If pictures could speak they would say... Clothes are easier to find when they are sprawled all over the floor.. Right?! Clean Dishes... who needs em' anyway! These last couple of week have been insane. Robert hadn't had a day off in over 2 weeks and I have been pretty much living in my classroom. I just keep telling myself that there is a time and a place for everything... and now is not the time for a clean house and lazy weekends. Good thing we love what we are doing.


Work
Work has been pretty exciting! This week I had some education celebrities visiting my classroom (Chancellor Klein and Eva Moskowitz). Since the movie "Waiting for Superman" (which EVERYONE should see) came out my school has been getting a lot of publicity. (If you go see it you will see my school, coworkers, and some of my students!) We went to a special viewing this week for Charter School teachers. We were greeted at the doors by our friends the AFT (Teacher's Union). They aren't very happy about this movie coming out. Reality hurts! The film made me rededicated to teaching and even more passionate about reform.

This weekend Robert finally had a much needed day off. He has been working so hard. I don't know how he does it. We enjoyed the beautiful weather and went on an ALL DAY bike ride. We rode up Riverside to Central Park, and back on Riverside down to South Ferry. Our buttocks are a little sore! Oh yeah, did I mention that I saw Leonardo Dicaprio riding his bike on Riverside. I made Robert chase him down with me! (I have been a huge fan of his since Titanic!)




We needed some calories so we stopped by Levaine Bakery. YUMMMMMMMMY!!!
Enjoying a little lunch while keeping an eye on our bikes. Those Huffy bikes go for a lot now days... NOT!

Great day! Now I am just waiting to get a gimps of my husband before it is time to go to bed! Night!
