It’s a Good Tired…

Oh boy, a “good” tired, what’s a “bad” tired? As soon as I say it or think it, the answer pops into my head. A bad tired is a tired I get from laying around all day and not doing a thing! A good tired is today. I had a super busy past couple of days. Everything on my list was done. Friday night I tried to run around and get a few things done before me and the hubby took off to the beach for the weekend. Yes, in January, on the east coast. Something about the beach in the wintertime, no tourists, no parking fees, ha! No sun, no warm, no restaurants open… no lines! It’s just a different way to deal, it’s still awesome.

We did get to see something I’ve never seen before, and quite frankly I think I would do it myself if I was in better shape. We witnessed a Polar Bear Plunge! For those of you who don’t know what that is, it’s when a bunch of crazy people put their bathing suits on and go into the ocean during freezing temperatures. Some are for charity but I wouldn’t know for sure unless I signed up, which I think I want too actually. I’ve seen videos of Alaskan children playing in the snow in their underwear to “build up their tolerance” I think, but it’s done. If teaching in North Philadelphia for 18 years hasn’t built up my tolerance, I am thinking a Polar Bear Plunge might. Anywho, after the fun and relaxation this weekend, I had off yesterday to celebrate MLK Day, a respected man whom I feel, definitely left too soon for this world. Boy did I get things done! I know you don’t want to know my list but believe me, I did a lot of chores and checked off many things. After returning to school today with another list of things to do for the kids and administration, I am super tired. It’s a good tired. I’m allowed to go to bed at 9:00 tonight, right after I finish packing my lunch and picking out something to wear tomorrow.

Have a good night everyone, here’s to a good tired tomorrow, too.
