*** T I M E O U T ***

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Then after a lot of other great stuff, he created teachers. Knowing that teachers would wear themselves out by devoting too much time and energy to their jobs, he created "Personal Days." Some call them "none of your business days" or "mental health days."
Whatever you want to label it, today is mine!!! I have learned that my students will survive and life will go on without Mrs. Lollar. So, this Monday, I will guiltlessly clean my house, work in my garden, check in on "The Young and the Restless," and give myself a pedicure while watching Oprah. All this before I pick up the grandkids at 3:00. A busy day of rest. But worth every minute. Watch out kids, tomorrow an energized Mrs. Lollar will return to class. You'll have a much better teacher because of a simple day of **T I M E O U T **
