It started off in true Mardi Gras tradition, spending the night in Lockport, watching Steel Magnolias, preparing for the greatest day of the year - THE LOCKPORT PARADE! May I say that The Lockport Parade was amazing?! I never had any doubt about it, but it always surpasses my expectations! It was a beautiful day! In true Amanda fashion I was sleeping by 5:30, but this year I decided to take my nap at my teacher soulmate's and I overslept a little, by like four hours! Oops!
Something tragic happened: our float members voted to pull our float from the parade due to the weather. I was so sad I can't even explain it. It worked out though, because I ended up getting sick Monday night/Tuesday. I have a Mardi Gras plague or I go too hard for the Lockport Parade, one or the other. So I went to Urgent Care, got two shots and felt like a champion by Wednesday. Which I spent rearranging my classroom with the hopes that my nuggets will be in such shock that they change their behavior....positively!
The rest of the week was spent in one of the happiest places on Earth....Grand Isle. I literally laid around and did nothing! It was absolutely wonderful! Read a book, napped a lot, ate too much and didn't drink enough! I forced myself to get some school work done and now I'm glad because my Sunday night can be spent watching movies and Facebook stalking...don't act like you're above it!
I won't lie, I'm a little blue about having to return to the real world tomorrow, but I'll be one day closer to summer! Cheers to summer and here is to hoping your holiday hangover isn't too bad!
