We finally know the date we fly out...April 16. That's only 87 days from today! I've been talking to the students about the trip more often lately and I think it's finally starting to hit that in 87 days I will be on a plane to Europe. I'm excited and a little nervous. I have a ton of stuff to do to get ready…like how do I pack? What do I wear to a castle? Should I pack a tiara? It is a castle after all. If you’ve never seen a picture of Neuschwanstein Castle, just Google it. You will be amazed! Well, maybe not if you live near a castle, but I’m from the U.P. of Michigan and I currently live in Northern Wisconsin, so I’m impressed. There are definitely no castles around here, unless they're built out of snow.
I also have to get sub plans ready for my classes for nine days. I hate making sub plans for one day…this is going to be interesting. I also have to make sure my family can handle my absence. They probably can, but I like to pretend I’m irreplaceable, so to help out my husband, I plan to make some dinners in advance to throw in the freezer. That way, my 12-year old son can pop them in the oven so supper is ready when dad gets home. We’ll also have a pizza night…more than once, because it’s easy and the kids love pizza. Anyway, that’s an update.
One more thing, this week is the last week the Global Diner will be open during basketball games. It’s an awesome fundraising idea, but it’s a lot of work for the person running it…ME! I really love doing it, but I just can’t keep doing it. If anyone wants to take over for me, I’d be glad to show you what to do. Just let me know.
