Drum roll please (I am so excited)...

Wow, I never thought that the first week back at school could be so crazy.  Never in all of my 12 years of Elementary and then High School, 4 years as an Undergraduate and then 2.5 years as an MA student do I remember being so exhausted at the end of the first week of school.  And the irony of it all is that I am no longer a student!  So why, might you ask, am I so exhausted?  Simple answer: Kids!

If you're anything like me, sitting on a plane for anything more than 3 hours is agonizing.  I admit it - I need to move.  And I don't just mean by stretching my legs or raising my arms like those silly plane 'exercise' videos demonstrate (how these videos can even be called exercise is beyond me).  Their measly suggestions can barely be called movement, let alone exercise.  More than anything, these short clips make me depressed because they remind me that I hav
