401st post

It just came to my attention that this is the 401st post I'm making to my blog.  I don't know at this point if I've had a lot to say or if I've reached beyond my limit...  I would like to think I've had some epiphanies in that time but I don't know if I can say that with 100% certainty.  

This past week, my Mom, sister-in-law and I survived our first Aqua Zumba class and we're looking forward to heading back next week; at least I think we are.  When we got to the fitness center, we weren't exactly sure where we were going but we confidently went a direction we thought was right and we ended up finding our way.  After we changed into our swimsuits and took our "cleansing showers," we went into the pool area where we were instructed to pick up a set what looked to be barbells made out of pool noodles.  The pool water was warm, the music was fun and the barbells ended up being resistance training for part of the class.  We all ended up with some sore muscles but we laughed a lot so those are the things that are important.

Something else that I'm looking forward to is in a few weeks, I have the opportunity to take another dance fitness class from the person I took a class from a few weeks ago with gave us the phrase, "Do you."  I have invited my sister, my sister-in-law and my brother's long-time girlfriend to attend the class with me; so far, I know my sister-in-law and I have purchased tickets but I'm not sure about anyone else.  I think it's fun that my sister-in-law has decided to become adventurous with me; either that or she thinks I'm completely crazy and just wants to be there to see me crash and burn...  I'm definitely hoping it's because she's just wanting to be adventurous with me but I guess time will tell...

This past week at work once again left me with people calling out "sick" and me having to rearrange the daily schedule (sometimes more than once a day) in order to make sure all of the classrooms had coverage throughout the entire day.  There were a few times that I myself had to go into a room in order to make things work but we made it through another week.  On the plus side, one of my bus drivers is going to try to come into work this upcoming week (he's been really sick and was even hospitalized) so driving the bus will be one thing that's taken off of my plate.  My assistant director is also theoretically coming back to work this week after being off for surgery for a week however she's already asked me if she can continue to work half days until she "feels up to" working a full day again.  Like a dummy, I already have told her that if that's what she needs to do, that's what she needs to do; I should ask her one of these days if she really wants her job or not and if the answer is that she does, she needs to come into work for a full day and complete the job that is being asked of her.

I am hoping that I am able to make it through the upcoming week unscathed but we'll see if that's what happens or not.  So I can attempt to gather myself to prepare for the week ahead, make my lunch for tomorrow, and fold/put laundry away, I should probably bring this to a close for tonight.  Thank you for joining me, my dear readers, on this my 401st blog post.  Hopefully something I've written along the way has been meaningful to you or inspired you...  =)
