I did, and it's over. And so far, no one over at Slow Travel has laid down the gauntlet for April. Thank gawd.
I feel the same way. Thank you everyone for all of your comments. They definitely helped inspire me to keep on blogging. I plan to continue to blog, but just not daily.

Dropped by Slow Travel (haven't been there for a while which a great resource for my travel questions) and saw your blog -- can relate to shave ice and gelato!! Noticed a few similarities in your profile to me: from Massachusetts - I'm still here - may relocate to Hawaii, if I can't convince my SO to leave Hawaii (why would he?) and move to Boston. Grandparents were originally from Avellino, Italy. Have travelled quite frequently to Italy and Hawaii ...if not Hawaii, then Italy .. one day:) Was in the travel business in Hawaii for a brief time.
Have enjoyed stopping by - okay to visit? Your blog set up is quite inviting and easy to navigate. Mahalo, CB

Leslie, Chicciola, & Marta, thanks soooo much! I did have a better day today. My finger hurts more than my butt, so that is a good sign (I think). I finished the big move today (moving our teacher desks around). Because the drawers are now on the opposite side, I did some desk cleaning, switching some of the contents in my drawers around. Interesting what you find in your desk after many years! I filled an entire waste basket and now have lots of room and can find things :-)
CB, thanks so much for stopping by and commenting! I am glad you have been enjoying my blog. Wow, definitely a lot of similarities! Very small world indeed!! :-)
