Fighting a cold, lots of baking, and an Ugly Sweater Party

This week felt insanely long. Throughout most of the week I wasn't feeling great. Luckily it just ended up being a cold. I had a few nights of very little sleep which was frustrating to say the least. I was productive at least and ended up making cookies in the middle of the night.

School went well. I had a lot of kids out sick, which is difficult when they need to make up work. I also had a few long days with parent teacher conferences and days with 4 classes in a row.

Friday night I went to the grocery school and then made another cheesecake, and a batch of linzer torte. Then Saturday I made sugar cookies, and mac and cheese, and baked ziti. It was a very productive day. People from both schools and a few other friends came over that evening for an Ugly Sweater Party. It was a lot of fun! It was quite enjoyable to watch everyone interact together.

This week should be pretty typical. Normal teaching and review, with a quiz right before Winter Break. Plus a staff holiday party mid-week to look forward to. Then eventually heading to my parents place for Christmas. It'll be nice to have some time off, that's for sure.
