Ahh, the end of a vacation... and a sobering week ahead

Is the Sunday at the end of a vacation week still vacation? Or is it the start of the new week, launching you into the usualness of daily routine? Either way, mine is a rainy/cloudy/damp one, after a night of rain and wind. After church, I'll make breakfast, then wade into the bread-making/ cookie-creating that is on my personal to-do list. I'll clean bathrooms, too-- why not start the new week fresh? 

We have a topsy-turvy week ahead at school-- a fatal car crash re-enactment scheduled for Wednesday morning, to be followed the next full day with the mock funeral and trial. I'm uneasy about all of this, and not just because I need the class time with my seniors. I am uncomfortable with seeing even a re-enactment of dead students. I know that it is to educate through shock-- but as one of the responsible adults who are along for this particular experience, I don't like it. I am really not happy about it, and I suspect it'll really color my week. Hell, it already is coloring my week. 

There are also three ballgames scheduled, and it's supposed to be a rainy/drizzly week, so we'll see if they hold, and if they do, just how sodden the kids' spirits will be between the "crash" and the rain. 

But today, I have some flexible time left to me, and I intend to bake and watch baseball, and hope that the Bruins don't eliminate themselves. 

Have a restful day,
