It's Friday! 
And not only is it Friday, but it's paycheck Friday for both me and Tyler! And along with my regular paycheck, I got my $1,000 reimbursement check for not taking the health insurance offered through the school! Yay for money going into our savings account! (And to dinner out tonight. And last night...
)
I also finally received a definitive answer from the HR guy about my leave. I will not be returning back to school before the end of the school year. Yes, I will miss out on one and a half more paychecks, but I can deal with that. I will also definitely be getting paid during the summer. I have the email he sent me archived in my work email and also a hard copy printed out, just in case someone forgets this "exception" that is being made, haha. I will of course be returning to pack up my classroom for the following school year, so really the only downside about the situation at all is just being out of the teaching loop for such a long period of time...It took me long enough to get back into the swing of things after three months off this year, I can't imagine what it's going to be like coming back after being gone for six!
Anyway, back to the happiness of it being Friday! This weekend should be pretty relaxed. It's my weekend off from cleaning, so the only thing I'm doing home-wise is washing our sheets first thing tomorrow morning and remaking our bed. We're going to head out to a friend's rugby game in the afternoon and possibly go to another friend's Halloween party in the evening, but other than that, I will just be lounging on our bed with all my scrapbook stuff! It's been so long since I've spent a significant amount of time just being crafty, so I'm really looking forward to it! I'm going to turn up the iTunes and go to town on my and Tyler's couple scrapbook! I have everything bought for Piper's scrapbook, but I want to get ours caught up before I start on something new.
Well, it's almost time for me to head out for recess duty and then I'm helping out with the big blacklight performance for the K-4th graders followed by crashing some of the grade parties for some yummy treats! 
Happy Halloween!
