I feel a little more grounded this morning, while I did not get the ordering done I had planned, I did get a main list of things to do started....

Hello I am the Mad-Artteacher and I am obsessively blogging
about my trip to Italy! :) In case I have a new blog reader?? Anyway, after a nice long talk with my always calming little seester Rose, we have a plan of attack for what we are taking along. I really do feel a lot better about every thing.
Other than that, I - sort of against my better judgement- went for another kayak in the morning. I say that because my hand and arm is a bit sore today. I have a little issue with a carpal tunnel sort of thing, and for the first 45 min. I had to stop occasionally to let my hand stop tingling. However,
I was lured by the water and the wildlife and the sky and the warmth further and further downstream until I decided to turn around when I got about as far as I originally planned. After a very cool spring, the sun was just such an amazing thing to feel on my face.

I previously wrote that I had some issues with the pictures I took on my Saturday kayak, and so I partially auto and partially manual for this trip. And I ended up with some pretty decent shots! There was literally no one on the water all morning, except for the flying or four-legged kind. It was exhilarating and meditative all at the same time.

LOVELY morning |
Other than that the MA and I did some gardening things and I did a lot of rearranging and repotting of plant life and things like that. And again, against my better judgement, I did some weeding and my hand is not happy with me this morning. But it does make the flower gardens look better, and I will persist a half hour at a time.

Hello little bug |
So, there is 8.5 days left at school and I need to start getting my rooms cleaned. And I need to get my grading done. This is the last week of school for the seniors and I am not sure they will accomplish much. They will clean their untidy little areas of my room, and I will get back all of their art work, and finish off their final grades- hopefully tomorrow. Today is my last Monday! WOW, and Friday is the last regular Friday, so this is big stuff. Any one out there want to help straighten up an art room or 3??
I better get off of here and get ready for school. I will be wishing my Monday children a happy farewell today, and I will get leg hugs and love you from a whole lot of little kiddos and that definitely will give me joy.
*I will be including a link to some art in Italy every day. :) It isn't hard to find.
