Goodness, we're old!!

Okay, so we're not actually all that old... but I sure do feel like it! I knew to expect to be tired after the first week of being a teacher, but I didn't realize I would be quite THIS exhausted! My weekend has flown by just as quickly as the first week of school.

Friday night Derek and I went out for celebratory pizza at Johnny's for surviving our first week. We got home at 9:30 p.m. and went right to bed. Yup, we're old.

I woke up at 8:00 a.m. the next morning, did some cleaning, went to a meeting in Athens, and then drove down to Conyers to look at Derek's new classroom. (Peachtree Academy is opening up a new building so we were just able to see it yesterday.) Then we went to a Gwinnett Braves game for a Cedarville University Alumni Event for the Atlanta chapter. It was a good time!! We got rained on, but I had a funnel cake, so I was definitely happy!! Afterward we had two of the college girls working with the Alumni Association spend the night with us. It was really fun being able to have a home to open up to others! But we didn't get home until after midnight, and I was BEYOND tired!!! I kept reminding myself that I used to stay up past midnight all the time and that I'm still actually young. but man, after about 10:00 p.m. I sure don't feel like it!

This morning I woke up at 6:00 a.m. and played "Domestic Queen." I made homemade banana nut muffins and scrambled eggs for breakfast for us and the two wonderful girls that spent the night with us. I also made Derek's Grandma Johnson's recipe for chocolate chip oatmeal cookies to send with the Cedarville travelers. I got to bring out all of us fun dishes that we got for wedding presents and play with my tea set and everything. It was so much fun!! I can't wait to host someone else, so if you want to come visit Casa de Kreiders, please let us know!! :-)

Then we drove to Covington to decorate Derek's room for Open House (which started at 2:00 p.m.), and that was crazy. He doesn't have a teacher desk, the room hasn't been cleaned, and some of the walls aren't even painted all the way. Good thing Derek is much more flexible than I am because I don't even work there and it was stressing me out! but praise the Lord for providing Him with a good teaching job! So now I'm sitting in the local McDonald's (which luckily has free wi-fi) catching up on emails, blogs, and grading.

So I apologize for not really having the energy for an entertaining story, but at least you know what's going on in our lives for this weekend. Hopefully we'll eventually become young again after a few weeks of getting used to this mad schedule. Hope everyone else is doing well!
