SABC here we come!

This Friday we (the OEFC women) are heading down to SABC to transform it into a 2-day trip around the world. This year's annual women's retreat features "Relationships: Across the room and around the world"! I am so looking forward to this time of laughter, fun, fellowship and worship to the one true God, together with women from all across Alberta. OEFC women have put a lot of thought and effort into making this retreat just that, a retreat. Retreating from the everyday life and entering into a 'special' weekend that is different than the rest. With some rock'in door prizes. Let's leave behind our dishes, dirty clothes and dusty bookshelves and head towards God's open 'brown' land. I can already feel myself climbing to the top of the SABC hill with it's symbol of salvation (cross) upon it. Well, until my return then..."keep fit and have fun". (Don't know why that came out of me?)

Exhausted

Report card week is not fun at all. Not that I expected it to be fun...but marking, commenting, evaluating, goal setting...the idea of it is fun (or was). It's a wee bit overwhelming for the first go around. I feel that I've learned so much this year, and the year is not over yet. I'm already looking forward to doing some things differently next school year. And, I'm trying to implement the things I've learned as I go along this year (which has been difficult since those kids are set in their ways, they’re like old people).

How much can a brain hold before it backflows? Some days I think it's already happening to me. My students laugh as I say one word and mean another. My brain is going faster (or slower) than my tongue, well that's my excuse anyway.

Honestly, just writing this post is exhausting and it's only 8:30pm (regular bed time is 10:00pm, the lights just go out, ha!). This bed time is only beat by my 'pregnant' sister Jen, who goes to be at 9:00pm. Yup, the Pinch family is growing by one. Love it!

Okay, I have a small stack of marking yet so...happy blog surfing.
